I have no clue, 45 maybe.  If a guy can't at least barehand shrug what I've got on the bar, I'll just lower the weight.  I'm not about being rescued.

gym opens at half 7 and they are there at the crack of dawn. train...then shower...then always always tea and toast after.

the supports on teh bench in my gym are low and i mean really low espec for me as im tall. the owner at 71 can easily pull 300plus off teh racks without a problem. this guy i was dubious about, but he offered and surprised me lots.

 Oh. Wrong thread subject. I thought it was about the infinate age and everlasting life of THE 'spotter'. He Who Walks Behind The Rose, The Tormentor of Derek Anthony. The Destructor.

I remember an old guy who used to train at my gym. Must have been 70+. He had that old man smell.  :D
He liked to do barbell cheat curls. He was heaving them like Arnold.

lol 315 only on the moon lol...its tough to lift out cos the rack so low and arms so long.

that old guy who spotted me has the strictest form i ever did see. old guys come on mon, wed and fri extremely early then at quarter to 10 and quarter to 1 there is a mass exodus to go to mass lol

Um...no

actually I think that she had more testosterone in her body than the men at the gym that morning (they were in the 70-80 years old range)
