How much can you bench press??

[THE-DET-OAK]

im def guilty of tiring out, actually been working on that.

 

[barrysanders]

I wanted to put something in this thread so this is what I did today....

Flat Bench: 385lbs (smith machine-had no spotter).
Incline: 295lbs
Decline: 385lbs raw (not a smith machine-no spotter)
Dumb bells flat and incline: my gym only has 130lbs DB and I can throw those up 4-6 times without a spotter.

330lbs 10 times is my max.. i think that equate to 430 or something.. but i weigh 255lbs. so its not that impressive

Impressive by my fucking standards!

315 x 1. I weigh 230lbs.

Edit:

And whoever said Squats aren't the king of leg exercises is very ill-informed. They're not just the king of leg exercises, but of all exercises. My bench just won't go up if I don't have a strong core, which I can attribute to my squat.

Not saying you don't have beast legs, but remember, body building is a combination of genetics, training, nutrition, and rest.

Genetics probably playing the most important role of them all.

i guess im late to the party....
3plates on the smith for reps, about 320-325lbs (3x10 approx), im on my first cycle right now, so its been getting easier as of late, im looking at maybe 365lbs for reps by mid cycle, especially when i add the Anavar (var) to the test.....
1rm i have no idea as i dont train for strength or big lifts, just as the size comes so does the strength, kinda opposite alot of guys strength leads to size methodology.
oh, 5'8 217 approx.

*i can do the same on incline, iv done incline 85% of the tim eover flat so im more comfortable

320 at 175lbs. 1rm

 

[gkixxerr]

305 last time I maxed.

You look like a beast if that is you in the picture. Maybe you accidently hit the 3 instead of the 4, or hell, even 5.

we have 150's... Love it.

 

[gkixxerr]

265 for 11. No smith machine. Full Rep. No juice. 193lbs at 11% body fat.

 

[drew06636]

5 feet 9 198lbs 320x2 15% bf but that was my 5th set working down from 10. I dont like to max out because it kind of kills the rest of my work out, and at 198 i should be doing sets of 320 not maxing that but thats my opinion.

 

[Damianz119]

I think some of you are lying but I think some of you are not. Bench pressing is my favorite exercise to do.

You should start doin it then. That chest looks like a wet blanket.

 

[steroidsrus]

800 raw: no shirt, no wraps, no belt.
225 for 150 reps.
usually warm-up with 585 for 30 reps on a normal chest workout.
NFL erased my record at combine due to being suspected of using steroids. I'm all natural.

Dead Serious!

 

[eldoka]

all natural best at 186 was 365
Currently on cutting cycle at 174 hitting 375 6 weeks into cycle..

Powerlifting for 5 years..

 

[Pinnacle@Rep]

cooool.

body weight?

right now 315 for 2-4 reps depending on time of day and intake of food.
On cycle 315 for 10-12 reps.

 

[joei rock]

i have never maxed... only been weight training for about 5.5 months now ..

right now get on bench and do 5x5 @ 265 ... which is a monster improvement from 5 months ago when i started doing @185...

 

[o3clipsegts]

300x5 is what i put up last week. havent did a 1rm in a while

 

[SouthernCross28]

Think we should keep this post going as its quite interesting.

Max bench 253 x 4-6 @ bodyweight of 220, on cycle ( pretty pissy i know but got a crap shoulder, lol )


Off cycle 225 x 4-6 @ bodyweight of 200

 

[shockandawelifter]

275 x 1 at 195, i dont bench much

 

[Juicer2222]

most I put up on flat was 365. On incline I did 315x5.

 

[madenj]

Does it really matter? everybody is different? It's like racing worked honda civics against pro formula one. The playin fields are just not level. I bench as much as I can, there how's that?

 

[cyto33]

matters to me.

if you got hot pussy watching you and you lift 350 i better lift 400 so to call the attention my way.

thats called pussy brain.

i dont really give a shit what i lift. i was lifting 405. not a hope in hell i can do that right now. 2 plates and perfect bar bending form is working a hell of a lot better for me.
fuck pain.
