I don't even remember. I haven't weight-lifted in well over a decade. However, at the time I was muscular enough and wanted definition over muscle mass. So, instead of trying to max out, I did relatively light weights (my guess is somewhere in the 125-175 lb. regime) for many reps. At the time I could perhaps max out in the low 200s, but my memory for this is utter rubbish.
Now hoisting pint glasses is the closest I'll get to "lifting"...  |

I swam pretty far yesterday -- stopping only occasionally to rest via my big pink floating "noodle."

I've heard of pressing flowers but pressing benches is a new one on me.

It is a well know and non-transmutable fact that Deckchairs are complex geometric structures that take the mental and physical dexterity of Real MenŽ to assemble without loss of digits and dignity. Conversely, benches are fundamentally simplistic and thus designed for girls and men who eat quiche and yogurt.

I was too afraid to be humiliated, so I never tried. But I can carry a piano up 20 floors singlehanded.
