definetly...your total body weight really has no significance on your 1 repetition maximum. increasing strength is all about training and dedication. benching 2x the total bodyweight really isn't that difficult for a person that is dedicated to the sport. you need to look into some bench routines like MM2K or check out power lifting websites like Metal Militia or Westside Barbell. a good read would be any book on Periodization by Tudor Bompa
