Mamdani tried showing off at a “men’s day” event

My dad’s rule was that you had to be able to at least bench your body weight before you got to high school. Me and my brothers got that done by middle school.
 
I have a theory that it's easiest to build muscle if you do it (weight-bearing exercise) when your body is still loaded with HGH. I started lifting when I was in Vietnam (yes, really) at age 21. My goal was to get two 45# discs on each side of the bar (225). I weighed about 175 at the time.

Never made it. Still have never made it.

I do sets of 30 pushups now and could probably do 135 pounds on the bench, but now I do my BP in the seated position on a machine.

Zohan Mamdani tried to act like he was a macho man this week by doing a few bench presses with a girly weight hoping this would prove he was a man.

Total failure.

He used my warm-up weight and needed a spotter just to get it off of the rack.





Useful tip. Never do anything in front of cameras unless you've practiced first.

I'm sure he could do it if he started building up in weight in private because bench presses take practice.

I remember when I first benched 135 lbs when I was 12.

I used to be able to bench about 250. Nowadays, probably 150 would be my tops. My legs were always my strongest. I think 800 was my tops with those.

I used to do squats along with the Offensive Linemen when I was in college and I was a kicker.
I stopped doing squats because my knees are messed up from all of the pounding from heavy rucks later in the Army.
My max on the bench was 275 but I never really worked at it very hard.
I could do 280 on the military press. They say you should be able to lift your weight over your head.
I couldn't max out on the leg machine because they couldn't get enough weight to max me out.
Most was 900 and there was no more room to put more wheels on it.

When I was in college we had a DB coach who used to play for the Vikings. Nate Wright. He was 5' 10" maybe 195 lbs and he could bench over 400 lbs.

That’s impressive.

I weighed about 300 at the time

My workout weight was 160 pounds when I was doing bench press regularly, then I hurt my rotator cuff and someone told me it was probably from bench presses, and I tend to agree. I don't know what my max. is because I didn't really care.

Since then I've gained more upper body strength from doing pullups than I did from bench presses.

I was at around 250 for the last 10 years till I started dropping weight from stress over my wife.
I'm down to 228 right now.
Drink lots of water and stay away from beer and sodas and you'll drop weight, if you want to.
