because everyone asks me that question. even my mom and dad. my mom said no one in the family is that big, she doesnt grasp that eating all day+lifting will equal size. i was stating that there is a big difference in tested vs. non-tested meets. even though i can bench 700lbs, that is nothing in a world meet for my weight class. at last years wabdl worlds, the lowest bench in the 275. lb class was a 830lbs. i will never ever ever bench that.
