How much can you bench?

[dynomite]

I maxed out on one rep the other day for the first time in years. I was surprised at how much i could actually do.
I weight 190 and i benched 295. i am sure i could do 300 if i tried again since i know what i can do and would not have to work my way up.

so how much can everyone else do? and include weight too so i can learn what is good for certain wait classes.

ps: i know this is a sophmoric post but i dont care. (sh1t smily is not working)

 

[rpen22]

Not enough. :frustrate

Not as much as I want to 365 @ 205, but I squat over 600- my lower body and core is much stronger than my upper.... :good:

 

[PumpingIron]

previously i've done 405 and I think 425...but that was about a year ago

 

[3PeteNC]

375 @ 205, just hurt my shoulder and i was about to max out again, ****ing rotator cuff

 

[bLacKjAck.]

lmao that is great stuff. ahhahahaha.

I love making fun of the emos.

My bench is no longer at 250. i went downhill big time. Im restarting my lifting. lol

 

[pistonpump]

well im not going to say anything because you smaller guys lift alot more than i do.

 

[rocksolid84]

Well compared to you guys im on the low side

i max at 230 @ 125 bodyweight

 

[3PeteNC]

Well compared to you guys im on the low side

i max at 230 @ 125 bodyweight

thats a pretty damn good bench for such a low bodyweight, do you powerlift bro?

 

[CryingEmo]

[Zombie]

lol @ CryingEmo :lol:

 

[rocksolid84]

haha to sound like retard, i dont really know the difference, like i just stick to low rep, high weight, and such, but thanks for the kind words, i appreciate it bro

 

[moklepaul]

[3PeteNC]

haha to sound like retard, i dont really know the difference, like i just stick to low rep, high weight, and such, but thanks for the kind words, i appreciate it bro

i gotcha, i was gonna ask if you compete, but i guess that answers my question haha

 

[cmp007]

been lifting for 2 years. 315@180lbs. But in the 2 years im had a broken spine(8 months out of lifting and had to start over) broken hand (2 months out of lifting), and now torn ligament in wrist (so far 5 weeks out). Everytime I get somewhere i get crippled and ave to start over lol. But I rarely do high weight low reps.

 

[djl]

After my partial RC tear, I'm benching 70 pounds.

Yeah, buddieieieieie, light weight!!!!!!

Sigh.

 

[Skyblue]

weight 148

2X245

 

[ITHURTZ]

345x1 @230lbs

Its really pathetic.


6' 2"

There I edited height in mine

 

[MrTotality]

at 220lbs around 350 but have gone over 400 10 YEARS AGO

 

[pistonpump]

345x1 @230lbs

Its really pathetic.

yeah....you make me feel soooo much better!




ass

 

[mfbb]

havent maxed in a while....but I think my most impressive was 365 @ about 195

but now at 220+ i rep 315 x7-10 on a good day and have inclined with 130s for reps

i guess my max is about 395-405 but I dont really see a point in trying to hit that anytime soon...i wanna be able to rep that sh1t

 

[Jon629]

If this thread continues I say everyone should post their height to make us taller guys feel better. Haha!

 

[Thrall]

I don't powerlift at all, but I can do 215x8 reps. Can I calculate a max from that? Probably not. I weigh 182 pounds at the moment.

 

[ITHURTZ]

Your quoted 1 rep max would be 267x1

 

[Sunder]

Been several years since I've done flat bench. All I've been doing since is incline.
incline: 225lbs x 12 reps @ 200lbs

Just weighed myself today, and I'm down to 191lbs. I can still lift 225 incline for reps (but I don't touch my chest anymore - afraid for shoulders at that weight).

Never attempted a max with inclines.

Best I ever did flat was 365lbs x 1 @ 210lbs

 

[Thrall]

Your quoted 1 rep max would be 267x1

Thanks. I would have guessed about 260. How did you figure that out?

 

[ITHURTZ]

bb.com 1 rep max calculator

 

[sweet-physique]

I last 1 rep maxed in March. I did 425 but I was on and at ~250lbs which I think sucks!

BTW I'm 6'2"

Do us older guys get any slack for age?

 

[CryingEmo]

Height: 6'6

Bench: Sucky

Deadlift: Good

 

[ITHURTZ]

No the younger guys get slack because we havent been around that much. Your 15 years ahead, so you should be 15times the strength!

 

[hman85]

I got 315 almost twice@178

 

[Iron Warrior]

Height: 6-0 if you round off the 3/4 of an inch
Weight: 255
Bench: 405 x 3. I did 425 but I weighed 290 when I did that. I did this 6-8 months ago but I stick with dumbell presses since I get better workouts with that.

However, max bench is not the best indicator of a big & ripped chest. This dude hits 90 pound dumbells incline, 110 flat and his pecs make me jealous.

 

[hman85]

Yeah for good shape in the pecs its not about weight

 

[Iron Warrior]

Exactly, it's quality that counts, not quantity

 

[ITHURTZ]

Ya but when you have both, your just that much better:dance:

 

[hman85]

Ya but when you have both, your just that much better:dance:

as long as you have proper form

 

[Iron Warrior]

Ya but when you have both, your just that much better:dance:

Definitely. I just don't want to see people completely focusing on strength. When this is the focus then TUT and proper techniques are thrown out the window. This usually happens with newbies who want to impress everyone and their momma at the gym . . . I was one of those guys when I was 17-20

 

[Jim Mills]

In my last dream, I benched a little over 500lbs.... But that didn't count..... It was only a dream! :fool2:

 

[fatsuperman]

We might as well be asking everyone what their penis size is. Only the gifted, or wild exaggerators are gonna post on this one.

LOL, when someone says they have a 12 incher, I'm gonna assume they mean 12 centimeters

I posted honestly. I take your post to mean that you are ashamed of your bench press weight. Oh well. I won't hold it against you.:thumbsup:

 

[Distilled Water]

Last time I maxed flat bench was winter of 05' and that was 385 @ 190~195ish lbs,I dont really remember. I havent maxed since then or done much with barbells, alot of DB.

Spring 07' on incline bench I did 365 for 1 rep @ 181lbs
