    Yeah..... right.

    My 1RP is my bodyweight 162.

    Those records are in gear. They say single and double ply next to them. Once you learn how to use gear and train in it, you will potentially have a higher 1rm because of the assistance that the gear provides.

    I witness this one girl in HIGH SCHOOL bench 150 at a lower body weight. I was like "how." She was stronger than me at that time. She was stronger than a lot of guys then.

    I also inform the spotter that I will let them know when they can take the bar from me if I know I am spent.

    Yeah, I learned that I should have done that the hard way :'(

    I lifted with a woman who could do over 200 with about the same body weight. Yes, that was competition and certified under IPF, so yes it's possible.

    That actually pisses me off and one time I redid a PR attempt with a different spotter.

    It's very rare that I need a spot because I maybe go for a PR only 3 or 4 times a year and its as almost as rare that I am asked to spot.

    So I quickly have to run through a checklist in my head of everything I just posted - always seem to forget something.

    I can press 185- I have it on video.

    You don't have to believe me. I know I can do it. Tough titties for you that you can't press more.

    a) As has been mentioned, bench shirts;
    b) They don't "say" they've done it - those are from PL competitions. They've been witnessed and judged. So, whether you believe them or not, it's verified that they bench that much.
    c) Ok...? So you aren't as strong as them.

    I find it a little disturbing that a certified personal trainer is doubting the results from an official powerlifting competition. One thing that anyone that has lifting for any amount of time is this. There are some really strong people and they don't always look big. There's always someone faster, stronger, taller, better looking etc...

    I used to wonder that to. I used to lift with a guy who knock out 275x5 easy and had no pecs. I was like how do you lift so much. His BW had to be around 150-160 if that.

    But I want to know if that was you or the 16-year old boy inside you that did that. ;)

    Impressive just the same.

    Dude! That was my experience yesterday with SG guy. He didn't look very big, was dressed in street clothes, and then repped all that out very easily in my max range.
