I remember in highschool I had the 2nd strongest 1 push bench at 255lbs at 17. Which my chest is pretty damn weak for my size. But people would do those "Bench press 20lbs 10 times" and get those 350lb club shirts. I always laughed at them.

Now I could Squat super heavy weights and had crazy back strength. Even as a freshman no senior football player could match my pull downs. 3 of them went to college ball and one of them went pro.

Congrats on the heavy lifting though. But you need more than 5 reps. 8-10 is what you really need. 12-15 if you are more fitness oriented than strength training.
