PEDs for 25 years to bench 1.3x body weight
I am currently around 225 and that was not a max effort. Regardless though Benching is about absolute strength not relative ratios. Lighter guys like yourself at 170lbs always want to argue bodyweight ratios but as you get heavier they really don’t apply. Are you stronger than someone if you bench 1.5x your bodyweight (170x1.5 or 255) and they bench 1.4x (225x1.4 or 315) their bodyweight? Hell no maybe you can even bench 275 or more great good for you but it’s not about bodyweight ratios it’s about absolute strength. Also there were several years I was barely lifting much less on anything. I never said 300lbs was a big bench press but you guys said I couldn’t do it so I did it. You guys set the bar at 300 just like you claimed I couldn’t overhead press 150lbs or curl 150lbs or row 125lbs. I didn’t set any of those numbers you guys did I agree several of them are low and I even said not a challenge but you guys erroneously insisted I couldn’t do it so I did it.
I have made every lifting challenge and backed up every lift I said I could do other than 405 squat as the knee was not as stable as I had hoped and wobbled at 365. So that is bench challenge made( you guys said I couldn’t bench 300 and I did it rather easy, curl challenge made(you guys said I couldn’t curl 155 I curled 165 for 3), row challenge made( you guys said I couldn’t row 125 I did 10 reps), overhead press challenge made(you guys said I couldn’t overhead press 150 I military pressed 155 for 7 reps after training chest), and I stopped the squat challenge 40lbs short due to a knee wobble but I squatted 365 to full depth. 4 out of 5 isn’t bad. Like I said I have never lied about anything I overestimated my knee stability and was off by 10% on the squat. So I get called a liar on everything because my knee wasn’t as stable as I had thought that’s not right.
