Weigh 135, I max 250 (bench) and 28 pull ups. Is that good?

I was wondering do you think this is good. I weigh 135 and my max is about 250. I can do 28 pull ups non-stop in one set.

are you a tree stump? you gotta be

What do yo mean by tree stump?

short and thick, but strong

if its true... that's amazing stuff

lol I see. Well I'm 5'6. My goal is to not be really big and bulky but more like bruce lee.

Then stop lifting weights and start taking martial arts lessons.

Bruce Lee lifts. He is very very strong. I'm not even close to his level. Most likely will never be at his level of strength, speed, endurance, psychical fitness and physic.

link or didn't happen.

Youre prolly lookin at it the wrong way. I dunno much about that fella but it seems to me he was tryin to be thebest him as he could be, and I guess that's the thing you should do too, just like him. hehe

I agree with this sir or madam with whom I have had no prior acquaintance.

Don't go crazy with the weights if your trying to get a body like Bruce! Focus more on resistance exercises like pull-up's, push-up, situps.....and plenty of cardio work! Now I'm not saying to totally cut out the weights....just limit your use of them! BUT the first and most important thing is a healthy diet, if your not willing to start putting the right food in your body you might as well forget everything thing else I said.

@MarcRecon: Yeah my focus is on body fat %. Right nowmy body fat is around 8%. Which means I have my six pack. I think I need to drop to 6%.

NO...8% is fine, Google the dangers of TO LOW body fat! As I said before your main focus should be nutrition! If possible focus more on organic and try to minimize your use of process!

*does winky face*

I can do 5 pull ups. :-/

Yep that is always true. 80% kitchen 20% gym. No matter how much you workout never gonna get any results if your diet isn't right.

@chansaet:

Then you are already headed in the right direction my friend! :)

i guess it's good for lifting things.

That bench is fantastic but I would imagine you could get more out of the pull ups seeing your so strong and weigh so little.

Your definitely on a good track though. I also think at 5.6 the bruce lee route is preferable to the bulking route... your physique would look extremely disproportionate if you started bulking. There are also multiple supplements on the market which enable you to "cut" but if you already have solid abs then these dont really apply. Im not really sure what it is you are seeking from this thread tbh. I dont mean that disrespectfully btw.

bodybuliding dot com forums are incredibly helpful and insanely active, it has a progress tracker and a crazy number of workouts for the fitness enthusiast. Hope it helps.

I never heard of Bruce lifting (not saying he didn't, but never heard of it). Normally what you hear is the whole "He ran for half an hour then he'd cycle, then he'd go skip rope" but never (to my knowledge) lifting.

Whatever !

Videos or I call BS. I love the guys that claim a bench press but then you see them do it and they're bouncing the bar off their chest and arching their back like they're doing a decline press. Let us know your numbers on the lifts that actually count...squat and deadlift.

@MarcRecon: Weight lifting is resistance training, you boner.

LOL, world class crossfit athlete Rich Fronig, at 195lbs, only claims 75 pullups as a personal best, and that's the kipping pull-up nonsense those guys do. I.E. you're full of shit, but it's your story so tell it how you want.

The internet...where everyone presses 3 plates and bangs a different chick every night...

Both at the same time and right after knocking out the chick's marine husband by clobbering him on the head with their 15 inch penis.

Are you trying to imply those stories are not true?!

Whatever !

No he shouldn't. Wtf are you smoking?

@LexLas:

My lats I am still trying to improve but there not too bad. Not close to bruce lee with his massive wings. But wow 70 thats alot. I don't think i I will ever be able to do that much non-stop.

Lee had a very specific and regimented diet. He also spent a lot of time doing cardio, and as far as I know, didn't lift all that much. His build came from his martial arts training and highly controlled exercise and eating regimens.

Yup, 100% bullshit.

No it f***ing sucks.

I didn't ask you any questions.

Sorry sir if I didn't articulate that correctly and I'm always amazed at how easy it is for people like you to name call over the internet.:)

Dat shameless self promotion

hes pretty short, its not unreasonable. Squats are just as easily cheated, if not more so. Deadlifts you cant really cheat... but in the interest of not slipping a disc or tearing a bicep i always go light ;)

Much like deads, I don't know about squats being cheat-able. Either you get in the hole (hip hinge below knee) and get back out or you don't.

On the bench though, 250 isn't unreasonable when you're that sort (5'5" if I recall). I wrestled with a kid in HS who wrestled at 130 as a senior and he was pressing that or above.

Lol, being 5'7" and 138 lbs with 6% body fat and actually owning my own bench set, I find this unbelievable.

I hit the bench constantly throughout the day. My max is 190, and my body only has muscle to make up to that 138. If your max really is 250 then you must seriously have twigs for legs...

Also, your max will change based on if you're talking about incline, normal, and decline. If your max is 250 at normal, then what are your max's for incline and decline? Are we talking about wide grip or narrow?

And I also do ALOT of cardio. I run marathons and spend about an hour on a treadmill 2-4 times a week. Also exercise other parts of my body (Leg day, ab day, chest, back, shoulders). So I spend alot of time training, and have alot of gym buddies to train with. I know a thing or two about weightlifting, and it's easy to spot the trolls

And yeah, bruce lee may have a very high max. But also he spend ALOT of time training. I dunno how old you are, but I doubt you're old enough to even do the amount of training it takes to get up that high by now. Also, if you spent that much time lifting you shouldn't have to ask if your max is good, you should already know....
