bench max

[casey1]

I am 5"9, 160lbs, and 4.9% bodyfat. I maxed out on flat bench yesterday and got up 295lbs. I was wondering if that was as impressive as I thought it was.

lol....first post, came to gloat? bullshit

 

[syko]

umm...i really think you should get ur bodyfat professionally checked...because theres no way u could be 4.5% bodyfat! Ud be so tired every day, sluggish, etc....Pros compete around that or even 5% and they feel like shit all day!

Give the guy a break. we all get excited about progress.

I think 320 would be impressive at your weight. I think 295 is pretty damn good and better than most people on the planet. I wouldn't say it is super impressive, but you are a strong guy for your weight imo.

How many guys on here can bench as close as you are to 2X their bodyweight I wonder? I can do 325 at 170. Close but not there yet.

FWIW, our coaches always LUV'D the guys who could double up their weight on the bench; I'm 280 and I ain't pushing up 560, I'll tell ya that, lol!

I got my fat tested by on of the hand held machines, so who knows how accurate it is. Bodyfat is besides the point, I live in WA and I always hear about bench press competitions at my local gym. I think I would get torn up though.

they have weight classes so you compete against guys you own size. you can hold your own raw, no doubt.

Man, you'd have a good showing for sure. Plus you never know till you try it, especially if train specifically for one. Give it a shot bro.

Hydroelectric impedance machines unfortunately aren't accurate that I've seen yet. I've seen daily fluctuations of 5 percent, either way at your bodyweight its a good lift.
