Building Upper Body Strength and the Goal of Benching 225 Pounds

In this chapter, the hosts discuss the challenges of building upper body strength and the goal of benching 225 pounds. They acknowledge that benching 155 pounds is already impressive and few women can bench two plates at that body weight. They mention that achieving such a high weight would require dedicated powerlifting style training, but caution against potential sacrifices to joint health. They suggest the possibility of participating in a powerlifting meet where they believe the listener would excel. They also briefly mention the use of creatine and end the chapter by praising the listener's progress and strength.
