how much can you bench ??

  • Thread starter Thread starter Victor

I just recently started doing flat-bench again. I had been doing Inclines and then Flat dumbbell, but I decided I'd switch it back for my cycle that I'm on.

During my last chest workout I went up to 455 for 7 reps. It sounds big, but not for a 6'5", 310lb guy. Before I started using Inclines for my main chest builder, I did a max of 560, but I think I'm stronger now. I just need to get used to the flat bench again. My squats suck ass though.
 
I am 5-9 220. I can bench 435 with a bench shirt on. Most of the time I dont max out. I usually workout with 315 for 12-15 reps. I would like to catch up with my father one day who is in the 500 pound club, but he is 5-9 290 pounds. I am 24 and he is 46 and kicks my ass in every lift.

Hmm..

Ive never really cared about stregth just for the simple fact that girls walking on the beach dont say , hOLY SHIT HE CAN BENCH 500 , im going to fuck his brains out. :)

Anyways im 20 510 18.5inch arms 220 can bench 320 for 6 clean right now :).
 
I am 6'2" 310 lbs, 30 years old. I maxed out tonight at 605 lbs (no shirt, no pause). I am pretty happy with this. My best max before this was 550, so I am making progress. I will be at an Ohio powerlifting meet the first weekend in Dec, so I feel pretty strong going into it.
 
Damn you guys are strong.

I'm 6'5" and weigh 260. Just hit my PR on bench yesterday with 315 for 6. I was happy but now I feel like hell after reading this thread. lol..

I never post on "these" posts, but since I am proud of my progress...

Considering I just recently returned to convention benching (bad shoulders-trying to get better) and I'm not on a cycle, I am happy with my progress.

Currently 5'10 and 210 and 12-15%, completely juice free since June.

**295 for 3 (previous week was 275 for 5), will try 305 Friday**

I returned to conventional (from db and hammer strength) about 3 months ago, no workout partner had me staying around 225-255 for 10-6 rep range, last 4 chest workouts I have trained with someone and have the confidence-spotter to work in the lower rep range, allowing for more weight.
I am not talking about a hands-on-the-bar spotter, I'm talking there if I need it and there for forced and negatives.

I suspect I will be upto 3 plates in a couple more weeks (and close to 4 on my next cycle), 365 was my best 1RM (at a weight of 242 and 10%), 315 was my work weight years back 10-8 rep range.

Not a big fan of conventional benching,
