I currently weigh about 162 (IMO, I'm about 10lbs over my target weight), and I can bench over 230...how much over, I don't know...because without a spotter I won't even try. Don't overdo it unless you have a spotter. Just go after small gains, a week at a time. I would suggest you make friends at the gym (if you don't have them already). My buddy and I are both programmers so we have a lot in common and it just came to him that he wanted to work out w/ me. Fortunately, he's been serious about it. I've had friends that just go "to go" but we are actually feeding off of each other. There's usually pretty cool people around to give a spot when my friend isn't able to make it. P.S. I benched 240lbs this Monday

Different limitations can sometimes make it hard to get past that while others have no problems beating that. Oftentimes shorter guys have an easier time progressing, especially on bench. The weight just doesn't have to move as far. My guess is that if you're ready to brag about your max, you're probably around BW and could be hoping for much higher. Good post. I've been past benching my own weight and am currently working towards benching 100lbs more than that. I'm at 235lbs and I'm sure this week I will get 240 since I felt pretty good doing the former early last week. There's a bench competition they have in the fall at my gym and am hoping if all goes well (no injuries, fall semester courses, etc) I'll be competing. I asked the athletic director to give me last years results and the year before that (which I was a part of) and it seems like it's the same guy coming out on top. An asian guy coming in at 135lbs and benching 245 so its an automatic that I have to bench at least 100lbs or more my own weight.

Before I give out my current max in benching and my ultimate goal for this year, where do you guys think I'm at? I'm 5'5 160lbs. Just want to see where I should be and what you guys have seen at the gym since it's hard to compare myself with others since they're usually taller than I am. Be honest.

Yup . . .

Cody with a three run blast to win the series for the Red Sox . . .

Only Thornton would give up a hit after being 0-2 in the count smh.

Escobar choking up . . .

Here's hoping Youkilis hits a HR in every at-bat he's pitched to at Fenway (hell, seems like every former wsox player does so against us).
