Yeh.. I can only do 120lbs about 15 times...

Yes, I'm probably really weak compared to other GBAtempers. Let's just see how I fare.

I can do 5,000 bench press units and a field goal.

I actually have no idea how much I can bench. I haven't tried it since highschool, which was 8 years ago. I think I could do 15 reps of about 160 pounds back then, but I've become considerably more doughy since so I bet I'm fairly pitiful at this point.

Also I remember that one time after benching I could barely bend my arms for a week. It was agony. So I was probably really overdoing it.

I can do 210lbs. However, I am pretty heavy - 185lbs myself. Most guys that trained with me in the army can do at least 250lbs.
-However, you are not that bad for a civilian Nero. I've seen guys who couldn't lift my mama's groceries.

45 + 45 (on each side) = 90 lbs + 45 (the bar) = 135 lbs.

I do 5 reps of 5 sets. I guess thats good for a 16 year old. And I weight about 140 lbs.

Quit doing weights a while ago since its my last year of school (big tests now :X)

Stopped at about 4 sets 10 reps at 60kg including the bar

EDIT: LOL I'm shit compared to some people here. I weight like 65-70 kgs last time I checked. Exactly 6 foot :X

Horribly embarassing, but I blame my fanaticism with being fast on the Sonic games on the Genesis. He was my childhood role model, and I always wanted legs like that. (Lol I am pathetic XD)
I've been trying to improve my upper body tho, my friend is teaching me jujitsu and I do lift weights and stuff every day... but none of it seems to help...
I was born weak is the problem.

second that!

I can't remember... i never really used the bench press except once or twice, then i feel kindof strange doing it when people watch me....

i'm probably a little above average considering i'm a reasonably sporty person, but I don't have a big build so not as much as those people.

Fast stats:
Female, 23, 5'2, 125-8 lbs.

So far my best is at 135 for 8 reps. I had a really good day then, so I wonder what my actual "max" is since that should've been it...
