How many times can you do 225 on flat bench??

simple question, simple answer.

I tried tonight for the first time and managed exactly 20.

If we are talking slow movement and coming all the way down to your chest with out bouncing it, or arching your back then probably 10.

If you do proper reps, 20 is really impressive.

I'd rather do 185 properly then try and do 315 by cheating.

50! 5 sets of 10...

 

[Blkout]

I can do it 14 times for very slow controlled reps.

That's my plateau at the moment. I can do 3 sets of 10.

Actually I usually go right past right angle on chest. For some reason my flexibility has suffered lately and it kinda hurts to go down to hitting the bar on my chest. I don't know if this makes things harder or easier on me.

A friend of mine with a physiology degree told me that the pectoral isn't active past 90 degrees, so you're only creating shoulder problems by going down "all the way" or too far.

Anyone have input on this??

I can get 10-12 with good form
