"Where did you start, Neo? How long did it take to progress to 295 and 405?"
I started out benching 135 lbs when I was 14 yrs old and didn't reach 295 lbs until I turned 23 yrs old. I didn't start deadlifting until I was in my early 20s. I began at 225 lbs and worked my way up to 455 lbs. After my hernia surgery, my strength went down.
