True story, I actually reached into the sink and felt the tip of a kitchen knife, immediately pulled back without so much as a drop of blood. Those reflexes are ninja level. 🙂
Pfft, trying raising a half chihuahua half pug.

Bench press max? 225lbs with 8 reps. Did it yesterday as part of my workout, actually.I could still do a bit more weight I'm sure, but my joints would hurt more than I like.
Thats almost exactly the same as me.
Not only very similar weight and reps, but same as you find it difficult to go any higher due to joints (even though technically with that many reps should be able to go a fair bit heavier).

I’d have to try as it’s been a long time since I went to the gym. Stupid fu cking lockdown.
Do pushups.
In June, I gave myself a 30day challenge of 200 pushup a day, no exceptions. Tired, sick, lazy, didn't matter, I did them.
Did 5 sets of 40 pushups every day for 30 days straight. Going to do it again for August.

It's the weakest link, your muscles and bones can handle more weight, but the joints go "oh, yeah?" Only gets worse as you get older.
