Whats everyone bench ?

[airsmith2k]

Guess I cant exaggerate cuz my training partner started the thread (what were u thinking bro.lol)

Me last week. 360X3 at the end of my workout.
1 rep max is about 400-410. Not a pound more or less.

damn my bench is almost identical to yours...the best i ever did was 365 for 4...my bench changes alot every week i dont know why....some times i can throw up 315 for 10 and some days only for like 6-7

IM 6'3 AND I CAN BENCH 315 FOR 8-10....U GOTTA GRIP EXTRA WIDE IT MAKES THE RANCH OF MOTION SHORTER

Yeah, i'm 6'2 and i just started going extra wide with my index fingers like an inch outside the rings, sure does help out a lot. 225x10

About a year ago when I was in Iraq:
265Lbs-1x.....5'7" at 170.
I think I'm at 225 right now after a back injury and physical therapy.

at the end of my workout, 295 x 2 about 3 months ago, haven't gone real heavy in a while due to a shoulder/neck injury. in my prime, max was about 360-375, but that was 15 - 18 years ago, and i left the gym for a while. now i'm back to stay, won't take long, and i'll break that 400 + barrier

i just made a big jump in benches--
went from the one on the left to the one on th right--who is better than i am!!

for those who do not like trying to find there 1RM there is an equation that is right 98% of the time. it works for most upper body lifts.

(5RM weight X 1.1307) + 0.6998 = 1RM for upper body

Easier and more accurate way is to extrapololate the slope out from your 5 rm and 10 rm, reps versus weight are a linear function in most every case.

I have a bird-like chest but I can probably squat ATF most of the posters in this thread's bench weight plus thier body weight.

Except those guys doing 400+

when i juiced a while back i could tell you EXACTLY what i bench...Funny thing is now i never to flat bench or incline..I do lots of dumbbells, plate loaded machines, cable cross overs, push ups and dips..I prolly should but i work so much on hitting every part of the chest.....I do the 100lb flat dumbell press's which for my size i think is good... 5'7 163lbs..Not bad

Not to be a downer or anything, but just as squats don't count unless they break parallel, you can't go wider than index finger on the ring in the bench press. There's no consideration for arm length. If it helps, the best bencher in the world right now is 6'3". He also weighs almost 350...

It's the rules, what can I say?

That doesn't matter if he doesn't compete though does it?
