so who has it? you gotta do 6 reps...
i know it aint me, a weak 55kg. DangerMcDougall and Darren Southwell are up there. and dont underestimate robw.
i struggle to do 100 pounds. (350 kg)
I had 60kg during the time after my 2nd ankle op when i couldnt run, jeez i was ripped...;)
you're worthy of any beach in AUS robw!
I've always felt more at home in the waves actually...
my dad! for sure... not much of an orienteer but he can bench the house down. i'll ask him when i get the chance.

last year Daz and I spent a bit of time in the gym. I think he cracked 75 or 80. I could only manage six of 55.
Since the heavy hitters have not declared I'll put in my best set of 60kg, done many many years ago
I can't remember having done a bench press, but suspect I'd do well to get the bar up without any weights on the end.
Sounds like you need some 'nasal spray technology' with that problem Blair.
Dawayne doesnt do bench press, the way the bar goes straight up and down is too much like a dog leg!
sounds like daz southwell may have it for the time being....if his effort can be confirmed.
ive cracked 70 kg but have 80 in my sights.
i think i'll start a regular gym-o score event series. with a map of the inside of the gym, the aim will be to find each piece of equipment and get points for how high you can go. just like a score event there will be a time limit and the trick will be to choose which controls (exercises) you will score highest on. route choice should avoid the juice-junkies and no-neckers. maybe we could add various distances/inclines on the treadmill between controls.
any takers for next cockies training?
Gee - I was gonna keep my mouth shut coz I thought I was so puny, but I used to knock out 80kg pretty regularly back in my early uni days (about 1996-7 unfortunately)
but then I'm not sure I really count as an orienteer at the moment... I did one weekend thi season and it's the first time since 1983 that I haven't been a member...
confirmed with my dad- he can actually orienteer. previously 11th (almost top ten) at aus champs m21E. reckons 130 easy
I used to do 65kg, just before I broke Wazza?s arm in the arm wrestle. That was in June 1994?
130! your old man is a f*cken meat axe morty!
20kg (bar) + 2x5kg = gives me the grand total of 30.00kg.
Rock-climbers don't count morty. btw, your dad came 13th, not and 11th, and you omitted to mention his 71st 2 years earlier!
I was doing 60kg about the time of wazza's spiral fracture, after which grant & i gave up going to the gym.
I see your 30.00kg Troy and vaguely recall doing 35kg or 38kg some eons ago.
morty if your dad can bench 130 then whats happened to you? must have been a recessive gene hey?
Forget the bench press. The true mark of glory is how many one armed pull ups you can manage. My count... 0. I have seen seven by a climber.
