Re: Benching 55 lbs:How strong am I?

Don't waste ur time w/ the bench press. Concentrate on the 45 degree
leg press. U ultimately deliver more weight to ur nervous system and
gain more. There just isn't enuff muscle/nerve tissue to stimulate as
compared to ur lower body (65% of the human body's muscle mass is below
the waist (glutes,quads, hams, gastroc/soleus). Muscle growth is NOT
localized is systemic.
