I had a bet with a friend today whether I could bench my body weight. I weigh 167. I put 135 on the bar and it felt a little shakey but it wasn't too bad. Then 155 and it was heavy but I was able to do it cleanly. Then time came for me to try 170. Well it was tough but I managed to do it after almost getting stuck about 1/2 off my chest. He said I would have gotten disqualified in a competition because one side of the bar was higher than the other and I also had my ass off the bench. Anyway, I tried 175 and got buried he had to lift the weight off my chest and onto the rack. Oh well. Just wondering how much people here can bench. Its tougher than I thought!

I maxed out again a week ago
335 on the flat bench
235 on the incline

I have been doing a chest workout that my Italian friend Nucio gave me. What you do is start with a good weight that you can do 10 reps with. When your done with hte 10 reps you sit up and watch the clock for 20 seconds then you do another set but this time you do as many reps as you can to failure. Then you sit up again and wait 20 seconds and do another set again of as many as you can to failure. These 3 sets together equal 1 set. You add more weight and do the process again doing it 3 times or 3 sets. 3rd set you should have more weight than the 2nd.
If you do this you must work through the pain and you will grow and get strong quickly. 8-9 weeks ago my flat bench max was 305

Oh i forgot i weight 221lbs. I've leaned out a lot but haven't lost weight

I stopped doing max sets about a year ago. At the time:

Weight: 158lbs
Max: 280lbs (2 reps)

Now I weigh 173lbs and I have been running/working out like a mad man for Marine Corps OCS. I do sets of 12-10-8 starting with 220lbs; adding 10 per side until I end up at 260lbs. I work out my chest on mondays... Maybe I will go at my max again Spotter... Anyone?

Posted by aslowdodge (Member # 854) on :
 
A few years back I was at my prime when I weighed 210 and benched 385 single and 225 for 34 reps, all touching my chest and not halfway down reps like most people do nowadays.
Now I really feel my age and am 10 lbs fatter and the last time I benched I could only muster 3 reps at 335. Joints hurt a lot more often so I am benching less and using lower weights. I'll leave all the heavy lifting to you youngins.
So I am curious, is halfway down not touching the chest considered a full rep? I have seen lots of guys put up weight and go halfway down and i am certain if it touched their chest, it would stay there till someone pulled it off. I do notice it is all the 20 year olds and younger doing it. Are they doing it for ego or are they actually teaching to go halfway down in PE in high school? Perhaps a safety issue for joints?

It kinda varies on a few things, one being the persons height. And another being what is called "time under tension". There are certain exercises where if you extend your self to much you are actually no longer working the targetted muscle group but another. Bench is one of those. And I mention height because a shorter person would have a less wider grip. Which means at some point their triceps are exerting more. Which is not bad but as you can imagine the more another group fires the less the other does. Also some folks like to bounce the bar off their chest letting momentum carry the weight up. By ending the motion before physical resistance (your body) you are actually controlling the weight better (it could be argued, but thats the theory). Also ther e is a range before you are actually moving your joints in a un-natural way by hyper-extending or extending too far. Case point locking the elbows while benching. I see people doing this all the time. That actually puts un-natural strain directly on the elbow joint. Lifting is supposed to mimic life movements. Not contort the body to work a muscle group.

So in a nutshell it depends on what works for you. I have long ass arms so I dont go to my chest all the time. I used to be in sports medicine prior to becoming a programmer.

I should have never made this post. Its pissing me off. So far I am the WEAKEST person here. WTF! And here I thought most of you were skinny high school dorks! I can bench 170 with it touching my chest for 3 seconds then lifting it up after that. I was trying to do a competition style bench so that there would be no issue as to whether I lifted it. I'm sure some of you bench bounce that shit sky high off your chest. Maybe a bounce contest? Anyway, I can do 170 competition style so I can bench my body weight but not much more.

Its all about proper form, bouncing off your chest is cheating.

Yeah, it kinda cracks me up when I see people bounce of the chest hella hard as if they think they are hella stronger that way or something and acts all aggressive after doing the set. Also cracks me up when people can't really push the weights they stack in the barbell so they lift the the weights of the rack then brings it down 4 inches from the starting point and 12-15inches away from the chest.

Theres some kids that come in my gym and they put 225 on the incline and they only bring it down an inch! They're arms are the size my wrist, its hilarious!

5'5", 175 and i typically max out around 270. i say typically because i really haven't lifted much in the past couple months as i've been rehabbing my left shoulder which was dislocated last december. for me, putting up big numbers for my size is just a byproduct of working out and never really a main goal. i play a lot of sports so i pretty much workout for the sake of becoming better at those sports.

Yeah but not like Sylvester Stallone...hehe

I see guys all the time at the gym that don't have any muscle definition or even look like they work out that much but can lift a pretty good amount of weight.

---

LOL Stallone looks Nasty, i don't want my veins to look like worms under my skin. I just want the big arteries to show more, when i am lifting is when all my other veins can show

All you have to do is diet and cardio and you can lose your fat.

I haven't had any alcohol, pasta or rice since since 3/1 and I can actually see a big change in my body. I've also been doing 20 minutes of cardio and walking a lot at work every day. I still haven't lost any weight but can see fat dissapearing little by little.

There are alot of good combo's of over the shelf supliments that will give you the drive at the gym, I know when I am going throuhg my off months I take something along the line of ephedrine or major energy boost that will force me to work out when I dont want to.

It sucks though because a girl benched more than that right next to me while I was benching. Talk about embarrassing. She even looked over at me and smirked with a little laugh. Bitch! My first goal is to do a plate and a quarter on each side for 185. Then I'll shoot for 225. I'm at 170 right now. What exercises should I do to help my bench? This guy told me to do legs to increase my bench but I don't get it. Why do legs to help the bench? Anyway, just wondering what I can do to improve my sorry bench.

I didnt cheat. I wasnt in any competition or playing any sports where I would have any type of advantage because of how I chose to work out. Different people have different goals... my goal was to get bigger, put up heavy weight in a short period of time.
