Who can bench twice their bodyweight?

[tman55]

and are you on or off cycle? What are your chest routines? What are your stats?

I can't and never have been able to on or off cycle. Bench 325 and weigh 170 currently.

I cant and I dont think I ever will. I am 6"4 254lbs 18years old and I barly reach my own weight. I bench 255max and when I gain weight ill be like 275lbs so I dont think its possible for me to bench 2x my weight ever. And I am not on juice yet.

 

[tman55]

I think sometimes smaller bro's like myself have a much easier time attaining that goal. it is a goal I want to acheive.

Good luck on your progress.

 

[josh81]

I'm aiming for 1.5x for now. I can already rep my weight in large sets.

 

[tman55]

how much do you weigh? How long have you been lifting?

 

[josh81]

lifting since the new year, but have done strength training in the past from boxing and football, but not stictly with weights.

I weigh about 192 lbs

 

[tman55]

Shit I bet you will get stronger really fast if you stick with it.

 

[josh81]

Thanks bro, I hope so.

I weigh 270 now so..umm..NOPE! I'm not real strong on benching considering my size. Have pretty long arms so I don't think I will ever hit the really huge numbers.

Im 203lbs (yes 203) and I bench 405lbs for 1. My goal is 4 reps at 205. A bit bigger, and leaner.

When I was a less lean 225lbs, I was able to bench 405lbs 3 times.

 

[Golden_Muscle]

Oh, and I took 8 amps of sust 2 years ago so that would make a natural, and im 22 years old, at 5'10.5.

 

[Golden_Muscle]

Oh, and it is always perfect form with no spot.

 

[MotownMuscle]

I can, my best was when I was 20 at a weight of 157 I did 405. This summer I did 405 for 8 reps at 220 pounds.

golden thats why you got big tris from the havy benching. I have hit dbl BW a couple of differnt times. 575 @ 285 or so and 585 @ 290-295. i tried 600 a couple of monthys ago while at 298 and missd it twice. just started a new training cycle so in a couple of months ill max out again. current stats are 6' 300ish. i have a good friend who hit 665 @ 211 and 635 @ 193. both of those are over triple BW. he has the ring to show for it. also all these benches are with a pause (the bar is motionless on the chest and then the press command is given) and no bouncing.

 

[pullinbig]

oh yeah i forgot to mention that the worlld record is 900 even. rychek hit it at about 340lbs.

 

[Bimmer]

pullinbig, those are some amazing numbers

 

[pullinbig]

the key to big numbers is not overtraining. you want to find out what volume you can sustain without over training. it takes a while to find and it also changes. better to start off low volume and build from there if need be.
