The Dredge Tank. For posting all the low tier reactionary bullshit that you can't post anywhere else. Got some bullshit from Reddit with 2 upvotes and want to share, post it here.

This community was created with the purpose that Rule 8 fans will just block it.

The rules are literally The Dunk Tank's rules, just without rule 8.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Ok 225 is pretty solid though

Certainly don't want to diminish anyone that is proud of benching two plates and isn't acing like a jackass about it. Reaching your personal goals is a very positive part of lifting. But acting like people choose to be "weak" and that makes them "lesser" when He's probably not even in the top lifters in an average commercial gym anywhere in the country is pretty pathetic.

It really depends on his height and weight. It’s very impressive if he’s like 5’2 and 115 pounds. 6’3 and 240 pounds makes it less impressive.

Everything is relevant yes but 225 is more than probably like 99% of the population benches. I'm not saying he's a good person or anything.

I say this as a person who maxed out at like 250-260 when I was younger, like I've done that work I just don't think 225 is anything to belittle.

I know you aren’t calling him a Saint lol but yes 225 is respectable no matter where you are. It just happens to be even more impressive for smaller weight classes.
