Bench ? - Is 245 alot?

[jstrong20]

Well if your a powerlifter that would be a shitty bench but if your a bodybuilder it does't matter that much and 245lbs. for your bw is deicent. Besides I know a guy that is about 220lbs. lean and only does 315lbs. but he is swole and into bb so it doesn't matter that much. I will say though even though I'm in it for the looks, moving more weight and setting new records still feels great.

not bad for your weight

I believe peak strength for one rep occurs somewhere in a guys 40's-50's. I can't remember where I learned that but more than once I've heard it.

Holy Sh@t what a response! Re: Bench ? - Is 245 alot?

I am 5' 8', I now weigh 170 after 3.5 weeks of Primo Only. I have added 20 lbs to my max on bench. What should I be benching at my stats? How much will I be benching at the end of my cycle? I put on 7 lbs in 3.5 weeks. This seems really strange. I heard I would only gain 7-10lbs from primo only. I am doing primo 400Mg per week. Any ideas . . .

You guys take your posts seriously. I was looking for some help and started a holy war. I am not trying to "boast" about my max. I know it is not a lot. I have been lifting for 10 months and was wondering what would be a good place for me to be. I have a 28" inch waist before juice and have gone to a 29" waist in my weight gain. I have lost most of my six pack and hope to get it back after lean out stage. Just looking for some tips.

Just FYI, the world record bench press for the 165-pound division if 564 and the 181 class is 600 even. The best of the best.

You want to be a strongman do your flat benching.....

You want to be a bodybuilder get on the incline bench.....

Chances are most guys would have a hard time doing just half the amount on a incline that they do on a flat bench.

Well im 5'7 185 and finished my second cycle of a test and my bench went from 335x3 to 405x3 between my two cycles my bench only dropped 10 pounds

I would definately shoot myself......

bench

i've done 405 before i ever did a cycle. my bodyweight was 220, with 14% bodyfat. some people are just strong at certain lifts. if your goal is to look good, who cares what you bench? if you're a powerlifter, well.....you're gonna lose a lot of contests

I would kill myself if I could only bench 115lbs.

rofl...you wanna laugh?

some dude in my gym got stuck under 95 pounds the other day. the place was kinda empty so i had to run over and give him a hand. god i felt so bad for him. he definetly went home and killed himself.
