160 Lbs

[dr0832]

A buddy of mine thats been training for a while benches 305 lbs without gear, 325lbs after first cycle, but then back down to 310. Now I realize this isn't that much but this guy is 5'7 and 155 lbs. Is this a normal thing for a person of this size thats been lifting for a while?

 

[Lord_Suston]

that is real good for body weight but you also need to look at other factors such as does he squat or deadlift?? or is he a bench specialist???

 

[dr0832]

I don't think he works out his legs at all to be honest cause hes lazy.

 

[Lord_Suston]

well you have your answer then. No legs and back= chest + arms

I'd like to see a picture of this guy.

 

[dr0832]

sorry I got no pics. Last time I saw him was week 3 of 8 through his first cycle which was deca @ 300mg week and he was up 6 lbs, although he looked like he was up a lot more lbs. He said in the end he kept 10 lbs, the thing is he does not eat that well, cause he doesn't really know about a good diet. Hes been lifting for probably 8 years everyday and in past 3 years twice a day. I told him about elite but hes a computer iliterate. Hes has good genetica cause he eats pizza a lot and still has probably 9% BF

he almost weighs as much as jill mills

 

[b fold the truth]

he almost weighs as much as jill mills

Yeah...and Jill is ripped at 5'3".

I'm thinking that this guy needs a few meails before he spends his money on something like DECA.

So lets get the tally folks:
160 benches 325lbs
Squat I'll put him at 275
Deadlift at 315 can't imagine any more than this
Total=915lbs after 8 year and some cycles

Moral of story, that is a lot of years to waste on benching and juicing with minimal returns. So eat right take some rest day and hit the whole body

 

[John WB]

Damn. He benches a lot. I weigh 160 and only bench 105. Just been doing it for about a year. I hit the whole body though.

 

[dr0832]

no offense but you only bench 105 after 1 year of lifting? Do you eat clean and eat enough (6 meals a day)? You should forget about hitting the whole body.

why should he forget about hitting the whole body? weird comment.

yeah, i know planty of guys who bench a decent amount of weight, but they just look foolish, no legs/back

everyone in the gym benches, but not everyone has the balls to do the lifts that hurt
(legs/back)
