OP if you can bench your body weight, that's good. Of course the only people on here who would respond to this thread can bench impressive amounts. Not a good sample

"Back in '02, I used to be able to throw a pigskin a quarter mile." I do the same bench workout every Friday and it suits me well. Rep 5-5-3-3-1-1. I start with 225 and add 20 lbs each set (i.e., 225x5, 245x5, 265x3, etc.). After that I grab 3 elastic bands and put them on the ends of the bar going under the bench. I put 225 on and bench that until failure with a spot. Last I grab two 5lbs plates and squish them together with my palms starting from my chest and push out. 3 sets of 10. Then I go home. Phenomenal workout for those chest gainzzzzz

This might be philosophical but wanted to understand if we should get satisfied and be happy with what we have or keep striving for more?

Reason I am asking this is - I earn close to 1.5 lakhs every month and if someone had told me this during my college days I would have taken it eyes closed thinking this is more than enough. But today, I am not able to be satisfied and I don't want this to become an affliction so thought to share with others here and get to know the general sentiments.
