I haven't done a bench press in probably 15 years. I'll be I could ride all you musle-bound fellas off my wheel though (bicycle, duh). 😀


haha. Ive been saying the same thing for years. How come no one asks "how many pull-ups can you do?" or "how fast is your mile?". Its always "how much can you bench?".

I can do 25 pull-ups, 7-minute mile @ 6'0 & 190 lbs

 
i got a new max today too, 250 at 215 body weight. I was kinda bummed that it felt really light and i know i could have done more, but i was very excited because i just got over a lull at 225 towards the end of last month. after benching the same for 3months, a 25lb increase is great.

i turn 17 november
