Bench ? - Is 245 alot?

[RustyTromboneMan]

I hate when people brag about how much they bench. I always do weigh less weight than I am capable of maxing out with. I like to do the exercise slow and feel the muscle working. When I max out, all I feel is aninjury comming on

that's a good thing to know! haha, 'cause damn, wouldn't that suck if your strength started going down during your 30's....i'd imagine that would make you feel old fast. do you feel old genarr??? hehe

It's actually quite cool to hit a personal record when you have gray hairs coming in. I just hit one in the bench a couple of weeks ago, and plan on picking up a few bench trophies this summer. Well, that's the plan at least.

Well I am 20 and 205-210lbs. and bench around 345-355 depending on the day. My friend who just took home a few trophies from the NPC Western USA Natural does 280 and is only 145Lbs.

Gettin my fina saturday and should be around 375 in a short while, big deal I actually dislike Flat Bench. I am so far all natural. Won't be on monday!!

ur question could have alot of answers the way u worded it. i can tell u that i'm 5'9 185 8-10% and maxed at 375 while on and 330 two months later not on anything. as far as repping 275-5, so no 245 is not alot. but we have no clue whether ur bf% is 10 or 25 so it would be almost impossible to give u an accurate answer. 245 isn't bad for someone who is 40 with 15% bf but someone like me who is 23 it's not really very impressive. honestly, i don't even care what my max bench is, it's just a #. i only do bells now. when people brag about their max bench whether it's higher or lower than mine, i just laugh and think what a dumbass. if ur worried about ur bench u need to reevaluate why ur in the gym in my opinion.i think the bros would be better able to help u if u gave us AGE, TIME LIFTED, BF%, ECT. just by .02, BIGGA

yea well im 5'9" and weigh a heavy 165lb and max bench at 455lb so there........and my dad can kick your dads ass!!!!! you see LITTLE man it doesnt matter how much you can put up or well maybe it does to you but not for me. im 6' even and weigh 241lb and dont max bench you will get the same way when you get older cause im not in highschool. as far as bench bigman.......well simply your 375 sounds good but my second warm up is 365lb for 8 so there........yes i said warm up.......ok......bye bye then.

Well my previous best was 410lbs at 198 in a bench meet, so it was a clean lift. This was also a long time ago and I was all natural at the time, but I was using a bench shirt.
Now I would be hard at 230 so I've put on a bit of muscle since then. I'm hoping to hit 500 with the help of a real good bench shirt. I figure it's possible because I did 405 for 4 just 3 weeks ago, that was my personal record I was talking about. I feel 405 x 4 is equal to something like a 450 bench, so a shirt and some steroids hopefully will put me in the 500 club. Hopefully is the key word here, it might also nail me to the bench.

Yo BOSS,
Bro i said i don't think max bench matters and i wasn't impressed with mine. How u got i was bragging out of that is beyond me. I take it u were being scarcastic with the 165lb comment. And i think that's great that ur second set is 365 for 8. I'm well aware that some people that weigh the same as i can bench over 500lbs. And i hope that when i get in as many cycles as u that i can do 365 for 4.lol
