Im 31 and back when I grad. high school at 19- I weighed 220 and did 225 for 47 reps ---did 315 for 16 reps and Im about 240 now and would be lucky to get 225 for 20 reps---Im in much better shape now and overall stronger but back then I concentrated on the bench, now I can squat more and i have alot more dense muscle. | ||

Damn. You bastards are strong. I'm 210 with fairly long arms, I can go 225 for 12 or 13 on a good day, so I'd say I could 210 for at least 15. A guess. ------------------ | ||

Yeah that was back when my form sucked and was on anadrol and test ---it was my second cycle----but as soon as I went off the anadrol my bench dropped like 80 Pounds----i remember back then getting 315 for 15 on a given day and 3 weeks later having problems getting it for 6 reps( young and dumb ---those old american a-bombs =awsome=syntex2902)boy have times changed> | ||

I have to comment as well and say that 47 reps on 220 is just incredible. | ||

the MOST I have ever heard someone doing 225 for was actually Ronnie Coleman - seems like it was 73 but dont quote me. It was in the 70s though. Pretty awesome. At the arnold classic last year they had an exhibition where a cop did 405 for 27 reps!!! His goal was between 30 and 40 but he got hurt at 27. Pretty crazy... ------------------ | ||

"Yeah that was back when my form sucked and was on anadrol and test ---it was my second cycle----but as soon as I went off the anadrol my bench dropped like 80 Pounds----" Yeah, the funny thing about Anadrol is that my leg strength and pulling strength didn't go up alot, but my pressing strength went through the roof. I think the water retention really helps with leverage there. | ||

Belial, 175 for 20 only equates to a 225? That doesnt sound right... ------------------ |
