How much can you bench?

250 lbs. weighing in at 150, oddly enough i am now weighing in at about 20 more pounds and i bench less.
 
cant we all get along? sheesh :headbang:
frankly greg, i dont see the big deal in what someones signature says. do you think his sig is gonna cost bush the election? i seriously doubt it, bush already lost the election imo all by himself :D
this thread is about bench pressing and you come off with a political war. i mean :wtf: :attitude:
 
5'11" - 197 - 205 :(

I just back into lifting after.... ten years away, sooooo, I am happy with the 205 after the first 3 weeks, but it is coming back fast.
 
My sad face was because I dont think its a good lift for me personally. Once I can rep 260 I'll be happy :thumb:

No LOL ... but ask your doc about growth plates and tell him/her you wanna lift. Come back and tell us what you learn ... it will help out people here a great deal.:D :thumb: :thumbs:
 
I started lifting at 11 years old and am taller than my father (6'2"). IMO there is no basis in reality as to someone being short via lifting, now when steroids were readily available to people then yes, now we see a problem because people playing with their hormones at a young age can cause premature closure of the growth plates.

Picking up a heavy object repeatedly does not do this.
 
Growth plates and weight training is a myth, based on lies and ignorance. Stop buying into the hype and grab some texts on the human body.

Yeah I have talked to some people about that, one of the guys at my gym is a doctor and he says its a myth about all that. (I'm short anyway.) Well he said it's good to start early and i should keep it up, I've been lifting since I was 9.
 
Hey easy on me ... I just asked the kid to look in to it and share. I've heard it both ways from people that told me a friend that was a doctor said :blah: :blah: :blah: and that is getting kinda :zzz: :zzz:. The BEST thing for the youngster is to have his doc brought into the loop and give hime his advice. It would be nice to see the post here too but that is not as important as the doc's advice getting to the kid. How is this a bad plan?
 
Alright sry but also I have mentioned it to my doctor, he didn't say theres anything wrong with it. I've really only been to told to stop by skinny kids dads i beat in wrestling. Since their kids can't keep up and are too lazy to lift they're always tellin me its bad and ill get short and all that crap.
 
I'm up to 145!

:thumb: I'm glad your doc is in the loop then. We can help tune up your diet, your technique, what kind of training to do and a million other things but only your doc knows what is healthy for YOU. :D

It may occur to anyeone who reads my posts a lil better that I never told the lil future MR. Olympia not to lift or that growth plates were an issue. I figured someone would and got him to talk to his doc first. Just being a lil pro-active here ...

Laterdrop if you really want to get into this then start a journal so we can all get in with ya. You will get a greater focus on what you need than in this thread. Mention your age in the title of the thread and more people will drop in to say hello and give some helpful encouragement.

Always a good idea to double check, indeedy.
 
235 for 2 yesterday and i weighed 168.
 
My max right now is about 300 pounds exactly. When I work out, I hardly ever have a spotter. If I had one, I'm sure my bench would be over 320 by now. :(

I bench 135-140... and I'm proud of it :). I gain tons of size from lifting but virtually no strength.

Okay, I figured this thread was geared toward the guys but seeing as my maxium bench is the same as the above I'm posting it too! ;)

Ps. Hmmm... what's up with the hand down the pants av and what are you looking at?
 
It's been many years since i max. out so i tried it thru. i got up to 405 i didn't try any more because i had my wife spoting me. I'm in cloud 9 that is my best ever. Alot of work and years for that i'm as happy as a clown. I also got my squat best too.
 
wow shit thats a good lift bullred! 405 not bad at all.
 
Thanks, gizmo i've been lifting for many years it's nice to have some reward. NOt that it's a record lift or something ,but for me it is. But thanks for the nice thread gizmo.
 
your welcome and good luck with the plates bullred! train you ass off =D

Hey Mudge how hard and how often did you lift weights when you were 11?
 
I quit and re-started many times. My first weight set was a 104 set, and I crushed myself on the bench with it. I believe my bench was maybe 85/90 pounds or so. I put a bunch of weights on a dumbell (the handles slide off) and would do sets between commercials to help get me started. Of course I had little idea what I was doing but I started getting magazines now and then around that time. I have been pretty consistent for the last 3 years with the longest off-time being a 6 week stint which took me months to bounce back from.

I had been interested in lifting before that, as my barber was a national competitor (and was his wife), and one of my friends dad was a lifter.

So I'd be good for a few months, then lose motivation, then go back to it and so on.
