Here’s a list of the top safeties in the country being recruited in the incoming class, some have bench and squat stats, some don’t. Hope this helps.

For example, if a person uses 100 pounds for their bicep curl, what would a typical weight be for their bench press?
I know it will vary between people and over time, but I’m just looking for a ballpark ratio. Feel free to just use yourself as an example and tell me how much you personally curl and bench press.
Thanks!
The ratio is pretty big…100 pound bicep curls are probably nonexistent. It is somewhere around 300 pounds on the bench press to 50 pound curls. In other words, a 6:1 ratio. The reason for this is that the bench press works primarily on your CHEST, while also utilizing your biceps, triceps, and back muscles to a lesser degree. Bicep curls work almost exclusively on the biceps.

The Sleeve tattoos are becoming increasingly popular amongst men these days and is probably due to the increasing number of celebrity males getting this sort of ink done. A sleeve tattoo can be described as a tattoo which wraps around the upper part of the arm from shoulder to elbow. This is some times referred to as a half-sleeve tattoo while a tattoo which wraps around the arm and extends all the way down to the wrist is known as a full sleeve tattoo. If the tattoo starts from the elbow area to the wrist then this is called a quarter sleeve tattoo.
These types of tattoos mean you are making a bold statement due to there size and complexity. This means you will need to have a through consultation with a tattoo artist you know has a good reputation for going this type of tattoo. This is not a small girly tattoo to get.
It is essential find out the time and cost for a sleeve tattoo. The time taken will depend on the complexity of the design. The longer it takes will of course mean more cost to you. You must discuss this with your tattoo artist. A typical sleeve tattoo is done over a number of sessions which last about two hours. A full sleeve design are done over multiple sessions and may involve over twenty hours of work.
Popular sleeve tattoo designs include -
- Tribal Tattoo Sleeve – These look fantastic from a distance due to their bold dark lines.
- Flame Tattoo Sleeve – The most extravagant of flames start from the wrist area then up along the forearm over the shoulder and down one half of the body.
- Japanese Designs – The Japanese are known for their detailed designs and have deep symbolic meanings. At the same time they are exceptionally beautiful. They make an excellent choice for a full sleeve tattoo.
- Celtic Sleeve Tattoos – The intricate knot work of Celtic designs often make a great design. They usually have a load of detail in the interweaving lines.
Please remember that you should not ever get a tattoo because you spotted your favourite celebrity with a sleeve design you thought was great. You should instead find a design that appeals to you by doing you own research. It should have a powerful and symbolic meaning to yourself only.
