[Pete235]

Can't do bench...re-constructicive wrist surgery. My main chest exercise is Incline Dumbell Press.
Bodywieght 240lbs
Incline dumbells - 120's x 7 reps, 130's x 4-5 reps depending on the day...have never tried one rep max.

BTW....one cycle only under my belt

[dane26]

you're gonna hate the weight you move. it will take a while to get used to doing barbells again. anyway, weight- 240, max bench- between 415-420

oh yeah, partyboy, thats an incredible bench! especially for that weight

[arthurb999]

I weigh 205, bench max 285... yea I'm a wuss but I'm handsome and lean

Been a while since I maxxed out, I have been on the dumbell kick lately.

[Lush]

Weight 165lbs. Do reps on bench with 250lbs. haven't tried for a max bench in quite a while.... I'll have to check that out soon

[Lush]

And partNYC- holy crap bro- that's some serious bench your pushing for a 180- lb guy.

Or is that a misprint... are you 385lbs and benching 180 ???

Come clean bro... we're here to help you

[Lush]

And Dane- holy crap again!

I don't think i could even spot for 420lbs man....!

[partyboynyc]

no thats' for real bro, i've just been doing d'bells for like the last yr though. 110's for like 8. now dane's got me worried when i go back to barbell press, damn.fuck it, oh well.no i'm 180.i never maxed out though when i did barbell press.i'm think i may have been able to pull off 405 once, but i dont' lift for #'s anyway.i just like to look tight

[$uperman]

I am 19 , 210lbs , bench 335. totally natural. I think that i have a decent bench for my weight but then i look at my training partner. he just made 18 , he is 250lbs and is maxing 430. he is totally clean too. Its amazing , he's a freak.

[dane26]

i hate those guys. the young high school guys who get under a weight and just bang it out. they are freaks!

[$uperman]

Im telling ya man..... Its crazy when you seem him lifting, totally dedacated , then you find out he just made 18 and your like
He just told me he was thinking of taking a cycle this winter for mass. He will be a monster.

[Pete235]

Supe...if you're bro is bangin out that kind of wieght clean...tell him to stay clean for 2-3 years. He will only get bigger and stronger over the next few years. Tell him to hold off on the gear...if he won't listen invite him on the board and let him talk with some of the guys here. Everybody here agrees that 18 is too young.

partyboy keith elias got into a fight at bamboo last summer he was there with a bunch of his boys and was acting like he was hot shit and they got there asses beat.It was funny bamboo made some radio comercials making fun of it.

[Aguro]

Ok hmm.. tell me guy.. strengh come with time huh?
I weight 182 and aint able lift on flat bench pass 185 lbs. I find it pretty frustrating i been training for 8 month continuous. My peck routine is :
flat bench : warmup with empty bar
10 x med weight
3 x 8 high weight
12 x betwen med and high weight
Inclined : warm up with low weight
4 x 10 high weight
Flat fly : warm up with low weight
4 x 10 high weight

See any flaw? Or time will do the thing?
Maybe i should have started a thread heh..

[partyboynyc]

i know he's a total idiot.my dad and his dad are friends and we knwo exch other in passing, so i saw him at the ketch in LBI like 4 yrs ago and i was like what's goign on?he thought he was the shit!i was like your 3rd string special teams, motherfucker!needless to say he got thrown out for fighting that night and i saw it in the paper like the next day that he got arrested outside for fighting AGAIN!!!!fuckign loser.

[kizer_soce]

Shit 180 @120 that is fucking awesome.

I am weak, haha. at 215 I am benching well haven't done bench in a while, but incline is 275 for 6

Aguro - forced reps

i have always found that when u hit a certain plateau, eg. your with chest, you must push much heavier and much fewer reps. even if it just for a few weeks. i'd say on you main exercises eg. flat bench, do your 1 or 2 warm up sets, then do 6x heavy for 2-3 sets, or maybe do the last one with 3-4 reps. I'd say do that alternating with your current routine ie. normal routine one week, power routine next week. this will 'shock' da muscles, you have to FORCE THEM TO ADAPT!!

[xenithon]

...and one more thing: have u done that routine for the past 8 months? if so - vary it - it does wonders.

[Tobey]

As of this morning 165lbs( I've been cutting up alot here as far as my diet goes)

Bench max- 290lbs
All natural
I can't seem to get past the 300 lb mark.
Guy's at my old gym who weigh about the same (maybe a little more) are benching 335 to 350.
Kinda inbarassing really.

Thanx buddy, ill try that this week
Soo many thing i wanna do but i have to let those muscle heal

[dumbells101]

Max...what's that? I've never reached it!

[CrazyRussian]

im 19 bench press 405x2 naturally at 195 weight, started a cycle now, cant wait to see what i get up to!

[Gonna Be HUGE]

Crazy Russian, that is fu**in awesome! Impressive!

Anyways, my chest has always been my weakest body part. I weigh 232 now (I am builking and holding a LOT of water and fat - 18% bf) but can only rep 230 3 sets of 10. I haven't tried maxing in almost a year, but I would GUESS it to be around 275 or 280.

I'm such a wuss!!!!

[kaiser]

Weight 220. Max Bench 365, and going up thanks to bottle of Tornel Test200. Goal is to bench double my body weight.

[partyboynyc]

i just put them on my knees and as i'm rolling back i am already starting to lift them into the air, so when i'm on my back they are already in the air.sometimes though i'll need that little tap to avoid a sticking point.

[Pete235]

Yeah I'm with PB...watch the video of Ronnie in the Olympia forum, he does the exact move PB described with those ungodly 200lb dumbells he uses. It's alittle more difficult to do with incline dumbells so I usually rest them on my kness, kick them up as I'm rolling back into position and get my spotter tohelp get them up. Then it's hardcore baybay!!! Don't touch those fuckin things until they aren't moving anymore!!! (but Bert doesn't like it when I swear at her so I usually leave the "F" word out of it)

[jtnhtown]

I'm 205 lbs and can a few weeks ago threw up 275 lbs twice after a workout. I'm guessing I can probably get 300 lbs up once after a good warmup.

Some of you cats are monsters. Geezus!

[Big Al]

Divided the weight lifted by your body weight, that gives an indication who the really strong guys are.

[jssmc]

I rarely ever maxed out. I didn't like dropping my reps to 1 like that. Anyway, when I was 17 and all natural, I put up 335. Started juice when I turned 19. I am still 19, but now I put up over 400 pounds on barbell bench. Oh yeah, i'm 6'4 250. I switched to dumbells cuz the bar was real hard on my bad shoulders.
