Hi guys, I have something I would like to get comments/input please.
I was training in my gym the other day with my nephew Paul. He is 30 about 6 foot 3 inches tall, around 95 kilos and works in a maintenance crew falling trees. He is the climber whereby he climbs to the tops of the trees trimming and cutting branches, a physically demanding job. He doesnt do any sport or training. I was showing him how to benchpress and I was interested how much he could lift. We started of on 80 kilos for a double, then 100, 110, 120 and finally he maxed out at 135 for 2 reps. I was pretty impressed as he is a beginner and all lifts were done with a pause on the chest. I am wondering if anyone else has had similar experiences? Is he naturally strong or has his job given him his strength? Comments please.
