How much can you bench?
I'm talking about flat barbell press here. Also post your height, weight, and age.
Me: Age: 17 Height: 5'4'' Weight: 140 lbs. Max Bench: 145 x 1 |

your question had better structure to it ;-)!
Age: 26 Height: 5'11'' Weight: 195 lbs. Max Bench: 285 * 1 |
Age: 18
Height: 5'7" Weight: +-200 lbs (I've lost some since I came here) Max bench: 340 * 1 last time I tried, which was a while ago when I worked out more than I do now. I've got very short arms, and disproportionately large neck, shoulders, and chest for my size. When flexing my neck muscles, my neck measures in at nearly 19 inches around, with a bicep of about 16 inches. I do a lot of pullups and squats now, but I do not attempt to bp nearly as much for fear of slipping and doing further damage to my shoulder (rotator cuff injury.) |
Since I work out by myself...I don't go too far...I have no one to spot me.
Age: 35 Height: 6.2 Weight: 240 (could stand to lose about 10 but I'm still fit) Max bench: 240 * 8 (3 sets) If I can't do 8 and 3 then I won't go higher...it's a standard I've set for myself. And they have to be done smooth and safe, with a nice press...and a good slow negative rep. Otherwise, I think it's cheating...just explosive power. Also, I usually will continue with series of inclines and reverse inclines after a normal bench. So, I guess I need to get someone to help me try out a true MAX, but I don't know...it's not part of my normal routine. |
i work out by myself in my room, don't go to gym. I only have smaller weights so i hvae no idea how much i can max bench. Other than push ups and pulls up and occasional gardening stuff i don't have much else very heavy to lift either. Anyway, i need to get more weights, but i have 2 * 25 kg dumbells.
anyway enough crapping on... Age: 19 height: 187cm (about 6.1) weight: about 83-85kg (about 185) max bench: 50kg (about 110) * 60 reps over 3 sets (ie about 180 reps all up, although somtimes i am a little fooked during the last set and do less :p ) the reps normally start off slow but i power through the last 30 or so right before my arms literally fail and collapse before me. It can get a little dangerous actually..... as i said, i need more weights. Maybe santa will get me some for christmas :D edit: i was never good at spelling, eep! |
