i weigh 185# and bench it for 26-28 usually. did 225# for 18 on monday. i know...i know what about incline? i suck on incline. i can only incline 225# for about 8. o well
 
I haven't tried with my body weight (285) but I can get 315 for about 18-20. My one rep has got to be close to 500+ , I can get 225 for around 50.
 
WHAT A BUNCH OF UNBELIEVABLE BS!!! Let me recall everybodys memory. In the NFL draft 2 years ago there was this guy from Texas- El Paso whom was drfted by the Bills. He was the STRONGEST guy ever at the combine and he did (I think it was about) 54 reps on 225 at a body weight of 295.

He had also taken a medal in the junior world championship in shoot put so he is a very strong fellow.

(He is also from Norway so we Scandinavians got to stick together)


And by the way I rep my body weight (216) about 18 times, ohh wait a minute is this the INTERNET, I rep 225 for at least 78 times on a bad day.

Sir Pimpalot
 
Hahaha lets see I will answer this one for the super light weights. lol!!! I weigh about 160 and I do my body weight easily 20 times. How is that for a heavy weight.
 
135 x infinity
225 x 50+
255 x 38 (my weight)
315 x 27
oh,did someone mention incline?...let's see
315 x 23
but,don't take my word for it;ask the 40 or so people in the gym that have witnessed these lifts on many occasions. just not all in one training session

most,not all,NFL players are known for their sloppiness of form in the weight room.consequently,that 225x54 is being taken with a large grain of salt by me,for one.
all that said,i do believe that the amount chosen by someone to lift is relative. massive strength is a genetic thing imho

I think that , if you combine max reps with max one rep you will lose a little on both
like if all you do is max weight for 10 sets of 3-5 reps then you one rep max will be high but if you never train with the lighter weight for reps you will suck at it
I'v seen guys that could hit 525 as a 1 rep max and coulden't get 225 for 15 , but I'v also seen guys that could get 225 for like 25 reps and 135 would crush them , it is all in what you train for.

as for the NFL , alot of guys don't even like to talk about it cause then suck at weights , but on the field they'll rip you head off. I'v had the chance to lift with a few pros in my time , I've seen 300+lb linemen that coulden't bench 400lbs for one rep and then I'v seen some running backs and D-backs that hit the 600lb mark and weigh less that 250. Look at Ricky Williams 250 and some change , he benches in the 650 range , and Junior Seau another on the NFLs strongest and under 250.

Their is alot more that goes into being a NFL quality player , other than being strong , Balance , speed , endurance , vision , desire , and talent . I know a few guys that are strong as fuck but have to sit down to tie their shoes or they'll fall over or can't run to the corner let alone 20 40yd sprints.

so next time you hear that some lineman can only bench his body weight 5 times , and you say "what a pussy , I could take him" You had better step back and think again.

OK , I'm finished ranting , sorry guys , I just hate being under estimated.
 
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Are you fucking kidding me.....??????.......this is fucking hilarious......first my weight 267... bodyfat is 7% I am about two months out from a contest I can hit 225 for about 38...have not tried my bodyweight for max reps.......but on the NFL tip.....I have been in three practice camps....and the NFL has some of the weakest people as far as weight room strength goes.....real world strength is a different story....most of those guys will knock you or me on our asses.......but if anyone on this board thinks Ricky Williams can bench 650 LBS. you are fucking high.....and I have some swamp land in Florida you might want to look at.....have any of you stepped out from behind your keyboard to actually go to a gym....and furthemore have any of you ever tried to get under 650 lbs. I seriously doubt it.....I am losing faith in this board....come Iron Bros help me out.......PEACE:confused:
 
Excuse me sir , have you ever seen Ricky Williams other than on camara ?? I diden't think so. I'm not a fan of Ricky or anything in fact , I don't care for him at all , but he is very strong , one of the two strongest guys for the Saints. As for getting out from behind my keyboard and lifting , nevermind.

If their are any bros here that have been in the gym when Ricky was lifting please chime in , I know their are some bros from New Orleans here.
I don't even want to think about laying under 600+lbs , not right now anyway , maybe next year


Don't player hate , Congradulate !!!!
 
My flat bench is haenous.. I'd say I can get up my own bodyweight only about 12-15 times (240)...
I do dumbbells more, I feel them more and I feel better cause I can put up a decent amount with dumbbells...

YUM
 
fuck all this probably and around shit, i mean there is no around 25-30 reps, its 25 or its thirty, this thread is entire bullshit, i've benched my bodyweight, 235 as of now 23 times. Not that great, but at least im honest and have an exact number.
 
