For the first time in my life

[once was fat]

For the first time in my life I can now bench more than my weight. This is huge for me. Im totally stoked. I put up 185lbs on decline bench for 10 reps. I couldnt believe it. Im sure If I could get 10 reps at 185 that I may be able to get 200lbs up. This is huge. I really havent concentraded on strength but when I first started I was using the 40lb dumbells for flat bench and now I use the 60lb dumbells and I can get 10 reps on the first try. Is this right inline with 6 months of working out hard?

Nice work, man.

I just got to the same 'milestone' as you about a month ago. Very cool.

I like when people are so humble. Bro your chest is twice maybe three times as big as mine and plust your a solid rock and even though your bulking you have top abs showing. bleh bleh bleh. Great work premier.

I just dont see it, but thx. I am only 195Lbs right now. Plus you accomplished something great. I read in another post how much weight you lost, I commend you.

Man, if you are doing 10 reps @ 185, you can definately get 200. Probably 215 or 225.

I can do press 65lb dumbells 10 times but I can't do 185X10 I assume then, that you could be moving much heavier dumbells.

You can do more than 2, see sig.

Thats way more than 200, but I'll let you open your own present.

Good for you, man!

Yeah, if you can do 10 reps at 185, you can certainly do 200.

I was psyched as hell the first time I benched my body weight. The average guy can not do that. I want to bench 225. I've never done that. I am currently at 185x5.
