Ida, your height is actually an advantage when it comes to the bench press as you have a shorter plane to travel than taller guys. If you keep at it and eat properly, your numbers should shoot up through the roof. The bench has always been one of my weaker lifts as I have such a long way to go from the bottom to the top of the lift. At one point I was up to 245x3 for sets, but I'd say that right now that number is probably a bit lower b/c I took some time off this spring.

Damn D, we're pretty equal in terms of size. I'm 6-2 and currently weigh 205.
