Its not about how hard you can hit, its how about how hard you can get hit and keep going, keep moving foward- Balboa

I started in febuary of '03, benching 90lbs at my weight of 140. I bodybuild but I also powerlift a bit because of my fast twitchness (I'm a sprinter, I got alot of fast twitch in me), so it didnt take me long. After about a month I passed my 100lbs mark to 110lbs (a 35 on each side), where I was donig that for 8-10 reps. Then after another month I got 8-10 reps at about 120 ( I like to make sure I'm stable) Then after another month I did 130 (a 45 on each side), Then 140, which I'm currently at, and will be at until I can bench it 8 times. I like to KNOW I'm stable before I continue on.

. I hate benching. I only like incline and I can almost do the same (10 pnds less) than flat.

It took me about 6 weeks, but i already had a low BF %.
If someone's got 20% BF, then it's gonna take a WHOOOOLE lot longer.

In November, when I first starting doing hardcore lifting, I was benching 110 about 6 times. Now, I do 210 6 times. I weigh 185. My max is 245.