JD SLIM

Actually yes I have seen Ricky williams in the gym......hey but maybe that was a bad day......so I said what the hell.....let's call my buddy who is a running back in the NFL.....and knows Ricky personally......I have now been informed....two hours after my last post....that Ricky is stong.....but no where near 650 lbs. strong his one rep max is 415.....end of discussion period!!!!! These A bombs are making me angry....... DRRMAN actually there is an "about" when it come to how many times you can bench 225...soem days I have crazy endurance and can go 36-38 times.....other days only 22-25......depends on the day.....and my diet.......OOOOHHHHHHHHH no more A-Bombs...PEACE
 
What a load of bullshit some of u guys talk lol Im 225 can bench that for about 8-10 reps and thats on a good day lol come on tell the truth.
 
finally... a little honesty. the only reason i can do my weight for so many reps is because i do a lot of high rep exercises. my 1 rep max sucks!!! about 315#
 
I weigh 204.786543lbs and can probably bench it 19.9348 times.heehee!!! Just kidding. To tell you the truth I've never thought about it, much less tried it. I'm too busy thinking of large breasted women, I guess!

carp out........
 
HEY HOUND DOG

That's pretty embarrasing....please don't tell everybody else they are bullshitting...just because you can only bench your bodyweight 8-10 times......Hopefully you are a newbie and are just uninformed......but 225 is my warmup set......I do three of them at 12-14 reps.....and can do 38 in a row.......I weigh 267 lbs...and my bodyfat is 7%.......I'm still waiting for JD SLIM'S response about Ricky Williams........Anadrol...maked Pitbull angry....PEACE
 
Pitbllstl, I ran into these same comments last summer when i posted that I benched 225x37 times....I am now even stronger and have done it 43-47 time ...you kind of loose count after that many....I cannot bench for max worth a shit! I cannot even do 400LBS BUT I CAN REP 225 LIKE A MOTHER FUCKER! All you guys that think we are bullshitting.just because you don't have that abitlity doesn't mean that others don't either.
I have been lifting for 22 years probably longer then most of you have been alive ....how many sets at 225 do you think I have done in 22 years???
225 does not feel light as a feather in my hand ...but when i rep it i do not have to even stop for a second or 2 until I am at around 30...I take a few breaths and grind out another 5 afew breaths and a couple more ....until i decide to put it back ..I do this on my last set of bench after having done 3 other sets
BTW I can squat 500x5 405x20+ 315X30+
It aldepends in your abitlity to drive through the pain
any of you guys live in Washington ???? willing to $200 BUCKS ON IT???? WANNA COME SEE???
I may not get it for my alltime best of 43-47 but I will get within a couple and you will be out $200 !
email me at [email protected] !!!!!
 
I weight 175 and can do 175 for about 14-16 reps. Why would I lie about that accomplishment? Shit, I wish I was lying. that sucks.:bawling:
 
IF someone claims something beleive it! you think they have a goal to impress people, um no. well if they lie to make themselves feel better than who cares. Personally I dont understand why people doubt everyone I have a buddy that when he was weighing 245 he was able to lift close to 500lbs. People have no reason to lie here IMO so beleive them cause just cause you never saw anyone lift that much and you read all your articales on how much NFL players lift doesnt make you someone that knows anything. HATERS that never seen a strong mothaphucker in there lift cant beleive anything that is over what they lift huh? If you find it hard to beleive that someone can lift 500lbs that crazy. Ive seen it with my own two eyes at the gym. STOP HATING!!!!!!!

My ego just took a dive

I just workout earlier and I did 185 for 18 so no, I repeat no Iam not a comic book character, Fuckin shit I will get it 20 by the end of Feb, Oh by the way I am 5'7 so for all you behemoths watch out........:D :D :D
 
Sh** You f***ers are strong. I usually use dumbbells but today I decided to give it a go. I'm 5'5" 180 so i just used 185. Sorry to say, I only got to 16...guess i'm a weak f***.

Oh well, I still have 8 first place finishes in 9 contests
 
165
I weigh 165, i can bench 330 for one rep (with a benchpress shirt 352), so i think i could bench 165 for at least 30-40. But i really havent tried it for a long time, i shall try it next time i do benchpress. I have been competing in benchpress and powerlifting for 4 years. Swedish junior champion 2 times, to brag a little.
 
Can I smell an Elite Bench Off.................Just like Drag Racing Dial In.........If you say you can do your weight 40 times then for every one under costs a $100 bucks(meaning if you only hit 32 that will cost you $800) Pot goes to the winner Most reps At body weight............Any takers .............I am 235.........Did 28
 
I weigh 225 and can do about 25-30 reps if necessary. Bench off? I'm game.........lets shoot for max too! I can push 455 8x....

Arias
 
Let's see 40 reps with body weight ... that means you can curl your body weight about 80 times?

