How much can you bench?

[m4ch0dude]

Just out of curiosity, checking the stats among members

[meltdown75]

last time i knew i was in grade 7. no clue

 

[tfinch2]

I did 185 about 5 times the last time I worked out, so I figure about 205-210 1 times should be about right.

 

[yankeesfan]

100-1000

 

[Siddhartha]

12 ounce Bud Lite or Miller High Life

 

[Jfrag Teh Foul]

Heh... when I was 18 I hit 205... not too much I know, but at the time I weighed in at 121lbs.

 

[Lash444]

In high school 275, at 175 lbs.

Recently?
Enh i did either 215 or 225 at about 180-185

Ah the benefits of age. I am not in bad shape though.

 

[m4ch0dude]

I do 275, almost there...

 

[Amused]

I don't do max lifts anymore. At 37 I'm just too prone to injury to be trying something that has no fitness value whatsoever, but is a huge risk.

As of late i'm doing 265-275 lbs for 6-8 reps for my two heavy sets of flat bench.

 

[Dedpuhl]

I'd probably struggle w/ the bar right now...

 

[edro]

175 or so probably... I do my 4 main heavy sets of 10, with 65lb dumbells.

 

[xXped0thugXx]

225 3 times. never maxed to do it once. im 6'0 180lbs

Hey, I'd be happy doing 275 when I'm 37 (I'm 24 now)

 

[Argo]

How many times? 1 time - 315+. At least 10 reps - 225. Back when I used to be on creatine - 265.

What is more popular these days? The sit-down machines like they have in gyms or workout equipment, or the standard "free weights"? Bowflex?

 

[Anonemous]

I go to the gym, and I prefer free weights, but that's just me.
Dont really know whats more popular

 

[OutHouse]

no idea, havent lifted in 10 years

 

[Turkish]

I lifted 265 x 4 when I was a senior in High School.

Now I can lift 225 x 2 So out of shape

 

[m4ch0dude]

Oh yeah, for the poll I meant 1 rep max, free weights

I swear just this morning I had a wacked dream where I was a job recruitee for some big company and they had us do bench presses and I was first... they set it at 210lbs and I didn't think I could do it, but did... the company had nothing to do with physical attributes either.

- what a fvcked up dream
- there's no way I can do 210lbs... at least not yet.

Quite impressive for your age :thumbsup:

The most I've ever done was eight hours straight. And let me tell you, it was one hell of a nap!

It's a feat I'll probably never duplicate. Those benches aren't comfortable.
