[Scrapper]

hey..

18 years old
150 lbs (super cut)
5'8

1 rep max 250lbs give or take 5 pounds depending on the day. i think thats decent but i don't know now that i looked at some of the other guys on here haha.

[ironmaiden181]

315@178

[ripsid]

I'm not a max guy but I'll put these up:
I did 315 for 5 @ 160 bench. seated military 225x3 @ 170, squats 400x8 (7th set) at 180ish.
I haven't benched in 1.5 years, but now use db's so I'd do 120x8 to 10 for my 7th set(2 warmup)
Shrugs with a barbell my last set (5th) would be 455x8, and me and some bro's would use a machine and add 45's and we'd get our last set to 655 and do drop sets F*N WOW!
I'm just starting to do dead, I have a bad back.

" What do you guys think? "

Here I am again, since starting AAS my body weight has increased 12-13lbs and my max bench now is about 330-335lb. I just hit 325lbs at a competition...

[Iowaplatehog50543]

hey try this it worked for me. bench day 1 flat bb 2 warm up sets then 4 more sets pyramid 8,6,3-4,2-3 reps then an set of pauses at 65-70% of ur max bring the bar down to 3-4 inches of ur chest count one then press, then do flat db 3 sets heavy 8,6,2-4 reps heavier each set, then incline 2 warm ups the 4 sets pyramid. then day 2 bench lite day flats 2 warm ups the 4 sets 10,8,6 reps fairly heavy then one drop set lets say 225 for as many as you can, then declines 2 warm ups then 4 sets heavy 8,6,2-4, then a drop like on flat, then db flats 3-4 sets 6-12 reps, this will not make u look like a bodybuilder but it should help ur bench. good luck and make sure u do those pauses they are the key

I am not the best at bench, but I bench 295 max, 265 in sets. I have no clue why I can only do 295 once clean. and be able to do sets of 6 of 265? any suggestions from anyone...

[Iowaplatehog50543]

I'm a member of NASA (natural athletic strength association) and a close personal friend of mine is Joe Thompson if you check the NASA sight you will see he has done 518 at 208 on bench and 600+on squat and 650+ on deads. If you want to put up big numbers check out that sight or e mail me ill try to help.385 at 225 is great but you should set your sites higher. good luck mass junkie

385 BP @ 225 lbs

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.

[homeboybonanza]

I like the guys who post strange numbers like 400 (why not 405, isn't that 4 plates?) or 402 (what?) Personally I can bench 431 x 3.5...(laugh!)

[anaBROLIC]

21 years old, 178lbs, max bench 345lbs clean. hoping for 405lbs by middle to end of august..thats my goal...

[Iceman1800]

475 at 242 in a meet

[RJstrong]

I like the guys who post strange numbers like 400 (why not 405, isn't that 4 plates?) or 402 (what?) Personally I can bench 431 x 3.5...(laugh!)

you also have to take into account that some of those strange numbers
you see are hit during a powerlifting meet... powerlifting is done in kilos. not in pounds... for example i just hit a 250 kilo. bench press which is equal to 551 pounds... so when converting kilos. to pounds you end up with crazy
numbers! here is another example 500 kilos. = 1102.2 pounds... 1102.2
looks strange I admit but in powerlifting its the norm!

[Fat Guy]

Im a fat bastard (300lbs) and old (33yrs) and i hit 385 twice. Afterwards, I have to check my prostrate to make sure it did not explode.
