I can hit 500lb twice on a good day- goal is to get it four clean controlled reps.

If 1 guy has a big chest and another a small, then the guy with a small chest can bench more, their is no rule if your chest is big you sre strong, absolutely not,,,,,,,,,,however if chest grows over the period of 12 months by 30% say, obviously the added muscle on the chest would contribute to a stonger muscle, if my arms grow from 16 to 18 then my arms will be stronger, common sense, I think that's what T-bombs is trying to say.

Sorry Coach but you have a "limited" range of motion.

Coach is Back! · « **Reply #63 on:** August 01, 2011, 09:07:06 PM »

You have no idea who he is do you? Here's a hint....google "Gus Rethwich powerlifting" and Gus Rethwich Running man".

so much goes into a good bench than just size...you cant really equate the two...

tbombz was adamently argued that the lats played no role in bench pressing...

that right there should tell you all you need to know about him

Bro you are not understanding what he is saying....read my last post above, he means a biggermuscle in relation to yourself, you can't compare 1 person's size muscle and strength against another person because muscle is only 1 contributing factor, tendons,ligaments, joints, energy levels, and even mentality comes into play in a lift, if and only if all these factors are equal then the bigger muscle will lift more, this is only logic, strength being the primary role of a muscle.

and you don't want to do a show due to the cost of PREP? even if prep was 10000 grand, shit aint nothing for you lol

Fitness4Life · « **Reply #68 on:** August 01, 2011, 09:25:37 PM »

in defense of tbombz, heavyass weight does build muscle, to a certain degree. I think what heavy weight training will add "more" to the muscle than a bodybuilder who ONLY lifts light.

Fitness4Life · « **Reply #69 on:** August 01, 2011, 09:27:18 PM »

oh and btw, last time I maxed was 405 for 1 rep.

hardly benching these days though, shit is brutal on my joints. for some reason incline barbell isn't so bad

Incline barbell is 365 for 1

NO!! you walk away with more. why do people spend thousands on a cruise to europe and back? they eat shit, they're on a boat, they finally get to see some europeans and a landmark or two. then repeat that shit on the way back. But it's saying you been there. winning something is better. or am I crazy for feeling this is better, I really don't think so.
