34yrs old, 260lbs, 360 bench. Not much for flat benchpressing but I just maxed last week for a reference point. Goal is 400 by November.

Tough Old Man · 06-20-2005, 04:08 PM

No can do anymore. torn rotator cuff. I use 100lb DB's now. Would use heavier but that's all my home gym has. Hell 5lb DB's to 100lb Db's in increments of 5 cost me $1100 plus tax. At .60 a lb not sure if i want to buy 105's on up. 2-105's is $126 plus tax.

I hear ya T.O. Man...I avoid the flat bench like the plague...maybe once every 2 weeks at the MOST only because Im thinking of entering a powerlifting contest in November...several guys from my gym are training for it. Im happy doing dumbbells. Ours go up to 140's and 3 of us are thinking of going in together and buying some bigger ones.

Are your's in a gym. I live in Baja and there are no gym's around here. So i had to make up my own home Gym from scratch. I can't complain though. I have a lot of equipment here. Here's a list

Home built Bar dip pullup station
Smith machine with Cable attachments
Seated shoulder press machine
Hip sled with reverse Leg Press
Eliptical and treadmill equipment
2100 lbs in Db's
2500 lbs oly Plates
Mirrors to stare at myself in....I really like that

I need a bench shirt/wrist wraps, and be allowed to do it with no pause... so some people might not count that.

And the shirt I had on when I hit 520 was my double stiched Inzer that has been fitted to my body, so it helps out alot.

Takes me atleast 10 minutes to get that damn shirt on.

The guy I lift with is stronger anyways.

W/ a little encouragement, I may have hit 275... the 265 went up 1st try...
If I got 280, could I then claim 300 in the poll?

Are you natural Watts ? that is a great bench for 18 at 220 class...You might be able to set a state record with 350-400 at 220..look into it. In MI I think the 220 BP record for 18-19 is 390 or 400 Raw.

WATTS · 06-20-2005, 09:10 PM

yes im natural, the only supplement im taking is protein. once i got my diet into check this year ive been making increadible progress. my goal is to hit 405 pounds by the end of summer...about 3 months or a little less so ive got to kick everything up a knotch...or two.

o ya, and Foreman i just put my first pic up so check it out..(it was back in Jan. 2005...a month before i turned 18) but it will give you an example of where i stand. i need to take recent pics tho. but until then check out the one i put up.

MattBennett4532 · 06-20-2005, 09:23 PM

YOOo whats up im matt im 14 years old trying to go pro in boybuilding IFBB style... i max out 260-270lbs so i jsut put 300 because it sounds cooler i love you! lol i do overdose the aminos and creatine and shit and my arms dont have far to go so thats cheap id say if my arms were longer i wouldnt be benching as much ill update pics sometimes

TriZZle305 · 06-20-2005, 10:54 PM

I thought we were only rounding 10? sounds like everyones rounding 30-50... and i couldve swore it said RAW.. so the bench shirt has gotta go!

TJ Cline · 06-21-2005, 05:07 AM

I just want to apologize to Lam who claims to bench 87 lbs over the Raw natural world record...sorry buddy...this poll is just for us armature weight lifters. Go and set the power lifting world on fire champ.

I will do a 500-800 poll next so you can strut your stuff.

I was only asking if I could claim 300...

And raw... Does a t-shirt count?

I think yesterday I was right around 275...

So would 280 be past the 1/2 way point, to 300??

I didn't try the 280 so by the poll I am still @ 250

825 for 27. That was on a bad day.

snoogans · 06-21-2005, 07:23 AM

I've been doing triplets of 215 so I'd say my max is about 230.
I'm 26 and weigh 170.

HardTrainer · 06-21-2005, 07:27 AM

i can bench 325lbs at the moment

largepkg · 06-21-2005, 08:31 AM

I don't think what I can bench is relevant.

Now penis size, that's a good poll!
