Dumbell press #'s ?

[RageControl]

Well i dont work with a partner anymore so im too afraid to flat bench heavy weights without a good spot. So im now going to dumbell flat bench presses. What kinda weight do you guys move ? Be honest this isnt a contest just a question.
Whats your body weight and what do you put up?

i'm the smallest of my workout partners, but usually on flat bench i grab the 145's for 6-8. right now i weigh 247 and begin my cycle on april 1. hopefully i can catch them soon

Not to take away from your question Rage, but what are the DB's that the pro's press?

And Dane, we don't even have 145's at my school. The highest they go is 120, and I olny ever see them used for shrugs. lol

I weigh 222 tonight, and I use the 50's for my DB presses. But I am an old man

[DevilsDeity]

only use them for inc db press 110's cause we dont have heavier

im 212lbs

I weigh in at 198 now, gained about 5 pounds from somewhere...but I work out on DB flat bench every 2 weeks roughly, I normally begin with the 100's for about 10 reps and i've gone as high as the 115's for 6 reps. Incline normally I get up to the 105's.

5'11 225 nad 125 is the biggest we got...use those for flat and 100s for shoulder presses....

240 and get the 115's on flat and 110's on incline

peace

The dumbells at my gym go up to 200lbs...and i'm not talking about the people that workout there either!

Just before I tore my tri-cep I was throwing up the 135lb DB on the incline for 6 solid reps...my Bodyweight was 260lbs and i'm 31...so you can see chest is not my strong point...but it's good enough for the girls I go with.

[Kärnfysikern]

I weight 197-198 and I use 92's(41,6 kilos, damn tiny weights compered to the rest of you) for maby 6-7 reps.

I think the highest we have is 160's, however sometimes they are disguised as guys of 220 and curling in the squat rack.

And so no one is gonna make fun of my 50's?
