Answer 1

“Increase bench press by 20 pounds in 6 months by following a specific strength training program and lifting weights 3 times a week.”

Reason: It is Specific (increase bench press by 20 lb), Measurable (20 lb), Achievable (realistic plan and frequency), Relevant (strength goal), and Time-bound (6 months). Other options are vague (e.g., “significantly stronger,” no deadline, or no measurable target).
