So, how much ya bench?

[3.4 [deployed]]

Like the old SNL skit, only you must have developed legs ;)

This'll keep Ian's thread from being hijacked too much, hopefully

The most I maxed was 205 back in 87/88 in HS, I weighed 135 at the time.

next........

[wannabe]

I weigh 140, have maxed out at 175. I know, I'm a skinny, weak little biatch. :D I'm workin' on it!

i was 185-190lbs maxing at 335 last year.

Now, i am 160lbs maxing at 185. but i just started lifting again so im optimstic that ill be back to my old self again in a couple months.

[SirShaun]

Couldnt tell you now havnt been in weight room in a long *** time used to be 285.

I still do **** pushups tho. I highly reccomend **** pushups.

I'm in High School now, a senior n I play football, I weigh about 240 n I maxed out at 340. I did 230 17 times. ohh I play Center.

[Brett Garret]

Wow, well I'm 150 and I maxed at about 185. My chest is my weak spot. :(

[WickEdSix9838]

im 175lbs and i did a new best of 265 on thursday night....

[Naswhodi17]

i weigh about 155lbs and currently max 220lbs... can't wait til i can get two plates (225lbs), shouldnt be too long, but i dont go up very fast on bench, legs are my stronger area...

[FloydSummerOf68]

I'm 160 and do 225 on incline. Haven't maxed flat bench but I can get 2-3 with 225...so probably like 245 max on flat.

[Merlin]

Im 165lb, and my max of 2 reps are:
225 flat
205 inclined
235 declined

This talk is meaningless anyway because I have seen dudes benching a lot more just cause they don't know what the heck they are doing... like dropping the weight and bouncing it off their chest to use the momentum, and lifting their asses off the bench. It's ridiculous.

[piercedan]

300lbs

[95Batmobile]

wow, every member on here is either a body builder or a blatent liar :D

Everyone but 2 people benches over 200lbs!
And those 2 ppl weigh less that most women do!

[Brett Garret]

What can I say, sex burns ALOT of calories. :D

Benching over 200 isnt a difficult thing to obtain...its just a matter of getting good a bench.
Someone can have all the strength in the world but zero form and really suck it up at bench...practice is a big key...getting the right line and such and the right push.

I agree...some people go down about 2 inches and then say they just got a new max.
It's ugly how some people press.
