Probably getting a job; I’ll need that for almost everything else on the list, directly or indirectly.

(Presumably, the only way to stop a bad guy with a transgender-friendly privacy law is a good guy with a transgender-friendly privacy law, and thus transgender-friendly privacy law rights need to be enshrined in the Constitution as well)

Wow, 315 lbs? That's around 140ish kg right? How much can you bench press at the moment Mr. Snickers?
As for Malfeasinator, you already lifted 315lbs? That's impressive, how much could you lift now? When did you achieve that?
I can't lift CRAP now. I well, I don't know, maybe around 200 if I went right now, realistically 180, probably, but I was young, I was 24, 25, (so, 2005) and I'd been lifting on and off since I was 16. I had a couple co-workers I lifted with at the time, and they were good spotters and motivation. I also had some lessons from some older and more experienced lifters and I ate like mad.
My maximum bench ever was 515 lbs. I got 540 half-way up but I don't count that one. I was doing negatives with 630 (that's where you have someone help you raise it up and then just make the descent as slow as possible coming down - I learned that you could usually hold up more than you can push up, and you're still resisting against more weight - doing that helped my bench grow in leaps and bounds).
I stopped lifting like that for a couple reasons: one, after the 450 mark, the whole experience changes, and it's not just a lift anymore. You are being crushed, and it entirely feels like it, even down in your bones. It's a completely different experience and it's never pleasant. It was always kind of scary for me and I was relieved when the lift was over.
The second reason was that my co-workers made other plans. The one guy changed companies and careers to make more money elsewhere, and I don't blame him. The other guy started a serious relationship and spent all his time with his new girlfriend, a lady he's married to these days, with children. It was hard to do what I was trying to do all by myself, and I didn't really know anybody else at the gym to ask them to help me out. I'm not sure how many of them actually could help me out. I pretty much required 2 spotters.
A third reason, and this was more maybe after the fact, was that I started to feel like I wasn't really following my own goals, that my power had been something that I was achieving for other people. If I'd thought better of it, I would have trained more for just general fitness and maybe to look better.
I was lifting by myself one day, on a safer machine instead of free weights, so in case I dropped the weights, they wouldn't crash because there was an opening in the center. I put 450 on there and got it up for one rep. There were these young guys who accused me of being on something, saying stuff like "I could lift like that too if I was on steroids." I thought "What are you guys bitching about? You're in great shape, you're young, girls probably don't leave you alone. What's the problem?" And then I realized I would have rather looked like them. I didn't want to be big. Being big isn't attractive. It frightens people away.
So that's probably a little more info than you asked for but I hope it's a satisfying answer to your questions.

Physical strength might stem as much from exercising the nervous system as the muscles it controls. The findings could explain why those who lift heavier weights enjoy greater strength gains than low-load lifters despite similar growth in muscle mass.

P.S, I hardly ever seen you on this forum if at all, do you think you'll be commenting a lot more now?

The bike will probably be first. In fact, I’m at the dealership right now trying to get the financing going. Hopefully they don’t notice how poor I really am.
I used to frequent the site a lot more back in the day, but since I’ve been on Discord and everyone was super nice I am planning to be more active. (Don’t let the nine days that have passed since I last posted deceive you.) In actuality I never really left since I’ve been lurking in the shadows watching everybody’s every move. EVERY SINGLE MOVE. You should be ashamed.

Damn, Malf. What are you, a Russian curler?
In all seriousness, those are some impressive numbers. Hereafter, I will be imagining you as a bald, moustachioed circus strongman juggling sledgehammers and bending steel pipes over your knee and shit.

I hear if you go to Australia it's easy to find a mate.
