nope

you do realize that for anyone 30-40 years old to bench pressing 230-250 lbs for 30-40 reps is almost impossible to find. At least in the gyms I've been in.

Interesting challenge.  I'm nowhere near able to do this today, but I could when I was 20-24 years old.  Now that I'm 38, though (and just got down to 200 lbs), it won't be happening anytime soon.

It's a good challenge but I don't think I'd be able to do it.

230lbs for 31 reps is a tall order for me.

I am hoping i can do it this summer. I am 27 and 195 right now, but by the summer I hope to be 170. I have never accomplished it and am wondering if i let myself get too old to complete it.
