I don't really care more than I'm just curious as to where I am on the spectrum of lifters my size.

More than I can do. But I don't bench. I tried benching, it just felt uncomfortable. I've always been more of a fan of deadlift, despite how bad it is on your back apparently.

When I was in the military all the short stocky guys were naturally good at benching. Shorter distance to press the weight.

Hell yeah! You've been putting in the effort and getting the payout. Bravo.

Compared to an sort of powerlifter, no, you're a little above novice. Compared to the pool of people you'd find at a walmart or other "general population center", you're amazing.

Yeah that's basically what I was gonna say, I was pretty into powerlifting for a little bit (never got real good at it lol but met a few personal goals so not upset haha). But yeah man odds are if you're in a room with just average people who don't work out you can probably do more than them, keep it up!

Thanks man! I don't even drink protein or creatine lol. I'd probably be at like 225 by now had I been supplementing.
