for those of us that like to max bench to see where we are at how much can everyone do ? 1 rep 3 reps or however you do it....also list height weight and BF...
I guess i will start today i did 265x1 and that was a personal best , i know thats not shit for alot of you but for me thats an improvement of 25 lbs in about 3 months...Thanks to 702DASWOOLL1 for the help so far...
Im 6 ft 205lbs and about 13-14 % BF....

I'm in your boat pretty much. I'm 6'2", 215 ish and did 275 nice and clean, but just missed at 300. This was this summer. I've never been good at bench or squat, so I think I'll be pretty glad to get 300+ on the bench.

Damn, that's a pretty good bench! Powerbuilder, I'm impressed with yours as well! I always like seeing tall guys be able to bench, gives me hope!

On the wrist thing, I've got these harbinger brand gloves my dad was cool enough to get me for Christmas when I was 15 or so. They are old, but still work great, they have a long wrap that is attatched to the glove and velcroes around the wrist. They work great, very handy.

These days I don't bench to maximum much. Currently doing 250 x 10 for 3 sets and am thinking my best single lift would be around 325.

When I was younger I was always going to a single max. It was all part of the fun of going to the gym. We had some local contests back then and my best lift in contest was was 202KGS (445lbs) as this was when I was living in Australia. I had done 450 in training but this was a long time ago now.

425 is my best
455 close, but couldn't lock it all the wat out
225x46 My most reps with this weight

 

[chaos13]

300lbs for 5 reps.

felt good, and felt big

Why is it the BENCH is always used as a measurement for test of strength ( I've done 900 lbs x 22 reps x 10 sets by the way) Why not parallel legal squats? Or true Deads.... that is strength to me.... a good, reasonable bench is fine... but the KING and Queen of all exercises should be the measurement...maybe Ill start a new thread.
