Then on my way out some dipshit from class yells to me while in the middle of his set on the hammer strength shoulder press (why he was talking during a set beats the fuck out of me). So somehow (this always happens when I do a max set of anything) we come to a point in the conversation where he's asking how much I can do on the machine 'cuz he just nailed twin 45's (ie 100lbs TOTAL...50 each hand). So I told him I didn't know I hadn't done it in a while, even though I know I could nail 2 45's a side easy. So he says, I bet I can do more than you, you don't have much shoulder...So the fuckin gloves are off now, muffinman pops another 45 each side and manages to pull off 2 WHOLE REPS. So he says, "your turn buddy, goodluck with that" so I say "ok asshole lets play hardball, 50 bucks says I beat you" . He agrees and I pop another 45 on each side, total of 280lbs, 140 each hand...and I am now the focal point of the gym because only like 3 ppl have ever pulled off the triple threat lol. So I managed to pull off 2 reps! I know its hammer strength but 280 is alot of fuckin weight lol, I could've set myself up for failure/embarassment pretty easily AND the fuckin guy wants me to train him so he can be big and strong too!
MORAL OF THE STORY: I won 50 bucks and drinks were on Captain Hammer Strength for the first hour!

That's a great story. Just brightened up my day. It's funny, at the time you don't even think that it's going to be a good gym story but at the end, when you are victorious, you just realized, I have a great gym story....
keep it up man. You starting to inspire me.
