[LiamT4]

i have just bought one of those liam a v40 2.0 turbo lol

Have you got 4 cars now?

[LiamT4]

I can't bench 95kgs now, but i could then. I was about 2 stone heavier in my early 20s and it wasn't fat

I helped put a 2.0t engine from a v40 on the back of a truck a few years ago, difficult to guess at the weight because they are difficult to get a good grip. but i would say it was heavier than the 95kgs that i could bench at the time.

I can do 8 reps at 130kg flat bench press i wasnt far off the 90-95kg lol

Thats a pretty good lift there, wish i'd have kept it up but when i got a full time job just didn't seem to have the energy to put in to it anymore.

Trying to start again, but can't really get into it properly, need to try and sort out some sort of routine.

Can only do 8 reps of 65kgs now

Just to add my 2 bits worth... When I was 14, I could deadlift 124Kg. I was 6'1" and 12 stone. By the time I met the missus, I was 25, 14st7lb, 32" waist, 48" chest and could rack-off 20 cross-legged chinups holding on with 2 fingers on each hand. Got married, changed job, got fat. The strength is still there but I'm a bit wobblier than I was! lol

I'v always found when mates have had a go for the first time they are shocked at how little they can do, but its the fact that not many people really use there chest muscles, day to day, so most people tend to start at low weights.

and they wobble around all over the place! lol

i agree with this because not alot of peeps do manual jobs these days but when you get used to handball in truck driving then muscles are used like me and james and probly frankie too.thats why we arnt fat truckers lol
