At 180-190lbs what do you bench?

**TheClinch** · 07-19-2011, 09:22 PM

Alright so i just hit a target bench press weight that i have been after for about 15 years now. I am not trying to impress anyone and I am not trying to start a pissing match here. I am simply curious what you 180-190lb'rs are benching out there.
p.s. sorry about the sh!tty post, throw me a line here though guys...

I figured this was going to happen...

As a user of AAS I am curious where the other users of AAS on this forum at 180-190lbs are at.

Sure, but nothing productive will come of it. Its just going to turn into a dick measuring contest.

At the time i wrote the thread I was riding a high just finishing up a wicked chest session. Wanted other guys to chime in. Maybe I'll get some level headed responses. Then again, i'm off to a bad start...

**Amorphic** · 07-19-2011, 09:52 PM

busting your balls lol. post in the lounge, and if you want a true measure of strength ask for top squats and deads

**werms** · 07-19-2011, 10:24 PM

I can do 135 at least once

The better question is how long is a piece of string?

yeah my crappy bench was a hold back in my plifting days (long arms) but i could dead and squat like a mofo, my best competition bench was 170kgs @90kgs class, some guys in that class were hitting 210-220kg benches

Thats huge! I'm nowhere near that action but i'm feeling inspired anyways about my latest step up in weight on the bench. 143kg. I'm getting only 5 reps out of it for now but I had to step up from 127kg for a while to help progress overall on the bench. You're a beast man!

**guitario** · 07-20-2011, 01:12 AM

At 182lbs i can bench 100kg for 6 reps which isn't great but i am 5ft 11 with long arms. I can flat DB press 45kg's for 6 reps which is stronger than my bench!

cheers man, but for competition my bench was much less than impressive

i should add tht 170kg was with an inzer shirt on also, my raw was 160kg

**Vullfromsc** · 07-20-2011, 08:02 AM

my roommate weighs 195lbs, he can bench press 315 for 8. i weigh 235lbs, i can bench 315 for 4.. lol

**slimshady01** · 07-20-2011, 08:04 AM

im about 189 and always had a horrid bench.. Im like 255 max. yes embarrising i know.

Damn strong! 45kg db press is super strong. I honestly think the average 185lb guy at a gym is db pressing around 27kg a hand, which makes you a killer out there.

How long are your arms?

Dude, 255lb max is f!cking awesome! I think that puts you repping like 225lb or that neibourhood, which is wicked. I never see a lot of 190lb guys throwing up 2 plates a side for reps. Thats impressive

yeah, and we have similar bodyfat around 8-10% and are both around 6'0"-6'1".. he just has short ass arms and a genetically large chest (like dinner plate large.. it looks like he is going to tip over sometimes) lol

Yeh i do have strong triceps. I can stack the tricep cable pushdowns in most gyms. Oddly my chest is weak which is why i think i struggle on bench. My reach is 73 inches. arms out to my side fingertip to fingertip.

**vtach12** · 07-20-2011, 11:32 AM

Well, when I weighed 190# I had not yet touched AAS. My 1RM on the bench was 315, and 365 on the decline. That was just last year.
I am now @212# and 14 weeks into small test deca cycle. 1RM is 335 flat, and 390# decline.

365lb on decline? Thats rediculously strong dude!

**fosh** · 07-20-2011, 12:19 PM

I'm 182 6ft 5 and can do 100kg 1 rep max I enjoy chest training but not that strong on it due to very long arms talking of arms 20 aside on the ez bar for 6

**brad1986** · 07-20-2011, 12:25 PM

I am 190 lbs and can bench 315lbs for 1 rep. I usually push 225lbs 8 times. I am 5'10 with long arms too..... All you forigners with your metric system is getting me all confused.lol jk

**chuckt12345** · 07-20-2011, 12:58 PM

usually its all relative,, if i could keep improving a steady 2lb increase every month then i would be estatic,, shitty thing is when you hit your peak, especially using aas you will always see anything less as inferior and then you feel the need to get there again with a bigger and badder cycle.

**MBMETC** · 07-20-2011, 01:10 PM

when i was on a cut diet and bout 170lbs i moved 225 flat for 8 reps and declined the same. bench press is my cryptonite

**RoidReaper** · 07-20-2011, 01:12 PM

I did 395 @ 175lbs 5'11

Anavar is magical @ 100mg a day lol

But yet again ive always been really strong for my size. I benched 305 @ 148lbs in high school naturally.

??? U must be around some weak people. 225 is a joke. All of us on the weight lifting team in HS were over 300 @ 180lbs with the exceptions of a few people as myself who benched 305 @ 148lbs ALL NATURAL. Pause benching, comp style. Not the stupid slam off your chest bench.

I dont beleve you. 225 isnt amazing but its strong...in general most guys would consider 225 for reps strong. My e diick is 16 inches by the way lol

I do 275 for 5, and 225 for about 12 and Im about 190 5"11. Bench is my weakest lift but I can dead 505 no problem for reps so that makes up for it.

**awms** · 07-20-2011, 03:05 PM

I rarely see guys under 200lbs put up 300 or more for reps.

**bradhore** · 07-20-2011, 03:09 PM

I think a good bench for a 190lb guy is about 100kg (inc the 20kg bar) for 6-8 reps. you rarely see many bench over 140kg for 6-8 reps.

**bradhore** · 07-20-2011, 03:10 PM

some people are so full of shite.

Dude you should donate your body to science thats f!cking unreal! Good show!

**Sfla80** · 07-20-2011, 03:13 PM

At 185 on Monday did 260# for 4reps on last set. Doing 225 for 12 reps.

Db 100# incline, 110# flat, for 6 reps.

My question is comparable to db and bb how does everyone match?
