There are really not that many people that can do over 300...consider yourself special

I'm jus a lil guy so 265 was a lot for me.

i am 6'3" and about 230 and last time i maxed out i did 255... granted this was my sophmore year in highschool, and i have not really worked out regularly in over 3 years so i have no idea what i can do now. i would love to be able to do upper 200's some day but i just dont have the time to work out that much

I duno why but I'm a muscular kid, I am not fat at all and weighing 185 is pretty high for only being 5 8..but i'm not that strong. I played varsity ice hockey..no football for me

At my strongest last year I was doing 265 max on the bench, regularly like 175-200. I did 160-170lb on each arm for those lil decline machines (they're pretty easy)...probably 50's if I did dumbells. I did 50s on the incline w/ dumbells...and like..40-50 on the chest fly cable machines...i havnt lifted in about a year so I'm down a little bit, I'm benching 165ish 4-5 times.

Yes! I used to curl several 32 ouncers every weekend at a shady little bar when I was in college about 14 years ago! Now I play it safe with the 16s like F150Texan!
