OT: Prop bet: Can Dali bench 150+ at next STTF-HUC?

[Daliman]

Ok, I'm fat, soft, and out of shape, I want to get in shape, but one thing I'd like to do is improve my upper-body strength. So here it is, profit-making opportunity for you all;

I will pay anyone in this thread that is in LV for STTFHUC 3 $10 if I cannot bench at LEAST 150 lbs. If I can, however, you must pay me $10, (but only if you are in LV at the time). To be eligible for this prop bet, you must say you want in in this thread, and make some derogatory remark about my strength, physique, etc, preferably funny. Funniest remark gets double pay should I lose, worst pays me double should I win, as discerned by me solely.

I'm in because I've never seen someone labor as hard as you do carrying your three-month old daughter in her car seat. If your center of gravity wasn't so low, I'm sure you would have toppled over. It was an amazing study in the laws of physics.

Where's my munny?!

[Newt_Buggs]

Sure, count me in. I felt the "strength" in those flabby arms and there's no way they're moving 150 lbs.

You used to be a male dancer and you can't bench 150 lbs?

I'm in [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]You're a nerdytwerpdorkfacedgeek who couldn't "bench press' 150# if your life depended on it. I'll make additional bet that you had to google "bench press" to find out what it meant. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Only if I can make the same bet with you whether I can bench 150...

How many times? Once? This is a very low threshold; I think lifting in the III weeks leading up to HUC-III would be sufficient.

EDIT: Just saw your OOT thread. If you can already max 100, which is about what I figured, I don't think it's going to be a really big jump to 150. It's a good goal, and all, but people would be dumb to take this bet if they suspected you cared even the slightest. I guess that's the real focus of the bet.

I think this is an awful bet for anybody to take, most guys given 2 months should be able to bench 150. I am 6' 1" and weigh 155 and I can easily bench ~100 (not reps though, I'm a sissy) and given enough training I don't think the extra 50 would be too huge.

I'll bet I can "clean & jerk" Daliwoman's left one (in the pike position) and stick the landing [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
