Yeah, lifting at least your own weight is is good. Above that is is a show of strength imo.  Afro

i used to be like Oom. Weighed like 140-145 and benched about 180. i ran more than i lifted though. basically i just wanted to keep some speed and still have some kind of definition up top. my waist was as thin as 28" but that would actually fluctuate. id hold 28" for a couple weeks and then it was 29-30 inches regularly.

in comparison, there was a dude my height in highschool that benched just a tick under Lakkus (around 250).

people that have shorter arms have a way easier time benching more weight. Also benching a high amount of weight doesn't mean a whole lot imo in terms of geting a massive chest people that do chest flys are the ones with the man pecs  Afro

I had big shoulders and almost no pecs. I did tons of flys trying to fill out the middle of my chest but never got the big rounded pecs most people do. I also lifted a little different while benching by pushing my back into the bench and using my shoulders more.

yes, people with short arms have a mechanical advantage. there were two twins in my class had a huge weight to lift ratio due to being tiny with shorts arms.

benching a lot of weight only means you have those muscle groups built up. I could curl a lot and could do a ton of pull ups. I couldn't squat much though. I had a lot more upper body strength. but, i was one of the three fastest sprinters in a class of around a thousand people.

also, you can be big in mass, but weak in strength. dudes that spend all their time in the gym aren't as strong as farm boys that work in the fields all day. one of the strongest people I ever knew came from Nebraska to play football at my school and the dude was a beast before he ever hit the gym.

Probably depends on what chest workout you're doing.  I know that if you strengthen your core everything else will develope.

 Hit 305lbs x2 reps in the Sumo Deadlift on Wednesday. It is the most I've ever done, but I can do more for sure.

I can probably max close to 400lbs.

I've been doing dumbbell press, incline dumbbell press, underhand cable pull things (not sure on name, lmao) and the chest press machine. Mixing it up between those, and pretty much no gains in like... 3 months now. and I'm still pretty much at the beginner stage, so it shouldn't be like that. Like I said, I'm getting progress everywhere else, just not chest. FFFFFFFUUUUUUU-

do a set of dumbell flys and right after your set do as many pushup as you can then another set of flys and repeat untill failure and on the pushups maybe one set regualr pushup the next wide fly or military. you have to constantly mix your workouts up with chest it plateaus pretty easy if you do the same thing over and over

if you are trying to build up the middle of your chest, you need to move your hands closer together when benching, doing dumbbell presses, chest flys, etc... if your hands are closer together, you use the middle of your pecs more. if you spread them apart, you use the outside of your pecs more. do push ups with your index fingers and thumbs touching... like make a diamond with your fingers. try looking up how to isolate certain muscle groups by doing certain forms of weight lifting.

My max bench is about 315 now. It used to be more before I had shoulder surgery several years ago. I haven't really bothered trying to max squats or dead lift. I had lower back issues about 3-4 years ago, so I just do reps now. I usually squat about 225-245lbs- 3 sets of 10. I can work my way up to about 8 reps of 540 lbs on the hip sled(leg press machine).
