Yah thats what the gym owner said before I bent his rusty old bars and he had to go out and buy a new squat bar cuz of me.

I remember back in the days 500lb benches were common.

**clipper** · 11-28-2003, 01:24 PM

my best ## are 415 for 2 on flat. 375 for 2 on incline. I have to fix the weight on my db (ther not hex head) and do 165 for 4. Im 31 5'10 and 255.

I am getting ready to start a new program i got from PL USA mag this week. I want to bench 510 (2x my weight)

**BDTR** · 11-28-2003, 02:53 PM

hit 500 earlier this week.

**Russ616** · 11-28-2003, 04:40 PM

[QUOTE=swellin]Actually, according to a site that I believe Bdtr put up..his max would be 607. Even more impressive.

http://www.exrx.net/Calculators/OneRepMax.html

I use www.criticalbench.com and it is real accurate for my bench. I do 225 for 10 reps and my max hit was 295lbs. But I like the site you go to better because I look a little stronger but take a look at that site.
Good lookin

I took a look at critical's chart, and it is not that much different. It is a little lower, which I like. I would prefer to understate my max, than be wrong and lose the bet proving it. Of course, I doubt I'd bet if I had not tried the actual weight. So much contributes to your max, that you can do a weight one day and not budge it again for weeks.

**BDTR** · 11-28-2003, 07:01 PM

I was strong as hell when i came off and hadn't maxed in a while.

**Paranoid** · 12-10-2003, 02:54 AM

Man, there are some strong bros on this forum. Personally I am 26, currently 225lb, and my max bench is 365lb. Rather weak, but my squat makes up for it. I have never maxed out on squats but can do 5 plates for reps.

**goodtobeapimp** · 01-30-2004, 01:43 AM

i'm 22 and 5'9,235lbs. I've done 475 for a single with no shirt,but i did use wraps for my elbows and wrist wraps also....

**slobberknocker** · 01-30-2004, 07:30 AM

440 raw. I'm 20, 6'1, 350 lbs. I think I could have hit 470 before I tore my pec a month ago. The strength shall return, though.

**homeboybonanza** · 01-30-2004, 07:48 AM

BP / 315x12
Hammer Strength Incline Press / 405x5

**cj1capp** · 01-30-2004, 08:45 AM

two days ago i hit 3 sets x 8 reps at 320 lbs, looking at all of these numbers it sounds like gear has made me kind of strong . When I started on 12/08/03 I could only bench 150 lbs. Thanks for the BP caculator I will try and get my max 1 rep BP , today. According to the caculator I should hit 1 rep at 377lbs. cj

**sigrabbit** · 01-30-2004, 09:28 AM

30y.o.
5'9"
200-210lbs depending on the day
bench 315 pretty easy, maybe 325-335 max
incline 225 x 10, but I just started doing them
squat 405 x 5

**JGK** · 01-30-2004, 11:55 AM

I've only been working out for about six months so my numbers are pretty weak.

Bench 295
Dead 405
Squat 395

**shootdeep** · 01-30-2004, 03:24 PM

someone at my gym benched 650 at a bodyweight of...i think it was like 240. anyway it was a new world record in his class. he was in POWERLIFTING magazine in august? yeah i think it was august. i'll find out for sure. another guy squatted 1000lbs in september. i have that on video. he was probably and inch or two shy of parallel, but impressive nonetheless. anyone that does the meets in the nh area will know which two guys they are

**shootdeep** · 01-30-2004, 03:29 PM

my pesonal best bench was 375lbx2 last august. when i tried for 400, i destroyed my shoulder and i await surgery at this time.

**BIGTOTAL** · 01-30-2004, 06:55 PM

The calculator is way off. How can it possible be correct. It depends on your slow and fast twitch muscle fiber. Strong guys have an abundance of fast twitch which means they cant do a lot of reps with lighter weights. Rep guys have more slow twitch which is why some guys can do a weight for 10 then try 50 lbs more and miss.

**thetank** · 01-31-2004, 04:32 AM

havent been able 2 max in a while due 2 a nagging bicep injury...but i can rep 225 for 25+reps..dumbells 130's x 6-8 on incline (im 5'5 220)

**homeboybonanza** · 01-31-2004, 06:45 AM

CJ,
You are so full of it. You're telling us that you more than DOUBLED your bench in one month!? (12/8/03 you could only bench 150...now you're doing 320x8x3 sets?) Besides...who puts 320 on the bar anyway? It should be 315 (3 45lb plates).

i think there's a typo in there......320x8x3??

hmm can you shoot me a PM and tell me EXACTLY what you're using for gear? my best was 375lbsx2, but i wanna hit 750lbs for 3 sets of 8 by 2/15/04... thanks

**kdawg21** · 01-31-2004, 08:01 PM

Once again I am going to have to call BS on these numbers.

**young guns 777** · 02-17-2004, 08:33 PM

335@200 clean

**qckgixxer1k** · 02-17-2004, 09:38 PM

im 19, 155lbs my max bench is 260lbs.... I'll be starting my first cycle soon so hopefully i'll put up over 300lbs easy.

**Viking_Power** · 02-18-2004, 02:05 AM

I dont do bench a lot these days, right now I can do 8 times 315, and didnt try for my max. I use to do a lot heavier when I did flat bench each week.

Thumbs up for us older guys!

**D-END** · 03-05-2004, 02:22 PM

I know people hate it when people say "I know this guy and he benched....." with that in mind...when I was in highschool a freshman by the name of Aaron Donaho benched 455 for 3 clean reps.....oh yeah lets not forget as a freshmen he was 5'7 and 320 pounds. Some people are just blessed with strength and others inject it.

**LostUp** · 03-06-2004, 12:17 AM

Haha, not that I believe the guy, I dont know either way but I put 320 on the bar on a regular basis.

**Hitman** · 03-06-2004, 01:57 AM
