how much can you bench ??

[ThickLEE]

I lifted 400 for one rep once. I lifted with a powerlifter that day and we used his techniques. I had previously only lifted 300 once. So using powerlifting techniques added 100lbs. to my max bench. Lots of fun, not to mention motivating when your lifting with someone who weighs 380 and benches 800!

So you added 100lbs by changing technique, BULLSHIT!!!!
Your partner benches 800lbs, BULLSHIT!!!!!

You must work out with Anthony Clark and he's hit the 800 mark and nobody knows about it yet. lol

Adding 100lbs by using plifting techiques I can believe, although it is a stretch... But your partner does not bench 800. I think the record is 780 lbs. If your workout partner did 800, he would be one of the top power lifters.

I'm not going to flame anyone in particular, just enlighten the board with some facts. If you want to see who is exagerating just a bit check the world records:

[liquidanny]

I am 5'10 184lbs. The most I have done is 275 lbs twice.
Dumbells I have done 110lbs 5 times. Much stronger in dumbells for some reason.

Quote: im 5'6 and weigh 195 and i just got into the 4 plate club my self i should be around a world record in a few months
Bro you got a long way to go.
If you diet down to 181 you'll have to add 200lbs to your bench.
If you bulk up to 198 you'll have to add 280lbs to your bench.
If you know of some sort of gear or training methods that will increase your lifts at that rate, fill us in.
