One of my friends is 5'8 185 lbs and can max out 325 on the bench press. Another friend of mine is 6'3 220 lbs and can put up 260 on the bench press. My first friend has been working out a few years more than the 2nd but reached his goal of 315 faster than it's taking my 2nd friend. My 2nd friend got his size Way faster than my 1st friend however. Would this be a good case for Relative size and strength being different for people? Both of my friends are all natural and eat pretty much the same kinds of food by the way.

Some of the strongest guys I know are definitely not the kind that "look" strong. I've long since given up on trying to keep up with the "appropriate" weight for my size and just focus on lifting more from year to year. Too true.
