bors, How many times can you bench 225?

[WalkingBeast]

best Ive done is 16 when I was 185. I havent tried it in over a year though

Ive had more then a few years experience with weighing 185! haha My measurements and strength have increased drastically even at this bodyweight and BF% seems around the same its always been, so Im not sure why that is. If I could maintain 6000 calories a day and 400 grams of protein Im sure Id grow faster, but thats not in my budget and human flesh is scarce where I live.

Seriously, the most I can recall doing was 17-18...that was usually on the downside of a chest workout after going up to 315.

I weigh around 217 - 223. Can bench press 225 28 times. Touch and go, no pause.

 

[SuperShredder]

i did 2 reps with 225, at the time i weighed 135.

 

[biteme]

27 reps last year with 225. Since I tore my pec muscle, I will probably never bench with free weight again, except maybe dumbbells.

Don't know. Don't flat bench. Let me know when ya get to 315 incline for 5-6. That's where I'm at.

How about 485 on incline for 5............will that suffice?????

My roomate in college did 72 reps at 225 on squats. They have his name up on a plaque at the gym there.

Fuck a plaque they should have named the gym after him........

72 reps at any weight on squats is amazing........I'd be willing to bet 90% of this board couldn't squat parallel with the bar for 72 reps......
