Same here on the rotator cuff thingy.I always did 6 rep sets. For 20 years, my sweet spot for benching was 380. I could power rip 420, (single rep).
There is a price though, both my rotator cups are destroyed. You can build muscle, but bones and cartilage are what they are, and eventually take damage from heavy weights.
I worked on my bench press back when I was in the Infantry so I could knock the shit out of people with a palm heel strike to their foreheads, and rattle their brains around in their skulls like a ping pong ball.How often in real life will you be laying on your back pushing a bar off of your chest?
And I find it funny that these people who can bench press their body weight or more can barely do 5 pull ups.
I've seen guys at the gym doing Lat pull downs with so much weight that they have to be held down but again they can't do shit for pull ups.
I've seen guys squat obscene amounts of weight but they can't do a one legged body weight squat
I don't bother with heavy weights and one rep maximums but rather focus on functional strength.

I did squats so that I could grab a guy by the belt and pick them up off the floor using my legs and then drop them face first onto the floor.
Torso strength allows me to put someone in a full Nelson and then pile drive their face into the concrete repeatedly.
Any other questions?
Uh huh.
How many one legged body weight squats can you do?

ZERO, lol
I am too fat and old for that stuff now.
Can only 3 pull ups last time I tried about a year ago before my wife took my pull up bar down. 20 push ups.
I am getting depressed now.
Thanks alot.

The problem with my years of lifting was an umbilical hernia. That ended that.

It didn't have to. After surgery you could still lift.

I was advised not to do so by the surgeon. Also, you cannot gain significant weight post surgery. Fortunately I have not.

Hernia surgery is no big deal.

I find it funny that you think generalizations prove some point.
