I did 3 reps of 220 on the old Boflex. Then I took a break and downed an ice cold Fanta.

I am probably not exceeding the pre-summer Wagner total now or ever again. That kind of makes me sad, but Father Time is a real cocksucker.

What's your highest bench press ever, HaLes?

285. 21 years old. Normal arms, and on some sort of testosterone performance enhancer given to me via injections in my ass by my old army buddy (and former UFC professional), Gabriel.

LOL! Never took a shot or pill, but might have had they been readily available

I think 245 when i was 19 or 20 which was also the last time I even remotely cared.

Two decades later I can’t even imagine getting worked up about a max bench press

270ish in college. That was reps though. I never attempted a max.

I did 405 my my freshman year of college. Never tried to go any higher but got that up pretty easily.

When you were 21, if you couldn't bench press your weight easily, you were either flabby or un-athletic.

I was 185 at 21, so that likely wasn’t a problem but I would have never done it.

Not true. I am - and have always been - skinny as fuck. I can't bench shit, but all of you uncoordinated dicks would pick me first to be your pickup QB or PG.

Think a white, handsome, short and slightly rapey* Reggie Miller.


I would never rape anyone, under any circumstances

Those that have to say that are the most likely suspects.

I've posted this before, so I'll do it again. @Mo T, I think you'll observe both some athleticism and complete lack of upper body strength in this photo. They can coexist, when conditions are perfectly mediocre.

Optical illusion. Lustrous.

Edit: my hair, that is. Doug's hog is probably lustrous too from all the lube tho.

It seems like if you were athletic you'd be farther ahead of the herd of cattle behind you

So if I'm not mistaken I believe basketball was invented by DR. James Naismith
