if i half ass barbell bench it usually settles around 245 for like 5-6 reps. it takes focusing on lifting heavy twice a week before it will climb and i can get it up to around 300 but as soon as i back off even for 2 weeks it drops right back down.

compare that to dead lifts for example, i can take a month off, and almost lift more the next time lol.


i havent been lifting heavy for quite a while, been focusing more on 10-12 rep range stuff and more auxiliary lifts like flies and raises. its really been helping with growing. but i sorta want to get back into a heavy lift mode again.

hmm, anyone up for a bench challenge?

you don't resemble the normal population.. also a genetics and your age have to do with a lot with how your body reacts to the garbage you listed that you eat. Also, body fat % does not mean you are healthy. An anorexic bone rack isn't what you would call "healthy, and fit". So because your body fat percentage is low, and you are able to eat all that crap, doesn't mean you aren't high risk of a heart attack by age 40.

My shoulder is healing slowly but surely. Hit the gym after my physio today to experiment with what lifts I can slowly start re-introducing without fear of starting prematurely. Biggest lift that gave me problems, and what I think messed up my shoulder to begin with was squatting low bar. My shoulder didn't have the flexibility to grab the bar well, and I forced it, injuring the joint and ligament. I threw some weight on the bar and picked it up high bar. No pain. So it looks like I will start squatting again, high bar until my shoulder is 100% better, and my flexibility is up to par.
