I bench S y about 50 times.
I'm not sure of the exact formula either, I think anywhere from 50-100 lbs depending on various factors like the words "I probably can", "I used to", or "I'm repping about." Another factor to consider is degree of kinship.
Although in some cases the number is real, but if you had file footage of the reps, you'd see the always classic "back breaker" bench press or the ever trendy slight elbow bend where the bar only goes down four inches before it goes back up. The third option is usually the spot-o-matic bp where said internet poster has a workout buddy help lift the bar up for the last "x" reps after he gets the first back breaker in.

<--weak sauce. Im 26 and havent worked out since junior high. Back then, I could bench 150 probably weighing 120. I was weak then, too.
Skinny as .
I have always, always hated working out. Such a bore. I have never derived any pleasure or level of satisfaction from working out. Wish I could, I certainly have tried, but to no avail.
Doing 180 while weighing 170 is pretty good/better than average for the average person.
But doing this as a high school football player? Different story.
maxed out @ about 350 the summer before our last season in football. when i was at my strongest i could rep 225 pretty much at will. could also do quite a lot on bench with just one hand if i had 2 people holding the ends of the bars steady.
but if i didnt have the worst form ever on squats... i could do a lot... but i'm pretty sure i ed my back.
200 and I think I'm weak.
that's also my weight, but I stil think a punch from me would hurt.
i weigh 155 and can do 160 once
uugghhhh
2 reps of 380 two weeks ago.
I run between 210 and 220 nowadays.
I really don't understand why I try to lift this much weight nowadays, my athletic career ended about six years ago so it does nothing for me but make me more and more awkward whenever I go play ball.
damn
Yeah I hate squats, my coach is obsessed with them, it's basically the focus of our whole program, we don't bench enough. I just hate squating, it's a .
This thread inspired me to test my single rep max today, so I managed to throw 245 up two times, but right after I'd upped my 225 to 7 reps. I'm thinking I might be able to squeeze out 255 one time.
I'm weak as all- upper body regardless of how much I work at it (as anyone seeing me throw can attest) ... but I can hit 3 reps of 15 on an adductor at 170.
And I have no cartilige in my right knee, so I don't do squats. Ever.
true. power lifters are expected to do double thir body weight, minimum.
Jman ive seen pics of u and I just dont see u putting up 250 much less 350. You must have been alot bigger back then.
i've lost like... 70 pounds since my high school days. i'm also about 6'3, so my weight gets lost in my long frame.
What do you weigh these days, jman?
I can't believe this thread actually influenced me to take it up a notch today. My focus is doing 225 as many times as I can, I could care less about 1-rep max... but now I'm motivated to get it up to 315.
Brady Quinn did 24 reps of 225, made me feel kind of weak
about 210-215 depending on if i've taken a crap or not
i used to be super huge... i'll post a picture one of these days when i can get a hold of a scanner.
trying to get at or below 200 before my birthday.
if you're not in any type of compe ive sport or something like that you should always lift to maximize repe ion as opposed to a single lift max.
Yea, maxing out is so bad for your body if done often. My coaches in high school would olnly make us max once a month, just to check strength developmentabout 210-215 depending on if i've taken a crap or not

yeah. we would really only officially max out once a season. that was for the lift a thon fundraiser, but when it's just guys lifting weights during the off season or something... you get in a lot of pissing contests to see who's the strongest.
Yea for sure, used to do the same things with clean and jerk, now Im paying for it in my back down the road
Where did you play high school ball J?
the top 5 in each category (bench, incline press, squat, and power clean) would get a custom team shirt with their max on it. I had one for bench and one for incline press.
unfortunately they were cheap as and the screen print wore off within a year.... that probably didn't help my argument any
to answer mardigan.. marshall
What year did you graduate?
you're starting to scare me
