What is your 1 rep max bench?

live2pump · 06-21-2005, 06:30 PM

I voted 450, but my max was 435 which went up pretty smooth. That was last year around this time, but I do not max anymore because injuries become more frequent. Most I'll do is rep 375 for 5-6 reps.

Age 26, 220 lb

PTYP · 06-22-2005, 07:52 AM

250 here

BIGDAVE · 06-22-2005, 05:20 PM

Last year i did just over 405lbs(pic in my gallery) but i'm reping higher this year so could maybe do more.

It's called power lifting and Olympic weight lifting....I don't do it but I certainly don't think its a waste of time. I think they are great sports and I respect those who compete in them.

I am 5'11" 184 lbs and I probably push close to 280-290 I voted 300 of course.

Yes I have noticed this problem, I believe it'e because I'm 15 and taking huge amounts of steroids.

154lbs ...i feel i can get 164lbs now but don't want to go for it becuase of my training regime.

themamasan · 09-07-2005, 09:09 PM

290-300 lbs for me. Which brings up a question I have always had. How much does your height affect your bench? I never did bench press when I was short, so don't know if it is that much easier or not.

MuscleM4n · 09-07-2005, 09:16 PM

interesting question...

i bench about 125% of bodyweight at 5'4" (very short and stumpy

) but that is only 154lbs so not that much in relative to heavyness.

**CowPimp** · 09-07-2005, 09:44 PM

I did 265 @ 185 pounds, and it went up pretty smoothly. It's going to be a while before I get back there after I finish rehabbing my shoulder. However, I am confident I will get even more going back. I have come to realize that I basically do a PL width close grip bench press when I bench. I think I could easily add some weight on just by widening my grip a bit.

37, 220lbs., 405 max.

Squaggleboggin · 09-13-2005, 12:01 PM

I can only bench about 210, but the lift in which I really excel is the deadlift. I can do 400+ with that. I also hope to get BW clean and press by Christmas.

LexusGS · 09-13-2005, 07:01 PM

I benched 195 two days ago. Yes, I know that sucks.

clemson357 · 09-13-2005, 08:36 PM

I put 300. I got 285 last week, this week I am going for 290 and I am fairly positive I will get it unless I am having an off day. I weigh 180 lbs.

TJ Cline · 09-13-2005, 09:31 PM

I thought it was still around 400 but to my dismay it is more like 365 .

juggernaut2005 · 09-15-2005, 12:38 PM

405 is the highest I go for bench presses and I get 4-5 reps on that.. guess for 1RM would be 475? IDK

Hello Var. Probably between $8 - $10k. Once my weight room is built, I'll pick up a couple of more machines. I'd like to get one of those seated lateral press machines. They run about $2k
