Being able to bench 300lbs...is useless. Yes, I've heard it before from my friends. It'll be useful when I need to move a fridge or get stuck underneath a car. As for as that goes...I'd say, my ability to run a sub 4 hour marathon is quite useless also. I'm just doing things to not get bored and see what my body will allow me to do while I'm still some what young.
Ray, if your shoulder hurts, don't push it. But I do find that working on your triceps, really helps when it comes to bench presses.
If and when I get to 300lbs...I'm sure that perfectly fine three plates on each side will be my final bench pressing goal. I just hope my womanly wrists doesn't snap on lift off.

I'm not looking to join the NYPD. I have no desire in taking down people, tackling them, beating them, etc. Being able to bench 300lbs is just something I want to do because I've got nothing else better to train for at the moment but I'm confused as to what disadvantages being strong might have. Please enlighten me.

I was talking to vdub....I was in my car so maybe I replied ln wrong message... And what I mean by strength is you can manipulate your opponent simply by controlling a wrist or crank and use momentum to take him or her down.... And as far as benching, I said if its a goal by all means do it! I wish I can put up that kinda weight but I can't lol, as long as you accomplish your goals or objectives your ahead of the game... Sorry for any confusion

And I Have some friends who are monsters by the way and the don't move as fast, carring around all that muscle and big arms and lats, makes them a bit sluggish... When ever we play fight they basically just bum rush sumo style sometimes it works and sometimes it don't lol , any way good luck to you guys awaiting the P.D, be careful out there, head on a swivel at all times... And always remember the most effective most underrated move the teep, a.k.a front push kick!

No disrespect taken and I do appreciate your thought on the matter. But being explosive powerful person In my eyes would not hinder me in anyway. I'm not big either only about 5'9 and around 205 right now but my movements are by far not sluggish nor did I say I couldn't take a person down that has a large weight advantage on me but stating in certain situations how having explosive power deffinately has its advantages. Very tactical approaches like the ones you stated do have there advantage aswell but I'm sticking with my philosophy

We can and probably will agree to disagree with this all day long mndthegap but like you said I'd rather like to keep this about working out. Now give me some thoughts about my tattoo

Thanks.
Ray, I don't remember when I last did DB presses. I used to do it thinking it would give me a better balance of left and right but I got lazy and stopped. I'm now seriously thinking hard about 315lbs before I go back to triathlon training again.
