225 bench test

[Squaggleboggin]

The farther you have to move the weight, the harder it is to move. A taller person can be stronger, but he is at a mechanical disadvantage.

i guess that is what i was tryn to say.. basically im 6'5" so my max at 275 would be greater if i were shorter...if all other factors where the same except height?

Hey Troll, don't post on my threads with your bullshit. We all know you are some 15 year old geek with a 135 max bench.......now Fuck off.

I haven't maxed out in a while, but i think when i was on HIT and bulking like a mad man that I could probably hit 2-3 reps of 225. I figured since I hit 8 of 185 that my max bench would be something over 250.

Well, my second set consists of 185 for 8 reps and I max out at 235. I think you might be pushing it if you think you can get up over 250...But hey, everyone is different.

I can get 225 for 2-3. I wish I could do it as many times as some of you crazy bastards.

New PR today, 65 reps.

When I played ball in college we used to do this as part of our physical...along with 40 meter dash....verical jump.....I think the most I ever did was 27 my sophomore year....I 'd love to get back to that point.....today is my chest/tricep day....I may try it...I'm guessing I'll struggle to get to 20.

2 or 3 reps

I did 26 reps yesterday..that is a new personal record.

 

[Burner02]

nice going, pepper!
I can do that w/ 135...but not 225....yet...

"wouldn'tcha like to be a pepper too?"

 

[Pepper]

Thanks.

It is more than half mental, in my opinion. The burning makes you stop when you could keep going. That 26 was like cardio, i was huffing and puffing when I was done.

 

[Burner02]

I think I will do 100's tonight. (100 reps withing 5 sets) sounds nice and painful...

Some of you guys are in awesome shape to do that many. I can do about 3 or 4!

Honestly, I'd rather be in better shape, that is, less body fat!

I'd take 3 or 4 with a BF% around 10-12% anyday over my repping 20-25 with a gut!

 

[Pepper]

I did 10 reps at 315 lbs yesterday.

I know you don't give a shit, but I am proud of that. My chest hurts today.

 

[Burner02]

Gj, pepper....I'm not even gonna try 3 plates for a few more weeks....

 

[w00kie]

A friend of mine who was lifting at the MASC with me and numerous other people did 225 for 38 reps. He rarely benched and participated in the Olympic Lifts.
Here's his Profile, he is currently enrolled in his first year of college at MIT

Did this for the first time in 4 years, got around 27 reps...kind of lost count as the burn became a bitch..I will be doing one set of this on my off day every week and I'm excited to see how many I will be able to do by next month.

[CRASHMAN]

[GFR]

My goal is to hit 50 by the summer.

 

[Pedigree]

I've only tried it once, and 8 reps w/225 is my best.

 

[BigDyl]

Actually I'm pathetically weak, my best was something like 13 or 14.

[GFR]

Yeah, why?

Just wondered

The University of Wyoming has a nose guard that did it 48 times. The only reason I know this is I was talking to two of my former players who are redshirt frosh and they wittnessed it.
