Holy crap!!  500 on a bench is heavy duty!

I worked out at a gym for many years.  I broke my back in 1980, compression fractured 3 vertebras, the T-6 (right between my scapulas) was really bad, so I had to minimize certain routines.

In my early days, one of my workout buddies had Razorback DNA, he'd been body building for about 15 years.  I watched him bench 440 and leg press 1200.  He was an animal.

Muscle is heavy... about 15 - 20% more than fat.

I still have the workout card from the Power House Gym that was created for me by my trainer.  It is the VERY best whole body workout routine I ever did for my body in the 25 years I did weight lifting.

Please be careful.  I have friends that were training for the Olympics that were injured pressing too much weight too soon and ruined their athletic future.

I occasionally had muscle pulls that sidelined me for weeks!!  I think my body was addicted to lactic acid!!  :gap:

By the way... physically I peaked at age 42.

Good luck with 500!! :thumbs:

Gnarls. :usa:




Ive got a buddy that's 43 and puts up 500 twice.
another buddy whos 36 putting up 450
I pulled a muscle in my back Monday warming up, took it super easy this week, rested curls and punching the bag

I have a well set up gym in my shop and Im there 730-3 so I get quite a good workout, its one of my business's, all I do is write stuff up here and there but need to be there 730-3 my short time goal is 135 120 times, just watched a 50 Y/O do it 111 times
