I suck at dips. I almost feel them entirely on my chest and relatively little on my triceps. But you’re right. Any brand you suggest?

This is the one I bought. I'm able to put 4x45lbs plates on it. You just have to make sure the smooth end of the clip is against your leg otherwise the clip can dig in. I know because it happened to me with 3 plates on lol. I'm lucky it didn't cut into my leg anymore than it did.

Well Brian Blessed (FLASH GORDONS ALIVE!!) allegedly benches like 400 daily and he is like 80 years old.

I'm not sure if this story is embellished or not, he is quiete the machine. He once was attacked by a polar bear while resting in a tent on an arctic expedition... That poor animal!

This app is pretty cool. This is Model my diet for women. There’s also a men’s version. Playing with the settings: 6’, hourglass, small bust, -1 body adjust gave me this result which almost matches my body atm. T/A off a little bit, but rest is dead on.

I had thought 160 sounded too skinny. The app sorta confirmed that. 170, though, looks like a great goal weight

Left one is pretty close to me. I always had real wide hips, so that’s something huge I have going for me. Legit hourglass figure.

Sorry I've been really busy with work. To answer your question about bench, I really don't know. I don't lift with anyone or usually bother to use a spotter except for when I'm really tired, I'll ask someone to just keep an eye on me. Bench is probably around low 300s if I maxed out. I do a lot of dumbells, so if I get tired I can just drop them. I've always had really strong triceps and a strong decline bench, which allows me to put up huge dip numbers.

I never started doing deadlifts and my brother stopped doing them due to injury. It's just too tough on the lower back. I also don't fuck around with squats. I strictly stick to leg press, but I do them with impeccable range of motion so that I get the most out of them. None of this stacking 10 plates on each side, bring it down 4 inches and then come back up. I go all the way down and all the way up, and if I can't, I drop the weight down.
