someone told me ronnie did it 76 times lol

never understood the bp test at the NFL combine
you'd think they'd do something more along the lines of clean and jerks
seems more applicable to f-ball
 
Dunno.....I dont do flat benching anymore.


I usually do the 100-105's on incline presses for 6 or so

what about you bro?
include bodyweight

i'm 210 right now but never repped 225 more than 10 times, not because i couldn't but just because i was sticking to a program

i've always been weak in bench, fact is i don't care about benching 300lbs, i'm more concerned with looking like i can bench 300lbs

although 40lbs over your bodyweight for 12 reps is nice

question is, did you earn it by working your ass off or simply walk in and try your natural strength?
 
Before I fucked up my shoulder I repped it 13x.
I feel like I should be doing that with inclines after all the grueling hours put in.

no natty strength here my friend.
about 8 yrs of heavy hitting.
progress has slowed for me though.
 
I got 4 @ 185 lbs bodyweight. I don't know about now, I screwed my shoulder a year ago, and if I try to go heavy it gives me troubles.
 
225x12 don't seem bad at all. i can understand wanting more, depending on how long you've been doing it. as for me, approximately -20 times right now.
 
not sure at this point in time..but I can incline 225 for 10 and military press 225 for 5..bringing the bar all the way down to the top of my chest..none of that half rep crap....i havent flat benched in like 2 years..so my incline is probably stronger right now.. :worried:

less than your fat ass.













lolol, you aren't going to be my friend after today are you?
 
Somewhere between 15-20 reps. I'm about 202-205lbs and 5'8". I never tried to rep out 225 til failure. I usually go 135x12, 225x10,then my next 2 sets are to failure and I do 315x6-10, 335x4-6.

funny that the nfl uses that as a strength test
 
I agree they should do clean and press.

I have never really tried to see how many i can do. The most i have done is 12 with 225lbs
but I have also done the same with 275lbs

i usually keep my reps around 3-5 though.

did you see how many i did. it was like one thousand and something.

true

compromising form is pretty dangerous for deads

you have to establish a cadence when repping like that. that alone is a test. because, like you said, one move out of rhythm and you're walking around like Fred Sandford.
 
12 is no problem, i think i could get around 14 probably.

im a little fatter and shorter and weigh more than u tho

I bet I could do that. My last DL day, I did 315 50 times in 8 sets.

As far as the bench thing, I could probably get 10-12, but I don't touch it to my chest because of shoulder issues.
 
i'm not the bench king. . .i can do it 10 to 12 times. . .my body weight is currently around 220. . .

one of my training partners is 280. . .tall. . .long arms. . .did 225 48 times. . .he's a freak of nature. . .

shorter is good for bp
shorter overall=typically shorter arms
shorter arms+a little gut fat=less distance the bar has to travel
but short arms goes against you for dl'ing
 
I've done 225 for 27 from chest to locked out and no bounce. Also did 15 pause reps with a once second pause on the chest. I weighed about 240 at the time.

I did 18 the other night after my heavy sets as a cool down but I'm 310lbs right now.

Cheers,

so the equalivent for me, weighing around 185, would be bp'ing 100 lbs 18 times.
i could do that :)

First you'd have to do 200 for two sets of five, 225 for 5, and 250 for two then doe the 100 18 times.

I went 315 x5, 335x5, 365x2 315x5 then 225x18. Not including the warmup.

do you have somebody spotting you scots?
i bp in the rack, set the pins a little below my chest

I'll do 315 with no spot but any heavier and I like getting a liftoff so save my shoulders a bit of wear and tear. I usually have the kids I train at the gym spot me or my brother when we lift together.

I don't do barbell bench anymore. Tore a rotator years ago and switched to dumbells. Hit 105s 1x7 on incline last week. Also hit 245 1x5 for close grip when working tris. As to how this would equate to 225 1x? I dunno...
 
I can hit 225 about 15 times...I like to be strong, but train mainly for looks! Go low reps when my ego gets in the way....but when repping out, it's my shoulder and/or tri's that give out before my chest....frustrating b/c I know I have so much more left in my chest....but I guess you're only as strong as your weakest link
 
cant do flat bench, something pinches under my pec.

i stick to incline, last time i did 220 i got 4 reps unassisted, at a bw of 165 (last week) then put it down as i didnt have a spotter and didnt want to get pinned like a toss
 
At my best it was 245x8 on incline so I'd have to guess maybe 12-13 with 225? Currently I'm doing close gripped incline and can get 225x3....:(
 
200lbs 6'0, 34 yo,
225x12 average when doing chest once a week,
best was 18 reps. right now doing 315x5 reps.

incline db 105x6-8 reps
incline bench 225x8

working out with a new training partner last 3 months have helped. more focused on legs for now to bring them up and stronger.
 
Not sure.
I start with incline then do flat.
At the end of my chest routine I usually bang out 225 any place from 15 to 25 reps.
 
On the internet, probably about 50 times. No let's say 60.

in reality no idea. Haven't benched for months.

This is basically me. I weigh 215lbs 5'9" and can do 225 between 15-20 reps. probably closer to 20 reps. I don't find 225 to be hard and consider it a warm up set for myself now.
 
Well, 225 is my warmup for the flat bench....I do it 30-40 times depending on the day. A friend of mine stopped by one day who didn't believe I could do it 40x so I proceeded to rep out 42 and his reply, "I'll be impressed when you can do fifty." LMAO@ hatorade...:)
 
Before I ripped my pec, 27. Now I do 200 lbs on the machine bp for 10 reps with my right hand and 160-170 lbs with the left hand.

lol, you should definitely add some serious incline benching bro if your not doing that already...it will add 10-20% to your flats.

I will second that. You can get your incline up a lot higher than most people think.

When my flat was in closing in on 500, I was easily inclining over 400.

I know for a fact the heavy incline work had something to do with it.

meh, I am only in the mid 4s on flat max right now. Incline is maybe mid 3s max.

I was inclining in the cage at the time (I was PLing and competing-those were my raw lifts), I haven't done those numbers for like 2 years, things have been up and down (since I moved to boston) - extenuating circumstances

Things are slowly getting back though. You are here in boston too right?

We should meet up to lift sometime. My gym gets fucking annoying.
 
Those are great numbers bro, esp. as you move away from powerlifting, I am more of a bodybuilder, so I try to keep leaner...I finish with 315 on flat day and 275 on incline day...

I pm'd you other meet-up info.
