i can do all but 1 [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]. I can bench like 135, asking me to do 300 is pretty outrageous. i think i can still touch rim, but i def couldnt dunk.

i rarely ever bench press and had to stop for 18 months after dislocating shoulder and tearing my acl(clavicular, not cruciate) and 2 other ligaments. id say im about 85% healed now, but healed != strong.
