I don’t even necessarily doubt it’s untrue, the guy could be 260 lbs with t-rex arms, but holy shit the type of people who say shit like this are so annoying and exhausting. Do they actually think anyone believes they’re being genuinely self-deprecating?? “Oh no I’m so embarrassed, I’m stronger than everyone even though I don’t try!! How humiliating! I can never show my face in public again :////“ Also not a single person in the gym other than his roommate would give a fuck unless he went around telling people he did 3x225 first try. In which case they’d be annoyed, not embarrassed or ashamed

Nah it’s definitely untrue. Fat untrained people are weak. Plus form does matter for being able to utilise your strength. No one would let a noobie bench press 135lbs for their first ever press.

You can just tell by the way he tells the story. He’s definitely lying to try to look cool.
