I have to agree with 0311 on this one. Hard work is essential for sustained growth and performance, but good genetics are definitely beneficial. I can also bench 405 at 240 lbs now but at 16 would not have even attempted so much. I worked extremely hard for a number of years to improve, but I would say the teenager doing that much weight that soon has better genetics than I have.

I would however also say that I have more knowledge and experience which, while hard earned, has served me well. I do not think anyone here saying that bench was not great work, but would have been nice to be able to do at that age

Congrats Forsure and Patsfan keep it up
