Well if you call that shitty, I don't wanna know what you'll think of mine...

All I have to say is, if all of these numbers are true and you have squats and deads to match, then holy FUCK we have some strong bitches here and I have more work to do.

There's no correlation.

My wrists are around 8.5" - 825 shirted in the gym, a half-dozen over 7 in meets, 525 raw.

I've trained with a MONSTER bencher, several over 900 in meets, seen 1050 in the gym, over 600 in the gym raw... and he's got teeny-tiny baby wrists, I'd guess barely 6"... I have no idea how his tiny joints handle that weight.

He is the best wrist wrapper Ive been around....not only tight but placement.
