Loser
 
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 )

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

edit: i was never good at spelling, eep!

I haven't done a regular bench in over a year, and I was using less weight on the bar then than I am now with the dumbbells.