It's really deep in here.

i'm game too.

and arias i don't believe that for 1 second. i work out with a 7% bodyfat beast. he's 5'10" and weighs 215#. and its all upper body. he has puny legs. he only does 455# for 2. and that is staining like hell. lets get real.
 
I felt like a piece of shit reading this post.I am 5ft 9,160 and my pathetic 1 rep max is equal to my bodyweight.Been training natural for 6 months now.I know this post is laughable,but I want people to laugh at me,so that I am motivated to improve.I swear on the fuckin bench,I'll get to where u bros are! Just give me 1 more year...fuckkkkk....feels like crap.
 
This is for all the SUPER lightweights out there. I weigh 145, probably can do more than 20 reps of my measley weight.
I've put up 275 though, not bad for a little guy.:D
 
Lets try a whole comp

Instead of just bench throw in Squats, deads, and Bench and I'm Game

Probably get squats for 30-40 reps
Deads for about 20-25
and bench maybe for 20 in a month

Now that would be fun
 
I heard Ricky Williams was able to bench 225 for 27 reps in the combine. That is pretty strong for a running back. I also think that it equates to about a 400lb bench. you can go to huskerpower.com and check that out for sure.

Do you guys realize how few people walking the planet have ever benched 650 or more? Very very few, and all but about 2 or 3 of those guys were wearing top quality bench press shirts, and were elite powerlifters.

If there are more than 2 guys in the NFL that can bench 650 raw, I will gladly print this page off and eat the paper.
 
I ONLY WEIGH 145

i weigh 145 how about that, yes 145, haha probably the weight of some of your legs. But i can still get up 225 for 18 reps, and slowly increasing
 
Well I'm 5'6 216 and 225 is also warm up for me i haven't tried to see how many i can get I do get 315 for 10 or 12 some days.
 
damn i cant decide who the biggest or should i say smallest bullshiter is on this site everyone must be genitic freaks sike. real deal here weight 250 body fat 12% rep 8-10 times. hey if it make you feel all warm and tingly inside to blow smoke up peoples ass then hey blow it up each others im out.
 
i benched my weight 19 times today, but this was after testing my 1rm. i weigh 155. i hit a 1rm of 260 easy, i tried 270 and so barely missed it. i know i can do 270. hey how's that? i'm so little. don't worry, i'll get bigger and stronger, just give me time. i don't think it's too bad for a 19yo.
 
yes, according to you guys ball room heho oh and the ever so vicious pittbull2 oooooohhhhhh i may be weak. let me guess you guys are about 5'0''right so your range of motion is about as short as you are. sure if i was that short i would bench more. but here is the deal im 6'6'' and have alot more range of motion to go through and if you shitbricks had any clue you would know that their is strength ratio according to ones range of motion. dont get me wrong im sure you all are strong by that i mean your mouth!so stop flappin your yap you bunch of unsavage yeaste boys.
 
Oh joe, yes I am a runt only 5'6 216 and I have my weakness too on other exercises so don't get down to bad bro, I'm just suprised to hear what you said 6'6 250 lbs and only ??? anyway j/k.

No, I'm 6'2 1/2....and I just got some pretty good genes when it comes to strength. I was just joking anyway.
 
Some, well actually a majority of these posts are absolutely ridiculous. That kind of weight for that many reps is insane. I don't care how long you've been lifting and what kind of A.S. you are taking, some of those numbers are impossible.

I have to agree with a few others who felt like the board is getting out of hand. I mean, I get on here to read the opinions of others, and to try to contribute a little, but after a few minutes of reading some of this b.s. it makes me just log out and find something better to do.

Somebody please try to get this board straightened out. It's starting to SUCK.
 
my weight, 220...shit, at least 95...but i'm not sure

just kidding... my max is around 425, and my strength curve is slightly offset towards my max, so probably 225 for high 20's or so??
 
in the summer

i weighed in at 165 and could bench 230 for 17 max bench was 310 but i havent worked that hard since the summer
 
I pull this thread up ocassionally just to read all of the guys that say bullshit to some of the claims, Nobody , I repeat nobody has said anything unbelivable...including me. Out of 2000 view of this post not one person has taken me up on my cash challenge $200 for me to rep 225 over say 35 times...there has to somebody from washington that has read this thread! But apparently no one with the ball to put up some "BULLSHIT MONEY"
Last week I took a guy from work to the gym to educate him on the finer technics that he has not learned in 3 years of training. Anyway on outr last set of bench I did 225 for 33 times (bad day, someone could have collected) ...he was really impressed , he didn't doubt me , and he laughed when i told him I had been called a liar by pencil necked geeks across the nation (world?) anyway , the challeng is still open ,200$$ for me to do 225x 35 + times [email protected]
BTW before you take me up on it ...take a look at this picture of my arms and shoulders,,,,still doubt it???
