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

[JD Slim]

I like to see that some people still think about endurance as a stable part of benching.

I've never realy tried to max out for reps , I can usualy get 25-35
as the last set and as a burn out on flat bench.
We have a little bet going at the gym on wether I'll hit 225 for 50
HONEST reps or 525 for one HONEST rep , I personaly think that the heavy weight will come the fastest.

(posing) I can do 1 rep on a Soloflex with 2 people spotting me.

Maybe 2 reps if I take my gold chains off.

How'd you tear your pec bro?

Doing heavy declines(405) but the real problem was that i did a heavy chest workout 3 days before that one and that one was meant to be a light day..I've had the surgery and am now back repping with 2 plates on flat and incline. I'll just never go real heavy again.

simple question, simple answer.

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

Back in the day when I was competing in bench pressing competitons (way back, like 10-12 years ago), the gym I was working out in held a bench press competition. 30 lbs over your body weight for as many as you can get, definately a little different than 1RM comps. My normal weight back then was around 165, I lost 9 lbs (was trying to get down to 155 to bench 185), but only managed to get to 156, rounded up meant I had to press 190. I came in second to some guy weighing in at like 230 *he was about 5'2"* and he pressed 270 for like 35 times.
Anyway, just a little different way to have a bench press competition.

I only do incline barbell press these days.

I don't like to discuss the weights I do on the Internet because it either looks like you are showing off or bullshitting.

incline is the way to go. i will still do flat about once a month but other than that i stick with incline.
