On another note how many guys claim a bench when the bar doesn't come anywhere near touching their chest?

Too many people these days Rich!

Maybe he trains for strength and doesn't care about size?

maybe he trains for strength AND lies (not size)

Most guys have a weak lift on one of the big 3 (Squat, Bench, Dead)

The guys saying they can't squat are usually just naturally weak squatters, trying to do too much weight and claiming their backs hurt.
Their ego's prevent them from stripping the plates off, starting light and working their way up. So out come the bullshit excuses.

Exactly.

I'm 6'2 and started squatting for the first time last september (started training again in August after been out of the gym for 6 years) and I'm up to 300 x 10, taking it slow getting the correct ROM and the improvements are coming along.

I am not strong ! Not strong at all !
especially on pressing movements, don't know why but I suck ass at bench presses and movements like this.
the max I have ever done is 315 lbs x 3 and it was not good form and I was also 230lbs at the time.

-on rows I do ok, I rep 275 for 8-10 with an underhand grip.

-rack deads (from the knees), 6 plates per side for a few reps (6-7 is my max)

-squats, I don't go heavy on those anymore they kill my knees but the max I have ever done was 190kg for 1 rep. (415 lbs or so ?)
if I want to go that heavy again I would need to do nothing but squats in my leg workout and work my way up very slowly. I think that will be my next leg workout !

surprising mate since your chest and delts are impressive.

to be honest i dont know many other 20year old who could that so you really are pretty strong dude.

i would have had you as a strong presser. Then again you ar e abbuilder and not a PLer.

cheers dude

yeah for my age it's not so bad, but I am also not natural.
I know a few guys my age who absolutely destroy my numbers!

yeah people always think I am a strong presser but with my long arms I am more of a good puller if anything.

you can pull good looking girls too Goudy !

just have to be confident that's all ! Also, if you want a good girl, don't pick the girls who are dressed like sluts with a lot of make-up who go out in the clubs very often. Those are only good to fuck.

Maybe not but you got the bodybuilding thing down. Some people are really strong and can't get contest ripped and some are not as strong but can get shredded while still holding alot of muscle. Maybe it has to do with workout styles.

Big Bev Francis could bench 310 for reps Not bad for a female if you don't believe it just ask Arnold he watched her do it, way back.
