@jamesalex just appreciated that you are focusing on body building as opposed to just weight training. In my mid twenties I was benching 150 kg at circa 85 kg, which I could do strength wise, but my wrists were not conditioned so would hurt, I also developed piles due to the straining, so now I max at 100 kg, and train at 50 kg slow and under tension. Your stats are good for your weight.
If you get the opportunity have a watch of "The Perfect Physique" it's on Netflix. In case you don't know about this documentary it is about 10 competitors who are a modern slimmer build equivalent of the Arnie type body builder - the link is that one of these guys is Type 1 diabetic (Jason Poston, diagnosed at 30 mmol, wow), he low carbs high fats. Interesting discussions on carb cycling, fasted cardio, time under tension, healthy fats, supplements, cheat meals etc.
Fantastic! I will watch it. Netflix has some greats on there...Pumping Iron, Generation Iron, CT Fletcher documentaries...I'm not going for a hulking mass monster look by any means...I'm a mesomorph type leaning slightly to the ecto side.....getting "big" would be a futile and damaging journey for sure!
