Maybe some kind of record???

[Recruit]

My dad is 55 years old. He is 5'9" and weighs 185lbs. He has never done AAS. Monday he benched 315 lbs. for 8 reps, 355lbs. for 2 reps, and 370lbs. for 1 rep. Could this be some kind of state record?

It's not a record, but it's impressive since I assume he's not wearing a shirt.

 

[muscleup]

nice lifts indeed.

No shirt besides a plain black t-shirt...how much would a shirt add to someones bench? I've heard up to 50-60lbs.

 

[H_T_]

impressive, nonetheless....

 

[Twoguns]

those shirts are bullshit, they shouldn't be allowed

awesome...

I am 55, and have a pretty strong chest, the most I have ever lifted on a straight flat bench is 225lbs or 4 plates and the bar.

315 at 8 reps would be a record in my gym, he is impressive period, I don’t care how old he is.

Where are you, are you here in California?

We have a guy in our gym who holds a few records in his age group...I am not sure if he is 55, 56 or 57 but he can deadlift 600+, bench close to 400. I'm not sure how much he can squat.

At 185 though those stats you posted are impressive! Good genetics.

That's impressive

 

[jokerswild]

Not to take anything away from your dad but there a guy here at our gym, he;s probaly early fifties, I personally say him push 315 for 18 reps. I wouldn't have beleived it unless I saw it but I swear its true, he's a monster.....

Yeah but you wont get a response over there for days sometimes. I post everything in this forum and just let them move it if they want.

 

[gettnlarge01]

[Goldprospector]

If Bench shirts are Bullshit, then so are AAS!

I doubt it but not bad at all for his age.

No, I live in Arkansas.

 

[Recruit]

What really sucks is I am 30, and although I am stronger than him, he still blows me away pound for pound. I can't really find a lot of info. on bench press records in AR. so I have no clue how close he might be.
