yes lying under a 160kg bench certainly clears the mind of what ever type of day I have had, especially days on the market like this.
But also been around training long enough to know it is more important to be concerned about the way you are working the muscles than the weight being lifted. And regardless what you lift there will always be some one lifting heavier.
A mate in the gym who is 15kg ligher than me is only starting to get going on a 160kg bench.
I now weight train intensly 3 days per week and the training is just something I enjoy and find it a great way to relieve stress and clear the mind. The amount of weight I lift and gains I make are secondary to this though I am considering going back into competion
As for AFL players and bench press records
WCE - Ashley McIntosh and Fraser Gehrig hold the joint record of 162kg which I beleive still stands
