Just to make you guys understand one thing. Building up a beautiful body with a certain muscle mass doesn't necessairy have to do with taking extremely heavy.

There is a BIG difference between powerlifters and Body Builders.

When PLs go to the limits of their strenght, BBs normally stay around 80% of their strength.

Ah well. Sorry Arnold, I just had to say that one......

*sigh*
the on-going quest of "how much can you bench?" Nina is defintely right on her part, but if you are interested in strength for the sake of it, bench is the least impressive. squats, deads, clean and jerks...........NOW we're talking poundage!
