Tell me OP, is the bar touching your chest on every rep? Because the bench press stat is a little hard to believe.

I feel kinda bad for the OP. Hopefully a decent portion of your hips are fat otherwise you're looking at some seriously wide hips which you can't do much about.
...also I don't know if it has been mentioned, but you may have gyno.

Oh btw I have a picture of when I was 18 with maybe 10% bf and you can tell I don't have gyno. Most of you are just ass holes with nothing better to do that insult people trying to work towards something

Don't. Especially not with your RC joint history. And for the record, if you don't touch your chest with the bar, don't tell the internet about how much you can bench. That last inch or two can make a 50 lb difference.Originally Posted by DavieBanner
Finally, what you should be doing is dieting off that fat and benching with dumbbells.

People don't usually bench that wide dude. Pinkies on the ring IS wide. OP has a history of shoulder problems. He absolutely should not be benching that wide.Originally Posted by speedjason
Take another look at his triceps. If what you say is true, he'd have bigger triceps wouldn't he?

take it from someone who knows it can develop even in your 20's, theres 2 types tho, one type is fat gyno where you have a high BF %% and it just looks like gyno, the other is actually the gland thats grown and unless you catch it early enough theres no option other than surgery. you know your own body though.Originally Posted by DavieBanner
personally i would cut and try to lower your BF if you want to get rid of the hips

Ah. I'd be surprised if you went all the way down for 10 reps with that weight considering the pics.Originally Posted by DavieBanner

waist is huge, leg is kind of fatty and huge. Back looks ok, traps looking good.
lifts more than 255 for 10 reps? is ur ROM 1inch? maybe you have high bodyfat so it's hard to see the muscle, u just look a lot weaker than ur supposed to be.Dymatize ISO-100 protein: 25g protein, 1 carb, 0 fat, 0 lactose, 0 sugar

I've seen a guy do 315 for reps by going slightly under parallel. I've also seen the same guy struggling to do 225 for rep doing full rom.
The moral of this story? I believe you when you say you can do 255x10. I just don't think your half rom bench is all that impressive.

Went to gym this AM, took another pic.
I think you guys are mid interpreting shadows for gyno. Here's another pic and I seriously don't see it. I see 6/10 pecs with nice definition down the center. Idk what the lines called.
And I don't think I'm great. My lifts sucks. That's why I'm here asking for help and all I get is stupid gyno/10 posts har har har. I'm 24 and live in the real world. In the real world it doesn't matter if your BP 100lbs or 400lb. If your going to the gym and trying your more dedicated and proactive with your health than 70% of the population. Think I make fun of the fat guy in my gym doing body weight curls or half reps? **** NO I'm like "I'm glad that ****er is here doing something, go mother****er go"...
Here's last pic and again I don't see it.
And again for those of you who can't read I do 3/4 rom because of a shoulder injury and its comfortable for me at that percent. Anymore and my shoulder kills me for a week. With that said why the hell wouldn't I do 3/4 rom? I don't think greasing the groove and faking it till you make it applies in injuries caused by high speed collisions. I may be way off here however. And subjectively a 255 half to three quarter rom BP for ME is better than anything LESS. Quit comparing me to you. I am not you. Compare me to how much weaker I could be
