Well, it has been quite a while. I used to be in the Gym everyday, until my daughter was born. Babies change everthing.

I doubt I could get 200 lbs. up now, but when I stopped working out about two years ago I weighed 190 lbs. at 5' 7" tall, my bench press max was 335 lbs. I typically worked out in the 275 lb range.

Wow, those were the days!

I was closing in on 325 a few years ago, but got out of it.

I just don't care anymore - I'm just me.

Got up to 240, then high school was over. Seems like now I'd rather just stay in good condition instead of power lifting. I'm definately faster and thinner than I was before.

I tied the New York state record when I was in 11th grade. 275 @ 158lbs. Now I'm 205 and can probably put up close to 400. I am trying to squat 500 in a couple weeks. I am 5'8" 205 with about 10% bodyfat. I bust my *** in the gym!!!! Natural!

Most I ever benched was 400 pounds (20 lbs. at 20 reps.)

My bench set keeps my clothes off of the floor.

Funny, well myself not too much I think it was 245# back at least ten years ago but I had a student who did 460# he was trying to beat the CA state high school record or 475#. I hate lifting weights.

Those great days were over about 35 years ago.

235 lbs lift at 142 lbs body weight when I was 22.


These days it can be difficult lifting a cup a coffee to my lips.

I really dislike this weird disease
