I bench 538 on a nightly basis. Got to keep my body on lock for the OC cage fights

Can't speak for anyone else but I've always been very strong. Been lifting for over 30 years so I'd think I'd have it down by now.Fly4Fun;1612652 wrote:When did everyone become a bunch of NCF's?

This is all bullshit. What really matters is whether or not you can leg press a ton.

It wasn't a compliment... it was more mocking people for bragging about their athletic feats of great lifting strength on the internet.BR1986FB;1612657 wrote:Can't speak for anyone else but I've always been very strong. Been lifting for over 30 years so I'd think I'd have it down by now.

At an individual level, most of it seems feasible, although only if most of those who didn't indicate their own size are big boys. For example, I played high school ball on a 9-1 division 1 team and the number of us who could bench 1.5 times body weight was zero (our 112lb wrestler was the only kid in the school that could).Fly4Fun;1612727 wrote:It wasn't a compliment... it was more mocking people for bragging about their athletic feats of great lifting strength on the internet.

I really only lift to be at peak basketball shape. I haven't maxed in a while but would guess I'm around 250 at 175 pounds.

I played on a 14-0 D6 football team, and every kid that was in the weight room throughout the off season most certainly could do 1.5 times their body weight on the bench. There was only about 5 of us that did spend that much time in the weight room and none of us were over 200 lb, but we could all bench over 300 one time.queencitybuckeye;1612731 wrote:At an individual level, most of it seems feasible, although only if most of those who didn't indicate their own size are big boys.

For someone who is in the weight room 4+ times a week 1.5 times is not that hard to hit. Does it take a couple years from not working out at all? Yes, but is it uncommon among those that work out constantly? No.
With that said, at this time (almost 20 years later) I am about the same size and would be happy to get my body weight up.

Do you participate on an organized scholastic basketball team? If not, why do you need to be at "peak basketball shape" for rec ball?GOONx19;1612865 wrote:I really only lift to be at peak basketball shape. I haven't maxed in a while but would guess I'm around 250 at 175 pounds.

I don't have to be, but nobody has any reason to be in shape besides being healthy. Certainly no reason to bench 300+. I do play against Kentucky players and the occasional NBA players every few weeks, though, so I'd like to continue to get invitations by playing well.ernest_t_bass;1612962 wrote:Do you participate on an organized scholastic basketball team?
