I had a source for this, but the webpage is now dead.

Ever consider rotator cuff weakness and/or tricep weakness? I guarantee a 4-6wk focus on either one of those and you'll get those 20lbs easy!

Chuck Norris is the gold standard for strength and toughness. Its because he was being fed rancid protein powder even before he was an embryo. Thats because chuck Norris' state of being is infinite, and he has infinitely supplemented with rancid protein powder.

well the question was strong... not who is stronger , or what elite is

if you press more than 315 you are strong.. maybe not next to members of this board but somebody benching 330 is still strong

deadlift 400

squat 400-450
