How much can you bench?

Soon I will be benching 120!!!
6'2", 260 lbs, current bench is 350 raw, but I am rehabbing a rotator injury so I do more DB work than anything else. I try to rep with 120's since that's all we have. Really good numbers being posted here by all y'all
Nice Sapphire.... You will hit 120 before you know it 
No way good lookin' you the beauty out of the group.Sapphire said:hey what about ME??? Aren't I a monster???
Good work with the benchin though, 120 will be there in no time!
I hope so... I try so hard. It gets frustrating. I am doing power week and benching again on Saturday. I am gonna force myself to do 1 rep at 100, with a spotter (of course) 120 seems so hard to me and GP gets mad at me when I get down about it, he doesn't think I should worry about the number as much as the fact that I am going to failure. It's actually a little embarassing at the gym, I swear I have NEVER seen another woman do a bench press EVER. All these big muscular guys (like YOU) slapping on 250 pounds and then there's me.... putting 2 25 pound plates on the bar. 
Although I will say ALL the guys there are sooo nice, they do not make fun of me at all, they actually compliment my efforts (sometimes) But I still feel embarassed. 
Oh and thanks for the compliment and encouragement!!!

I wish there were other women at my gym who benched.. the weight I do, ya know, LIGHT..... I don't even know what a board press is. 
I KNOW other women bench.... I just don't work out when they do, I guess.

The first time I stepped into a gym I could barely do 25s on each side. I was getting all embarrassed and shit, the same as you. Then my brother gave me some sage advice.
"You're not here for them, and they're not watching you. They're as unsure of what they're lifting as you are of what you're lifting. Now lift."
"You're not here for them, and they're not watching you. They're as unsure of what they're lifting as you are of what you're lifting. Now lift."
I see guys benching 25s all the time, and leg pressing 3 plates, hack squatting singles! A lot of the guys in the gym are either really skinny and short, dont train hard, or BOTH. There are a few that are larger and train hard, but many of them are just there going through the motions and like said, I see plenty of guys benching 95.
There was a short gal in there the other day benching 115 for reps, she was probably about 5'2" and pretty rail thin with a little muscle. The person I train with some days of the week (bench spotting and such) leg presses into the 500s, and then like I said there are guys in there walking around with ILS (imaginary lat syndrome) who are doing friggin 3 plates (leg press).
You are in the gym for yourself, nobody else.

Yeah Sapphy..
We all were beginners at one time. I think most guys could say that when they started out that the 130 pounds that many use as a warm up where tough. I could barely do 10 of them when I started. I was never much into benching. It was funny! (well maybe not) When I used to go to the gym there was a couple steroid women that could out bench me hands down. I would admit it was a little intimidating. I think they were doing like 200 or so at the time. But you could clearly see they were on steroids. I still was self conscious when I put on my little plates , I would look around first 
. Then I just started doing like 4-5 sets and adding weight each time. After about a year I was doing like 225 I think. Then my goal was 250. I was like you. I never thought I would hit that mark. But I just kept working my routine for mass and adding weight each time and pushing myself to do that extra rep or two with a spotter.. And now I am doing 250 about 8 times . I did 290 yesterday for my 1RM . Shooting for the 300 mark... very hard goal to achieve.

I hear ya.. I do. It just seems progress is so slow. But I am getting stronger, definitely I can do 80-85 for 8-10, 90 for 4. BUT if I go to 95, I am struggling to do ONE!!
Ya know what I hate, guys with big puffed out chest and skinny chicken legs... Their legs are skinnier than mine and I think mine are too small!!! I am 121 pounds!!! What are they thinking???
My legs are strong.. I squatted ATF 140 yesterday 6 reps, that made me happy at least !!

oh my god you are all amazing i am 16 and can only lift 40kg for as many reps as you want 45kg for 3 or 4 reps and 50 for literally 1 so my maximum is 110 pounds ?isn't it?
Ahhhh come on now Mudge, you can admit you were lifting 300lbs at 10 reps while @ age 11. 
(Don't be modest!).
(Don't be modest!).
Here is Mudge after a small adverse reaction to the hormone treatment @ age 12.
Just kidding Mudge..
We all respect you here my friend.
We all respect you here my friend.
5'10'' 185 lbs. 1RM is 295. I was about to go hit the gym for a chest workout until I saw Mudge's video so i think ill go cry in the corner. J/K man, your a beast
Yeah I think I can almost match him on the dumbbell tricep pullovers...
I'm doing 90 15 reps really easy, but ran out of bar for dumbell weights. I'm sure I could do 130 for 8-10 reps at a gym, but I won't say till I do it. Now for all the other stuff, hell I can't come close to Mudge.. He's got me 100 on the bench and won't talk about the rest

wow mudge, just watched a few clips, nice
clips?myCATpowerlifts said:
I'm an idiot, sorry.
Hey mudge how did Randy get that picture? I thought you had an exclusive with the animal planet... 
Saphy don't worry what others think. I see girls in my gym all the time but none of them do anything, I've seen 2 girls actually bench press and squat in my gym. I give them tons of respect and I comment on them all the time....sure I'm trying for their numbers but thats besides the point. Just go in there and rip those weights up before you know it your gonna fly past 120 and set a new goal. I got faith in ya.
Hell I remember when I started I couldn't even do the damn bar. For the longest I had to do dumbells b/c the OLY bar was to much for me. Once I got to BB Benching I added some weight then I screwed my left cuff up and it was all down hill from there. Slow recovery and light lifting for me after a month off. Its only now that I feel comfortable with benching again thanks to mudge and have beaten my last record of 135 LMAO. I got 165x4 about a month ago but havn't done it again. I hope to do it monday and see if I improve any. Ultimate goal is to match some of you genetic freaks lol.
