My question is: John injures his shoulder while lifting weights. After the injury, his bench press goes down 80%. After a bit of training, he manages to triple the weight he can bench. If he started with a 500-pound bench press, what is it now? Your thoughts:
He lost 500 * .8 = 400 pounds from his bench. So his bench went to 500 - 400 = 100 pounds. After training it increased to 100 * 3 = 300 pounds. The final answer: 300.
