Back in the early days, as a freshmen in college, I weighed 185 lbs and could bench 300 lbs, once. That was way before I even thought about riding a bike. I'll also say that I probably had the endurance of a fat sloth. I was very strong for my size, but I seriously douobt I could have jogged a mile without being way too winded. Fast forward about 7 years, and I weigh about 12 lbs less, have no idea how much I could bench, as I haven't lifted weights in over 5 years, but can jog 5 miles, and regularly bike 40.

I would guess that I would be luck to bench my own weight. I would tell anyone that I'm much healthier now, but I do feel like I've traded strength for endurance.
