455 x 5

One rep max benches scare the shit out of me, I'm too worried of injury. I'm guessing I could hit a 495 for one or two. Doubt I'll try anytime soon...

that's scary!!

Top Gym bench (none competition legal) 510x1. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gxZDd6gWMqo
I'm 6'6" and today weighed 305 - but I can't bench worth a shit right now, as I'm trying to rehab my right delt/bicep.

Wow, very impressed....

My one rep was 462, when i was: 213 lbs. Now my one rep is: 396 and I'm only 203 lbs.

Why is it the BENCH is always used as a measurement for test of strength ( I've done 900 lbs x 22 reps x 10 sets by the way) Why not parallel legal squats? Or true Deads.... that is strength to me.... a good, reasonable bench is fine... but the KING and Queen of all exercises should be the measurement...maybe Ill start a new thread.

The bench is a good gauge of upper body strength. The squat a good gauge of lower body strength, and the DEADLIFT the true test of total body strength.
The bench is glamorized because it's what most non - competitors can relate to. Of the 3 "big" lifts it's the one that causes the least amount of exhaustion and general misery.

No, but have had a couple physicals. Blood pressure, urine, heart rate, etc. Most recent one was while on cycle and everything was good. Never had gyno or ne thing just sore nips for a week one time 6 months after a cycle( fuckin deca) went away by itself though. And the typical backne

Blood work is probably a good idea though. How do I go about getting somethin like that done? Arent they gonna know Ive been using by the results and deny ne treatment?

 

[ireekofawesomeness]

no, not at all. most docs could care less--might get a lecture from some, but then they go on to help get things right. your best best is to go to a reproductive endocrinologist, but a reg doc can run the proper blood work and see if you need to see a specialist.

there are mail order services, but you need a real doc looking at all the numbers to make sure all is right.
