Barbell Incline Press max

[GFR]

I am taking a few months off heavy Flat bench....due to extreme cramping...
Going to set some incline goals and want to know what is a good lift for this exercise. I did 315 on my fifth set for 2 reps, will try a 335 max in a few days.

 

[P-funk]

that is good! My best every was only 275. I am not much of a bencher.

 

[CowPimp]

Hell yeah that's good. I got 225 with a CG incline press when I was doing Westside a while ago. I probably could've got 235-245 with a wider grip, but nowhere near those numbers.

I did 315x3 and maybe could have had a 4th, that was a long time ago though. Very steep incline at my gym.

 

[WantItBad]

mines 250 but i put 225

You can see a little of the angle involved.

mudge = animal

wOW! that's awsome. My best ever was 185 for a single rep. I gotta get back into incline work, haven't done those in a long while.

Back in the day that I did a 500 lb bench I also did a 405 lb incline. I would say that these days I might only get 365 or so being that I don't train quite as heavy as I once did (just as intense, but not as heavy).

Back in the day I could do 585lbs for 1 solid strict rep. However, I do not think I could do that sort of weight anymore.

275.

 

[Mudge]

Thats what that is, yep. You can see also that was the handoff.

Oh, I thought you were spotting the guy while he was doing 275 LB curls.













j/k.

 

[BigDyl]

I put 275 but the most I've ever got is 260.

 

[PWGriffin]

I voted 275 but it's actually in between 225 and 275, prolly closer to 250

 

[BigDyl]

I would have voted 315 if I could get 276.

 

[min0 lee]

Most I ever did was 225 for 3 reps...no spot no hand off.

I think I'll start with inclines instead of flat.

 

[FenderBender]

I don't think I've ever tried to max out on incline......? nope never have.

315 X 6 but I usually don't go any heavier cause it bothers my shoulder.

Just hit 335 easily today and that was after 3 hard sets, hope to get 365 in the next month or two.

[jwg]

I'd voted 275, though it's prolly closer to 260, I'd guess.

 

[Ghost_Dog]

575 for 6.

 

[BigDyl]

Seriously though, what's up with all these people that have 455+ LB incline maxes.
