How much do you bench?

[smaller]

Best ever was 405 for a single on two separate occaisions. 5'5 @ 168 8%.

Most recently I did 315 x 8: 178lbs @ 7%. I stopped pushing with a bar for 16 months and focused my workouts with dumbbells.

Best ever dumbbell flatbench press is 140 x 6. Currently doing working sets with 120-130 sets of 8-10. 185 @10%....this all pretty weak though I need pick up the pace...my old training partner is squashing me - he regularly talks shit over email

I haven't done a 1rm for about 10 years (that was 340), but these days I can usually rep 275x3.

With that said, Bench is the most over-done exersize in history.

I don't do flat bench anymore, but I can rock 245 on the inclines. So probably a bit more on flat.
