Okay, here is the low down. I have been training for about 3.5 years now, maybe a little more. About 2.5years seriously and I eat VERY VERY well, especially for a college student. (Yeah everyone is like wtf are you eating and why all the time) Right now I am 6'3" 233 at about 13ish% b/f (see top 4 abs well and next two faintly) and 20 y/o. My roommate, he is 21 and like 5'8" 158 pounds and he out benches me!
I doesnt sound like a huge deal, but it pissed me off cause he will rep about 10-15 pounds more than me on flat barbell bench presses. Also the same for incline or decline barbell. Now if we use dumbells, I am doing dumbells that are 10-15 pounds heaver EACH. Its just so weird, and everything lifting comes up around our friends it always gets thrown in that he "kills" me on bench day. Well thats the only exercise he really uses more weight for is a barbell press so whatever. I try and leave me ego at the door, and I never have the heart to tell the people (that my roommate says that too) that I deadlift over 200 pounds more than he does for reps, and parallel squat 150+ more than he does for reps.
All this has just got me determined to bring my chest up! In the last month I have put 20 pounds on my bench for equal reps of what i was doing before.
I guess my rant is over!
