for sure they are... hey, who else thinks this guy sounds like Debaser... a hater..
Hater? Now I am seriously getting very upset.
You are 5'3 140lbs and bench 225lbs, that's perfectly cool man but that went nothing against what I said so, therefore, your post was complete and utter nonsence and didn't contribute one way or another to give evidence in either side of the story.
Okay?

Re: Re: Just some fun stats to think about:
Are you saying you don't think you can do that?
Why does it matter how many people can do it...you're only one. Be one that can. Your mentality is foreign to me (and I don't mean that harshly, I simply can't relate).

Bro here is another example of why you are pissing me off specifically. This thread is littered with some of the most ignorant, unenlightened, whiny shit I have ever seen. Go read the bench press sticky by Arioch on the Power Lifting board until you have it memorized. Then come back to this thread and realize what an ass you have made of yourself by calling bullshit on others bp numbers when you yourself know nothing about the proper execution of a bp.

I'd have to agree with IronLion here. With the proper training regimen, you can make your bench skyrocket. I jumped my max 40 lbs within a few months with needsize's 5x5, for example.

SK, I am 6'3", weigh 171 lbs, and bench 145 for 10 reps. Nothing to brag about (at least in my book).
I have a younger brother, who is 6'2" and weighs almost 180 lbs. He cant bp 120 lbs for 3 reps. When i started out in January, I was benchin 95 lbs for 10 reps.
Now if you saw my bro and I, you would think we were twins. I dont think genetics plays a role in this scenerio. If you look at his chest and tri's compared to mine, you would see why. If you look at his bi's compared to mine, his are much larger. DId I mention that I would guess his bf to be around 4-5% and mine is between 10-13%?
I dont think you can compare your very first lift to someone of the same height and weight that has lifted for a good while. There are too many other factors like spats has mentioned like recruitment. A muscle that is never used, might have size, but it is nothing compared to someone that actually uses that muscle.
On the other hand, you are right, according to physics, the shorter arm has the advantage, but its only one factor of many.

Re: Re: Re: Just some fun stats to think about:
I definetely think I will reach and break every single one of those lifts but I won't be 140lbs when I do it.
blinddeafmute,
I agree, genetics isn't the only factor. There are many other things, which I am sure we don't know of ...
IronLion,
I read the sticky the first week it was made a sticky. I still don't know how I made an ass out of myself.
