	2006/06/24, 10:48 PM for a 5 year old midget? 10 yr old girl? 70 year old man at 100lb? 500lb 30 man ? i am not sure if u can be anymore vague with your question... generally if u can bench your bodyweight then u're pretty strong for an average guy...

	2006/06/24, 11:53 PM what's your body fat like? like I said...you're benching your bodyweight which is pretty good...for an average guy who works out you're pretty strong... are you benching to get bigger or stronger? because the two goals are quite different.....I train primarily for strength...although I got bigger as well... what I bench is pretty irrelevant in this discussion...

I'd say mendy is putting up a considerable amount. He's benching around 330kgs. Thats what he asked for, isn't it? -------------- Iron and chalk. Pain is only temporary, it is in your mind.

Bisleri, "Mendy" is Scott Mendelson- he holds the world record for bench press- like 715 lbs raw and 1000 lbs with gear I think. -------------- I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is the moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle-victorious. --Vince Lombardi "Decide what you want, decide what you are willing to exchange for it.
