Thought I would show you all a picture of my Dad from about 55 years ago. He is 5ft 9" and weighed 12st at his best with 17.5 inch arms (not sure what they are in this picture though). His best bench press was 325lb for one rep in competition and 330 in the gym. They used to train in an abandoned school with smashed windows and they had to walk 3 mile their and back to train. Between them they managed to make all the benches and stuff as gym equipment was sparse those days.
