Thread: Body looks flabby but low body fat

Started 2 months ago by hrg217

What some people consider to be a lot, some would consider next to nothing and others would consider impossible. How much can you bench press? Squat? How many wide grip pull ups can you do? Can you bench press 200, squat 300, and do 10 good pull ups?
