How much are you bench pressing? I've only just started, (well a few months ago) and i wanted 2 know how i was doing. My 1 rep max is now 180lbs how am i doing?
 
At the moment I am benching 295 pounds in my fourth and final set , 6 reps.
 
The general rule i have been told is - if you can bench press your body weight for 3x10 reps then your doing very well !

you get past the shoulder pain.
i do
225x12 warmup
315x9-10
275-12
315-8-9
275-10
315-7-8
275-8
etc. you get the picutre. i do this on mondays until i cant do any more all the way down to 0 reps
 
Isn't that way too many sets? :scratch:
 
I am probably one of only a few who are regularly below 6 sets (for flat benching) but I see he keeps on going, to me that would be way too many sets. Thats a nice 410 max or so though.

As long as you keep progressing you are doing great!! Don't compare yourself to others...only yourself.

I don't have any recent pics. I rarely ever take pics unless I am getting ready for a competition.

My first post. But I am using 130lb. DB for 8 reps.
 
im 6'3 250lbs and bench 450 but some days im very inconsistant and i cant lift anything due to left shoulder pain. You would think i would be pain free because my girlfriend has a doctrait of physical therepy. Very weird! Oh and having long ass arms for bench press sucks i want a 5'7" guys arms on my body id be able to do a ton more:rocker:
