*How Much Can You INCLINE DUMBBELL PRESS?*

[RipDsel]

I can do the 120's 10 times, never tried anything higher, no need to when the whole gym stares at you already in awe.

110's for 7 and 100's for 15... 45 degree Incline.

100lbs is about all the more I can handle right now. But, hey you have to start some where. I started with 60lbs a few years ago.

17, completely natural...5'8" a little over 180 and i did the 120's for 6, 125'sx4 and i think i can do the 125's for 5 now without much trouble(legit...i got pretty strong chest and delts, and i dont normally have a spotter around with DB's...i just go to failure and drop em)

 

[FREAK19]

Monstar im sure i can hang with you on the 160's cause my gym only has 140's and i can rep them out.

 

[MarshallPenniford]

Damn.. I am 25...weight 190.. 6'2" and do sets of 8-10 with 40lb DBs.. I can do 6-8 with 45s..

It really is hard for me to imagine pushing up 100s. I've been working out a year, natural of course.

Time to change the way you train! My girlfriend lifts heavier, one year of training, all natural. Not a diss, just trying to get you thinking about a better way.

 

[BodybuildingUniverse]

My girlfriend lifts heavier

I think that is officially called a diss...

 

[Dozerjay]

Depends on the day (energy level) but usually anywhere from 115's-130's for good sets of 8 or more at a bodyweight of 200lbs..no juice either...not that there is anything wrong with that .

 

[Lumbuss]

i incline db press 0lbs.

I'm not trying to piss anyone off but are you guys serious?
It's starting to make me wonder who I'm getting advise from!
I come from a really hard core power lifting gym and anyone lifting less than 140's is pretty unheard of ! I'm not expecting a metal but before I touched any gear i was throwing up 140's in less than 2yrs of training . Maybe it's just the environment I come from!

Look at your body weight, and look at the weight you are using.
You are 265lbs, but you are using 280lbs total (2 x 140lbs dumbbells) That is a strength ratio of 105%. You forget that we have several guys here who are at a much lighter weight such as 150, 160, or 170lbs, yet are very powerful working out with 100lb or 110lb dumbbells. Now look at the strength ratios:

bodyweight dbs ratio dbs ratio dbs ratio
150lbs 90lbs 120% 100's 133% 110lbs 146%
160lbs 90lbs 112% 100's 125% 110lbs 138%
170lbs 90lbs 105% 100's 117% 110lbs 129%

Now, what is more impressive. . . a guy at a lighter bodyweight who can use weights far above their bodyweight with a higher ratio or a guy at a heavy bodyweight who can barely work with more that his bodyweight? That is how powerlifting is based on ratios. I'll give you some advice. . . its "medal" not "metal"
