I've never been able to bench anything close to that...that's a lot of weight. I'm not an "upper body" kinda guy, but then again I'm never done weights seriously. I could never talk myself into it. Only time I spend serious time in the gym was rehabbing my knee as a teen. My exercise has always been particle sports, surfing, bicycles, etc.
I do 30-60 mins. of cardio at the gym before weight lifting. (Treadmill, stairmaster, stationary bike, cross trainer, or a combination.)

I was an uncoordinated nerdy guy in high school/college. I took to weight lifting because it was something I could do by myself without embarrassing myself because of my lack of coordination. To this day, I avoid most organized sports because I'm no good at them. I've tried golf, basketball, softball, tennis, and ultimate frisbee. I look like an epileptic spaz.
