How much can you bench?

I agree, I didn't doubt that most of those high bench weight posts were lies. The thing is that only you as an individual knows the real truth. I can say I bench 500 here, but that wouldn't be giving me any satisfaction to lie. you hear of guys lifting over 400. Well you can almost guarantee most of those claims are from guys on steroids. I know for a fact that steroids can increase your bench by 100 plus pounds. If they are not on steroids then their body weight is high.
I worked out with a black guy that weighed well over 300 lbs and he benched 550 for like 2 reps I believe. I don't know if he was on steroids as he never mentioned it. And I didn't want to place an accusations
Then you get the people that drop down a figure from like 5 years ago when then may have happened to get a 1RM weight in
But for me I am not lying when I say my 1RM is 300. It seems to be a sticking point though, but I am going to get past it. It's funny though how sometimes you feel stronger on the bench than other times. I just need to pick my strong day to surpass my record

I have to agree!! When I did my first w/o in january of 2003, I pressed only the bar for 12 reps!! I am somewhat of a strong individual and grew really quickly...You have to remember that I was morbidly obese for most of my life and carried almost 350 lbs of bodyweight around on a daily basis at one point! Thats gotta build strenght to an extent! Then again, do you know of many people who go from 325lbs to 175 firm pounds within 2 years? I guess a bodybuilder was hiding underneath all that fat, alcohol and cigarettes for years!Randy said:
I cant lift 250 yet...Hope to within 40 days...Well 39 now!
Well good look Crazy...keep up the good work.
I wish you all the best on your goals.. especially the big 250

you sure do talk out of you ass a lot for a newbie to resistance training. for a lifetime athlete a 400 lb bench is not that hard to come by naturally.

Hah! Such irony. Check this out.
My wife tapes that cheesy soap opera "Days of our Lives" and watches it every night while she's lying in bed. Last night as she was watching it I couldn't help but notice a scene in which two main characters were in the gym having a casual conversation about their girlfriends as they were bench pressing. I didn't think anything of it at first, but at a second glance I realized they were doing way too much weight for their size. I mean, these guys (supposedly 21-years-old on the show) were benching a ton of weight for about ten reps while they were casually discussing their personal lives. They weren't even struggling to get the weight up.
I had her pause it so I could add up how much they were benching. To my surprise, it was 300 pounds! I even counted a few times to make sure I wasn't wrong. Two 45's, two 35's, two 25's, two 10's, four 5's, and two 2 1/2's! They were benching exactly 300 pounds for sets and weren't even straining to do it. In fact, they were talking about their girlfriends when lifting!
Obviously it was a fake 300 pound weight set. I found it pretty funny because the average house-wife who has never really worked out before doesn't understand how much weight that is. Especially to be doing sets of! Both of the guys lifting are pretty small and probably couldn't even bench 250 for one rep in the real world. I bet they were loving pretending to bench 300 for sets so easily on national television. It definitely made them look strong! Now if only they could lift that weight off camera and with real weights.

When I spoke of false posts regarding guys lifting 400+ pounds, when did I mention lifetime athletes? Naturally a lifetime bodybuilder that has been doing it for 10+ years would have a much easier time lifting 400+ pounds in a natural state then someone lifting for 1-2 years or less. What kind of analogy is that?
Secondly, you couldn't be denying my statement regarding steroid users being able to add 100 pounds to their bench? Come on now LAM, coming from a steroid user you can sit here and deny that a steroid user can't easily do this.
If you think that is talking out of my ass you can blow me Lam.
I may not have lifted for my complete lifetime, but that doesn't mean I don't know that steroids can boost ones strength dramatically. Not to mention that this information was not pulled out of my ass, but provided to me from people like Mudge that take steroids first hand. I've also been told by several other experienced steroid users that it is not uncommon at all to add 100 pounds to ones bench with steroids.
One thing I noticed about you LAM is you get far to defensive when someone mentions the word "steroid!" You need to lighten up bro. I'm just backing up a clear point that many lie about what they lift and many who are not lying about lifting big number 400+ pounds take steroids. I'm not naming any names, just making a blanket statement.. If you disagree with that then I think you better wake up and smell the coffee..

