How much can you bench press??

Your 225 was a lot better than your 3 plates. I think when benching 315x12 I could get 225x30.

Yeah, it was legit. I had just graduated from college a few months prior, and Vernon Gholston and Jake Long had just repped 225x37 in the NFL Combine. Wanted to see if I could beat the strongest guys my age heading to the NFL. I could, but I only made to it Div 3 for football. So they're making a little more $ than me :o
 
my bench is my weakest lift. best was 275 for 3. Now 250 max

by comparison I could squat 385 x 5 and d-lift 405 x 3. My problem is I seldom train with a partener.
 
Just did 295lbs for 5reps this wednesday Im guessing my max would be in the 350 range for 1rep
stats- 255lbs, 6ft 3in 28yrs old
 
1st set: 225 for 32
2nd set: 225 for 25
3rd set: 365 for 7
4th set: 315 for 8
5th set: 225 for 12

all with a torn infrspinatus, severed labrum, and 8 calcium deposits the size of peas, (or my balls)lol, lodged in the head of my humerous. Doc wanted to get me off all my own shit and reconstruct the right wing and i told him to go eat pickles dick! I'll keep hittin the cortisone and deal with the pain.

stats??thats a whole lot of weight
 
Thanks bro. Its kinda funny, i've obviously got decent muscular endurance in that given weight range, and it took a long time to hit those numbers, but if i tried to slap on an ounce over 365, my right wing would be on the floor. At least i know my limits, i guess?
 
325x1, 295x6
want 350 by end of march ,prognosis bad

Sup bro,

Cortisone= bad for mucsles.

It's a bandaid until you man up and get it fixed right, you are also making the problem worst by using it regularly.
Check out prolotherapy, or let the doctor fix it...if it's not to late.

Good luck

ey' chief, it may take you some time to realize it, but this site is a forum in which the members all have and show respect for one another. I think that thru a dual baseball/football career that i may probably understand the potential catabolic effects of to much cortisone on the human body. And before you attempt to be a computer tough guy and tell me i need to "man-up", i think you need to grow up. Know who you are dealing with before you make a statement that makes you look like an idiot. Maybe while your at it you could give me some advice on trt/hrt. I'd love to be emblazened with your great wealth of knowledge!
