    I beleive some might be inflating theres a little but i bet bunch of these guys are hitting close or not right on what they are saying. i see quite a few people hit 300 for many reps. not where im at for 400 reps though. That is my dream by end of this summer i be hitting 400 1 to 2 times (hopefully sooner). when i do it i take picture to show everyone becuase i have hit one of my many goals that i started this year.

    weight 190 depending on the time of year.
    I only do a max at the end of a work out. 285 to 300 1 rep
    I always tell my much bigger, stronger and younger body building friends that I have never had a Judge ask be how much I can bench press.
    I train in the 6 to 10 rep range always.

    24 yrs old. Started working out for the first time in mid-Jan. Then it was 205, now its up to 260. All natural but I think alot has to do with just starting and getting used to the weight. Hopefully have 300 by end of Summer. I'm 6' 220.

    I am 16 been training for 9 months
    i wiegh 195

    i favor dumbells more than the bar feel like i get a better pump out of it

    i work with 110lbs / 8 reps

    i dont think there is a reason to max cause you dont get anything from 1 rep

    could someone tell me what would maybe that be for a max on the bar


    thanks

    JP if you are a powerlifter and training for a competetion it would behoove you to train for a one rep-max day just before your competition.

    Alright here goes my first post. Im 174ish and like some of the other guys said, I use dumbells because I think they work better. I havent maxed out on a flat bench in probably 2.5 years. However, I usually do 4 sets @ 8-10 reps with the 90lb dumbells, anyone have any idea about what I can max at?

    Later on

    i am not a powerlifter i am training to be a bodybuilder so i go for size and definition


    i believe its about quality not quantity



    and on my 1st post i put 110lbs/8 reps
    i meant 110lbs each dumbell /8 reps

    i weigh 244,am 34 years old and did 445 with a shirt last week. i usually get 315 for 5 area raw. my partner is 255 and is doing 620 with a shirt he is 100% power lifter and is planning on beating the world record in 242 class which is 655 hopefully this year. i have seen him handle close to that and just missed.
    to canes for ever
    your bench strength depends on so much
    1)as body builders we take bar higher on chest, that habit I am still trying to break as i am doing bench meets now,which reduces bench
    2)mechanics are very important
    3)back work very important for bench--must have strong lats
    4)tris very important for bench---if using a shirt the rebound effect takes bar to where the tris are doing most bench work--if no shirt tris still cruchial as most sticking points are at tris level
    5)to build bench you must incorperate board presses and have proper mechanics

    big kev very impressive bench bro
