Your Max Bench, Dead, Squat ?

interested to know what sort of age u are? (ball park)
how long have you been lifting consistently?

90lbs bench first time out...you should be thinking 300lbs plus easy.

for myself I will say hand on heart at bodyweight of 110lbs. I could only bench 25lbs for 10 reps when i started. put that in your one rep calc.

That was many long years ago. now i can do 220lbs. with more of a strength focused program i know 300 will go up one day.


this has been a most interesting thread ! just thought i would add my $0.02

Seriously, I had/have no intention of putting anyone down. If you can lift the weights you say than more power to you, but I know that the first time I went to touch a bench it was 90lbs and came down to my throat after 4reps. Maybe I have piss poor genetics when it comes to my chest, but I have never seen anyone who was tall and scrawny like me put up 225lbs.

The first time I benched, it was the bar for reps, at 6', 176lbs.

My last comp bench was 225lbs, at about 195lbs, and I've done as high as 232 in the gym.

While both of those are shirted numbers, I have no doubt I could do 225 raw for a few reps if I really wanted to because I suck at using my shirt.

Just some fun stats to think about:

Weight: 97, Bench Press: 231.5, 2.39 x body weight (BW)

Weight: 105, Bench Press: 286.6, 2.76 x BW

Weight: 114, Bench Press: 265.7, 2.32 x BW

Weight: 123 Bench Press: 303.1, 2.51 x BW

Weight: 132, Bench Press: 358.3, 2.71 x BW

Weight: 148, Bench Press: 353.8, 2.38 x BW

Weight: 165, Bench Press: 403.4, 2.51 x BW

Weight: 181, Bench Press: 402.3, 2.21 x BW

Weight: 198, Bench Press: 390.0, 1.97 x BW

SHW Bench Press 450.0 lbs, 1.79 x BW


....and none of them over 6 foot.

I usually don't talk about this but okay ...

I started lifting in the last 1-2months of highschool and I just finished my sophmore year in college. So i've been lifting about 2years.

I went from 183lbs to 258lbs in that time. I kept getting lean gains until I was 225ish but then took insulin and really went for bulk and got to 258lbs. Was dieting hard the last 3months and went down to 230lbs. Checked my bf this morning and showed 7% or so but I doubt I am lower than 9% and maybe as high as 11%.

My bench was 90lbs for 4, incline was like 75-85, standing military 55-65 for a few but my back got bent cause it couldn't support the weight, squatted 225lbs for a few reps (now I realize that my form sucked and all I did was probably bent my knees), never did deads back then.

Now days, I don't do flat bench anymore but incline is 225 for 6 maybe, seated front military is (I actually tried to maxout, which I almost never do) 245 for 2 and only bring down slightly below parallel, seated behind neck military is 185lbs for 8-10, squats I usually do 225lbs and ass to ground for 12reps or so, deads are weak since I only recently got the form right but I can do 3plates for 1 or 2.

Never missed a workout, had a diet I followed after 4months of training and still do. 5-8meals a day depending on season and goals to bulk or cut, and I only rarely cheat on my diet ... like on special occasions or if I take my gf out to a chinese restaurant.

I wasn't "natural" though, as I saw it pointless to be if my goal was size and this would be the fastest and most efficient way to do so.

That being said, I started bulking about 2 weeks ago and all my lifts are PR's. I use dc's training method so basically my first lift is 8reps, I go up at least 5lbs per week on compound movements.
