Would I be able to . . .

[david]

compete in the benchpress for like a 40 yr old category. I am 40 yrs old. Weigh 198 lbs.
& can benchpress 330 for 5 reps. With
a little more training; Is this even
close to being competitive ?

 

[Thick dog]

Sure. A guy I know who is 40 recently competed in a local meet and finished 1st in his class and second overall while benching 440 at a 240 lb bodyweight. Go for it.

Hey Thick are you talking about Wodin's grandson?

Sure that is a decent weight and strength for a grandpa.

330x5 at 198 is pretty solid. Especially at 40. Do it.
