Why am I so physically weak for my size?

Asked by Drush545 (229points) August 3rd, 2013

I weigh around 300 lbs but my max bench press is only around 275.. My arms are very strong though because I can 2 arm curl around 120lbs. So why is my chest so weak. I am also over 6’2” in the morning time.

You’re shorter in the evening?
Practice practice practice. If you don’t use those muscles they will be weaker. The more you use them the stronger they’ll be.

Bench pressing 275 is weak?

I’d love to be able to bench 275. Conversely, I can curl 120 lbs, and am 5’10” and 170 lbs. We each have unique strengths and weaknesses, but we’re all able to improve on our strengths through continual exercise.

You’re probably not working out your chest as much as you do your arms. Do chest presses to target your pectoral area.
