    ok my ? you don't fu.ck wit the weights lol. Are you saying can you lift twice your weight one time or actually doing reps? If you talking bout doing reps then you look like the incredible hulk.

    Lol i hope you wasn't talking about the b ball player earl boykins.... Lol!!!!!

    Dude, i'm 5'9 190lbs and i used to bench 200 when i was playing sports. I'm already light weight swoll right now and i only bench 175 now. Do you know what a ? start to look like after 200 lbs? This is why i reduced my weight cause that bulky look aint sexy to the females no more. Plus you start to look funny in your shirts.

    Push-ups>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>bench press

    No lie though, I miss bench-pressing. Too bad my weight bench went out of commission months ago or else I'd still be benching. But, I love push-ups!

    Well I just started repping 315 this year and i've been working out since 2007. And it was a struggle just to get to the 3 plate benchmark. 4 plates seems a mile a way, but with hard work and dedication i'll get there 2!

    If your over 200 pounds, benching twice your weight will not come easy. When's the last time you seen people in the gym benching 4 plates? I've only seen it done maybe 3 times since i've been training. Shoot, you rarely see people pushing 3 plates in the gym.

    ? , do you know how much twice your body weight is? You know how hard it is to get into the 300's? The stronger you get, the harder it is to get stronger.

    I weigh 205 pounds can bench 245 but been stuck there for a few months now! Been working out on and off since 2006 but started doing it 3 days a week since 2009. But bench pressing twice your weight would be hard as ? ! Never seen anyone do more than six 45lb plates on a barbell

    Look at me dude. I weigh 180 lbs. Do I look like I can throw up 180 lbs?
    180 lbs isn't that much. If you work out regularly on a good plan for 4-5 months you could do that multiple times.

    I only weigh 140lbs but I maxxed out at 235 last year. Its not impossible to have a low body weight but stiill lift a lot. Depends on your body type, how much you work out, and what you eat.

    I put up 315 about a year ago. I weigh 175. I switched to dumbells get more results so Im sure my bench has gone down some.
