That's pretty impressive.

Of course, I meant 600 with each finger.

When I said "per side," I meant "per side of each finger." So 1000 per finger. :flex:

my diet consists of potatoes and small mammals, small mammals are very good for the hands and helps me bench my RG7620.

I bench about 110lbs but I dont workout regularly

i've always been a skinny guy. and benching as always been my weakest lift.

i stopped lifting 2.5 years ago... but when i was into it, I was at:

body weight 166 lbs
barbell bench 210 lbs 1 rep max
dumbbell bench 85 lbs 1 rep max
parallel squat 330 lbs 1 rep max
deadlift 270 lbs 4 rep max
power clean 180 lbs 1 rep max
lunges 70 lb dumbells in each hand, 24 reps (12 in one stance, 12 in the other, back to back -THAT was pure puking pain)

maxed out at 250 and i weight 140lbs, but I've always been more of a rep kinda guy 250 was the most i ever did and probably can't do it now. but im pretty sure i could throw up my own body weight a commendable number of times. (shrug)

I can bench my own weight. I've never tried to lift more. I weigh 220 & I can press about 230-250 if I really heave it.

:eek: 220, Vince? Holy shit. I would've never guessed you weighed that much. I thought you weighed about 180 or so. :lol:

My new thing is curls. I have been doing alot of those lately. I curl about 45lbs in sets of 50. It's a great workout on the arms. Benching though is great, I may try to do more of that this summer. :agreed:

Try doing the dumbell walk. Start at the lightest weight and do 5 reps with each arms. Work your way up the rack until you can not complete 5 reps..then go back down...screw the high rep stuff on biceps. You want guns...this will give you bazookas

I think I'll start going to the gym again when I stop working at a hardware store. Right now I haven't got any time, but in about 2 weeks I'll have a vacation so I can start again. I'll also have more time than now when I'm at school.
