I haven't started and maxed with my flat bench since the end of the summer in 07. Was 190 pushing 315 for 6.

Been doing mostly incline bar and incline dumbbells

same. havent attempted 1 rep max for flat bench in ages. dont see the point anymore.

[Angel of death]

You dont need to post your 1 rep max, just the highest weight youve been using for any amount of reps...

[inky-e]

Weigh 208lbs...train with 275 for 15 reps..max maybe 325 for 8

[paulzane]

I am a weakling when it comes to bench ....... long thin arms doesn't help! Weigh 200 lbs and bench 220 lbs for 6 .... no spotter so I don't like to go too high!!

[VeraDeMilo]

Haven't maxed in about 2 years. Last time though I weighted 270lbs and benched 490. (competition style: butt on bench, touch the chest, 1-2 second pause at the bottom, back up to full extention. And no bench shirt.)

Ive lifted more, but i don't count it as my real max if there is any cheating in form or help from wraps or shirts involved. 490 is my best with perfect form.

[JDMSilviaSpecR]

Haven't used the barbell in about 6 months now. I can put up the 120 lb dumbbells for 8 reps on my 4th set. And I weigh 179-182.5 lbs on any given day.

[calgarian]

weight 220 bench 320 for 6 no spotter and after what happened to freak I am afraid to go higher.

[number twelve]

weigh 193 can get 365 for 2

[WOLFCRAFT]

194 and go 255 for 5.
Which sounds like baby weights next to what you guys are doing.

[smokethedays]

weigh 227 lbs, 375 lbs x 20 reps.

wheni was at 175 my bast was 405 for 4. That is when i hurt my self.

Now im a little less 165 and i can work 300 to 315 for sets or 8 and 6. If i drop my reps per set i can still push 345-350.

I dont see the need to go so heavy any more. Im happy with 315 and just repring them out with nice control and form.

very impressive strength for someone your size, what are your stats if you don't mind me asking?

[scibble]

i think i'm the smallest guy on this site: well, all i know (or brave enough to say) is i can bench more than my body weight but less than 1.5 times that. workin on it

your stats aren't that bad, i won't post them but they're not bad at all, and by far not the smallest on this site

[J-Dogg]

203lbs

2 million tons for 5 reps on good days.

225 for 10 on most though.

I lift for size, not strength

235-240lbs 515 max

thats an insane max bro

[CrazyHorse89]

Since I'm getting older, I dont' go heavy but best is @192lbs 405lbs, current is 186.5lbs reps 315 for about 6-8 reps, Incline dumbells are 120lbs for 10 reps. But from my experience when I max I have torn my left pec on 3 ocassions now. So I don't go Heavy anymore, and stick with reps no less than 6.

Peace

Not great for my size, I blame it on my long arms.....LOL

[PT]

thats an insane max bro

i could almost gurentee you that i couldnt do it today. i havnt lifted heavy in a while and probably never will again. on my heavy sets now i will sometimes hit 405 for a few reps but for what i do now there is no point going extremly heavy and risking injury

[Deltasaurus]

^^^^^ I agree. Maxing works the Ego But i do love it!!!!

No idea. Flat barbell benching started killing my shoulders a couple years ago so I've been sticking to dumbbells and I typically only use up to the 100lbs. I still do decline barbell though.

What are you talking about MS. That is GREAT! The 2007 NFL combine average for offensive lineman with 225 was 24 reps and those guys probably out weight you by some 100lbs

[rockinred]

best on my last cycle was my weight at 232lbs and pressed 430 pretty clean maybe could of went a tad bit higher.

now i weigh about 235ish and repping out 365 for 6 pretty smooth.

unlike others, I can't wait for next cycle.....hope to destroy 430 and keep moving up....

i figured you were around the height you are if you are 170-180lbs with your knowledge of cycling, some people just don't understand how an inch or two can make a huge difference in how you carry weight and look

[G-1000]

Shit i gain 5 pounds and its a huge diff. Its like you taller guys gaining 20 pounds.

I love the fact can out bench squat or press the taller guys. hahah
