I can clear four plates.... ============ Quoting from anni313: I thought this thread was going to be on a totally different topic, wow... Well let's see, I was probably cocktailing about six months before I could carry 4 plates at once. I was wearing 4 inch stiletto heels, that certainly makes a difference. Of course, being a cocktail waitress I didn't serve dinner often, so I consider that a major gain in a short period of time. ============= -------------- FILL OUT YOUR PROFILE AND USE FIT BUDDY!!!!

	2005/01/26, 10:14 PM lol@deleted responses Smalbig your gains are very impressive...225 is a real accomplishment...you have a great built for bench pressing as well as perhaps other natural advantages...giving you better leverage... don't worry about what other people 'say'...there are many ignorant people who just like to suggest things when they don't know anything in this area....just continue to do what you're doing because apparently it's been very successful for you...sky is the limit...just watch your form and listen to your body...and give plenty of time for rest... lol...at first I was thinking he meant 405...which would truly be amazing...
