"....Guys with cords of muscle benching 600 lbs. I think of them whenever some liberal bliss ninny starts talking about how you should just learn martial arts to defend yourself. Hah! These guys have pecs that look like rump roasts off of a freaking cow."

Would you rather have a Freedom Arms .475 Linebaugh loaded with one round, or a Glock 17 with 18 rounds of 9mm on tap ?

Strength and size is a handicap unless you are trained to use it to your advantage. You have to strike a happy medium between size, speed, and agility for your build. Ever watch a bodybuilder try to throw a punch ?

BTW, I used to bench 450 lbs back when I played football. Not that it helped one bit. It's an exercise more in vanity than serving any practical use.
