I'd like to add to your question bro, how many times do you train your chest a week? i normally do 2 but am beginning to think i could get better gains doing it only once and working it to total failure 300 is amazing. top drawer mate | ||

This ought to get good! After reading the "post your stats" a week ago I realized how full of shit most of the people here are. Everyone claimed to have the same stats as the pros yet when you go to every gym in the US you only see a handful of people that are 5'8" 230 and 6%. But they all happen to hang out here at elite. I bet 95% of the guys here are normal looking guys with better than average muscle development. ------------------ | ||

Im not really sure.. In my last workout I did 295 for 10 pretty easy.. so I would guess Im right around 400... I train chest once a week..I'll switch up incline benches and flat benches from month to month..then I also do weighted dips..only 3 sets of each... | ||

295 for 10reps doesn't put you at 400. I did 305 for 7 reps and it came out to be like 369, so you are probably close to me. Peace | ||

Lots of impressive weights on the bench but I have not seen anything special for squats or dead lifts. I squated and dead lifted more than anything mentioned above at 18 and at 195lbs.Not a flame guys but i find those to lifts to be more impressive than the bench press. | ||

I never do flat bench, just incline and decline (and other chest sets). Flat bench hurts my shoulder too much. I really don't give a shit what I can bench anyhow. Used to care, don't anymore | ||

6'1 (1/2) 230lbs bf 13 or so don't know why but the bench is not my strongest exercise. hurts my shoulders. I rekon I could probably top about 200 right now. Chest should only be worked once a week natural right? (benching I mean) | ||

Darkstar and Seifer....thank you for being honest. I do mostly flyes and db movements for chest, on bench I top out around 250. My chest looks good and I really don't care about having a "strong" bench. I'm a bodybuilder not a powerlifter. ------------------ | ||

My best is 405 with a bench shirt and 375 without a shirt at a body weight of 190. But I'm a powerlifter, so I train for strength. | ||

I was never a good bencher. I stopped doing flat bench about 2 years ago because it hurt my shoulder girdle too much. I got up to a 300lbs one rep max while weighing about 190lbs but pretty fat. Now I do only inclines and declines. Incline Dumbell Press I did 105lbs for 8 reps last week. ------------------ | ||

My best is 315 for one. I think I have a lot of room to improve. Arms are only 15". MOst of weight is in my legs. Here is a link to a softball page of mine that has a bench calculator. It helps you determine what your one rep max is with out having to do it. http://www.geocities.com/Colosseum/Stadium/1292/ | ||
