how many times your body weight can you bench?? Natural and on gear??

In the real world, benching is about useless unless you drop transmissions without a jack. It also favors the shorter guys more than any other exercise for biomechanical reasons.

Now the shorter guys will stage an outcry.

True, but there is a formula that they use at powerlifting events so you can equally compare a 5'5 150 guy's bench and a 6'2 240 guy's bench. I'll see if I can find it.

My bench on and off cycle is 265x8 and 300x1. My only lifts that go up any significant amount on/off cycle are my shoulder presses and squats.

I'm 5'5 178 13%.

I don't bench anymore since I kept hurting my shoulder, but 8 years ago (the last time I was able to seriously bench) I could do 300 at 5'10" 180lbs, so 1.67

BTW, like Test boy said, why would anyone give a turd?

this isn't a training discussion... it's just trying to do a study on guys who are on gear and how much they do compared to guys who aren't.

it's kinda funny cuz no one polled that they were on gear.

Whoever made the comment about benching being useless in the real world sits behind a desk. When you are physical like me, I can definetely tell a "big" difference when I haven't worked out for a while. It also helped me get this big fat chick off of me the other night at the bar. Man she was persistent. Next time ill take "free night at the waffle house" coupons with me and just hand them out instead of getting slobbered all over and physically challenged.

i wonder if it's possible that eveyone who frequents this board could take part in this poll?? Could an admin make this a sticky??

 

[duritz]

so only one guy admits he is on gear??

 

[duritz]

i'll bump this sucka!!!
