there are a few lads that lift a good bit of weight in our gym but they are BIG lads, a lot more body weight than me lol.
well done if its just down to pure strength.
The reason it surprises me is that in the gym i use there are very few people who can press 100kg for reps, literally only 4/5 that i know of. On the smith though, i see people with 2 plates a side a bit more often but in reality - depending on smith machine - its only maybe 90-95kg give or take a bit.
