    Nothing like keeping an ancient thread alive....
    163% 345 @212 before starting cycle. I have moved away from the flat bench for the last 6 weeks. I will see what I have in a couple of weeks.


    BTW...did anybopdy else notice there was no 160-170% bracket in the poll?

    I just started training a year ago and I weighed 205lbs and could only bench 175 for 85%. Yes, I know a total fat a$$. A year later I weigh 170lbs and can bench 235 for 138%. A gain of 52%. I will get 200% someday.

    good thread. i always heard that a good measure of strength is if you could squat 2 times your weight and bench 1.5 times your weight.

    I weigh 175 and last time i maxed out at 315. That was about 6 months ago and when i did that i could only hit 225 10 times, but now i can put it up 12-15 times so im pretty sure that im between 80-90%.

    I can bench press 315 at 195lbs, which is 162%. But a guy at my gym weighs about 290 and ive seen him get 650 once clean, and do 10 reps reverse grip with 405 with ease. He is a ****ing monster.

    about a month ago I did 355 for two reps. 5'8 200lbs.

    When I turned 40 I was overweight and out of shape. I figured I'd better start some strength training before it's too late. Now I'm 42 yrs, 5' 6", 143 lbs. I bench 290 (just over double body weight). 300 is around the corner. Lifetime drug free.

    425 raw (no super shirts) bench Devided by 306lbs. body weight equals 139%. 6'1" tall
    425/306=1.3888 * 100=138.88= 139%
    I was reading many of the post in here and I all I have to say is WOW!

    1RM/body weight 205/190=107%
    Any way that's raw- no super shirt, sleeves, wrist wraps. And I've got a hurt shoulder. Before I hurt it, I was at 280/195=143%
