Okay Veeky Forums I know you like to talk a lot about manlets this, lanklets that. So I've got a story for you.
>Be 5'10, start going to gym, about 1 month in, a friend, 6'4, classic lanklet joins me for a couple of sessions.
>We do deadlifts one day, I lift 176lbs or so. My lanky friend tries it, just can't do it, struggles really hard, but can't lift it.
>He starts asking how the fuck I do it, just tell him I guess I'm stronger.
>He just start saying how that's probably not true since he's taller, has done more athletic stuff in his life than me, bla bla. I don't really give a shit.
>He won't go with me to the gym after that.
Fast forward to now, about 3 months later.
>Doing bench press, next to me, a guy, 5'8 maybe does deadlifts.Deadlifting guy asks another guy, who's doing deadlifts next to him, he's maybe 6'3 tall, if he can help him watch his form. Tall guy agrees.
>Tall guy says he's doing well, says something else I can't hear, tall guy wants to show shorter guy something, can't lift the shorter guy's weights.
>Tall guy starts throwing a hissy fit. "Look, you're gonna break your knees and back lifting this, I'm bigger than you and I can't budge this, quit now, okay? Just quit, lower the weights, seriously. Don't deadlift for a while dude, just go.
>Shorter guy's just like "uuh, no.."
I thought it was us manlets that were insecure bitches. Anyone else has stories like these? Don't matter if it's the short or tall guys throwing tantrums.