Did you ever play sports in college Randy ? Do you know how many guys in college who run track and play football can easily bench 400 lbs naturally? A lot because I was there and have seen it first hand. But you make a blanket statement saying that because people say they can bench 400 lbs that most of them must be using steroids.
And the reason why I get upset when "you" bring up steroids is the fact that you have admited time and time again about knowing nothing about them but yet you insist on constantly talking about them, it's fucking annoying as hell???
LAM
Don't try to make a circus out of my statement by changing my words and meaning.
Again, I simply was backing up a statement made that many (repeat many) people on the message board may be lying about their bench values. Hell, one in this thread already admitted to it. I'm not saying that MOST fall into this category.
Maybe I should rephrase my statement just for you LAM... Let me try this.
"Those on the board who post false values, know who you are!"
"Those who take steroids and lie about it, also know who they are!"
And again my point was that for those individuals, I don't understand how they can lie, and feel like they accomplished something that they really didn't do.
I'm sorry you that you misunderstood my point Lam.

Crazy,
Thanks, as I'm not here to place accusations. Why would I do that? I don't care personally who does steroids. Nor do I care if people are posting false number on the board. All my point was is that they are just hurting themselves by doing that, and don't see how people could get satisfaction from this. They know themselves whether it is true or not.
Man...I'm tired of this subject... I think it has been dragged into the ground.
How's the weather over there in Quebec Crazy?

Brrrrrrrrrrr you run in the ice? I admir you more all the time .
If you click on my link it will play Rocky for you I love that song. I recorded it so it can help me get through some of my sticking points
I am from California, the land of sunshine. Although have not had a great deal of it lately. It is starting to get cold over here too. My cold though must be much different than yours though. I get cold at about 50 degrees. I can workout in the back at 60 and feel pretty good once I'm warmed up by working out. I have been going for walks at night at 40 degrees and is not to bad with eskimo jacket on .
My relatives are all from West Virginia though. Last time I was there it was snowing, so I do know how that can be. We would always build a fire on the end of the road by the train tracks Was pretty fun. Then I was in Iowa once where it was minus 40 degrees.....Talk about cold. I had to go to the store so I would walk 5 minutes, then have to go into whatever business I passed by on the way to warm up . Once warm I would continue to the store about 5 more minutes, then walk into another business or store I did that all the way till I got to the destination. Felt like my ears were literally going to fall off. They hurt from the cold. That was the coldest weather I have experienced.

Right now its -15 celcius here...Im not sure what that is in farehnheit, but its way below freezing point...Sometimes gets to -40 C in january(with the windchill factor).
It should be illegal for people living in warm locations to tell freezing canadians about their nice weather!!lol

AHAH.. I posted I can Bench in the 420-450 range,and you bet your ass I can. I dont see what anyone would gain from bsing about there 1rm, and why would you want to? I also dont know why anyone would care if someone was Bsing? Does it make you feel weak if you read someone is stronger than you? It shouldn't. I wouldn't call every guy on here that says he can press 400lbs or more a liar .I dont eat that great all the time and I sometimes smoke pot .I have never used roids or anything beside GNC brand whey protein and a multi vitamin. No gay shirts,No strings or rods or magic potions of any kind, and I can Bench well into the 400lb range so WOOPEE FREAKIN Do!

Um, how much do you weigh? Anybody who can bench over 400 pounds is damn impressive. Shit, anyone who can bench 100 pounds over their own body weight is impressive to me.Warren[BigW] said:I was making a point.

Don't feel bad Snoops... I hit 300, but much more than that and I crash.snoops said:
This has been my sticking point too for some time now. It seems once you reach that point it is hard to get past it... I am continuing to try though. I have confidence I will do it... just a matter of a bit more time. One thing I found for me is I started doing benching twice a week instead of once that I had done in the past. I feel like I am getting stronger. I will see though within the next 3-6 months how I progress.

Funny, I got stuck at 295, too. Maybe it's a mental thing. Almost every time I went for a 300 I'd start thinking, "good god this is a lot of weight." I'd freak myself out to the point where I'd fail before I even got the bar off the cradle.

Okay, you're 250 pounds (about) and benching roughly 450.Warren[BigW] said:
You're disappointed in this why? Dude, I'd give my left nut to be able to bench almost two hundred pounds more than my own body weight. I'm insanely jealous of you right now. I'm hoping that with a few more years of dedication and training I'll be able to bench 400, but, hell, I'd be gloating if I could put up 350.
Very good job, man.
Some people are going to be dishonest here and there, thats just how it is. So if you feel its dishonest and on a forum, big deal, just ignore it.
I question claims of a 515 press and such, but so what really. I'm in the gym and I know my numbers are true, seeing how I have it on video
For me to get to a 405 press was no walk in the park, I am still working on form after all this time but without a shirt I might see 20-25 pounds more tops with a good form coach.

I'm not necessarily disappointed, I just see all these guys on the juice and think what if? I never would though, and thanks for the compliment man.Evil ANT said:Okay, you're 250 pounds (about) and benching roughly 450.
