Yesterday, I was able to bench press 250lb for 6 reps @ bodyweight of 200lb. I have never been a fan of low rep sets or 1 rep max attemps. However, I am still curous of my max.

thats actually pretty good but i have a couple questions...

is this freeweight, machine, or tracked freeweight?
how heavy is the bar? (doesnt apply if its machine)
how tall are u?
how old are u?

 

Free weights
45lb olympic bar 2-45's 1-10 and 1-2.5 on each side
6ft tall
27

 

thats good as far as i'm concerned. u must be built like a damn bull. i'd say 290-300 for the max.


ohya... dont try and max out with no spotter.

 

dang. I wish i could bench that much! I can only do 150pounds twice. im such a wimp!
im 235 6'3" 20y old. Looks like i need to hit the old iron some more

 

Yeah last time I worked out was 2 years ago in HS and the best I did was 155! What is your workout routine?

 

All through highschool I couldnt bench for crap. I could only bench 180 then. And of then I got out of school and got into car sales and got engaged to so i blimped up. I am only 5'8 and got up to 238. I wore a 38 pant and hated it. About a year and a half ago I started working out and taking different things and now i wear a 34 pant and work out with , well now, 240lbs on bench. I started ,rep wise, working out with 140 so i have gone up quite a bit. If i would eat right i would be trim like i want but i still enjoy my beer too much. I take in about 200 grams of protein a day now along with amino acids and other things i wont talk about. I work out at least 3 times a week now doing wieghts and cardio. I never really worried about my max before it always messed up my reps or i was affraid of pulling something. I screwed up my shoulder playing ball so now i get to hear a lovely popping noise in my shoulder when i work out. I am still not happy with my size but i am working on it. Keep it up man

260-270 pounds

Just thought I would throw my stats in to.

 

only if i can have a big stick

 

My routine is very simple. I workout my chest 2 time/week. On day 1, I do 4 sets of bench and 4 sets of dips with added weight for about 6-8 reps on each set and never go all the way to failure. On day 2, I do 4 sets of inclne dumbell and 4 sets of incline bench press for the same reps and never to failure. I had never benched this much before. Maybe just 4 weeks I was doing about 235-240 for six reps. Thats about when I started taking Cell-Tech. This stuff really works. As far as my max goes I am going to start benching with 275 for a few reps and rest longer between sets. After doing this for about 2 weeks I am going to for 315 and hopefully I will get it off my chest.
