350 at 190
265 X 3 @ 172 so calculate my 1RM
I've only "maxed" one time in the last year, but it was after my working sets. I did 290x5 then right after got 315x1.
wow..I really need to work on my bench...
I say the same when a friend posts about her fuckin 300 some benches arrrggghhh I think I hate her genes! lol Id like to hit 300 before then end of 06, Ive managed to move it but cant lock...soon enough!
That's a ridiculous bench press for a woman. It's normal for strong women to have really strong legs as I'm sure you do....but the same girl I see deadlifting 300+ for reps isn't even doing 200 on the bench...
There is no reason you can't hit 300 before the end of the year...

This chick is a freak, she's veggie too, insane genetic freak.
Trains as a powerlifter but is doing her BB first show this fall in ontario.Girl pulls 405 or something, squats like a mofo too...She's gonna do WELL, very nice development on her and lean year long! biatch! lol
There may be a reason I dont get tehre this year, Ive done a little damage to bicep tendon/rotator last week so I wont be doing anything flat for a while, onliy incl/decl.
CowPimp...Ive done one 12 week (M1T) cycle in my entire life, 2 years ago. Hoping a little "enhancement" schedueled to take place in late Oct may help with this bench goal...Ill be competing in BB Fall 2007.

500 Raw is excellent.
I expect to be just over 405 before the years end.
500..... Im not sure. I would probably have to train specifically to increase bench aftert that point.

315
3 1/2 years ago I benched 435 weighing 230. Then 2 months later I tried it again at 210 and snapped my rotator cuff.
I have recently made a nice comeback, strength wise. On Monday, I reached the peak, and I benched 315 for 16 reps. This was the first time I attempted 315 since the surgery. I never got 315 for 16 before. Ever.
Next set I upped it to 335, figuring I'd go for 10. On rep 3, I tore my left pec.
Moral of the story -- I am old, and brittle, and will not be heavy benching anymore. And that makes me sad.

You lost 20 lbs in 2 months then tried the same weight??
That sucks about the tear, was that recent?
Yes, 20 pounds in 2 months. I was actually stronger too, which was why I tried it again (would have been more than 2X my BW).
The pec tear -- that was Monday.
I think that the set just caused too much of a pump. Then when I upped the weight, bam.
We shall see. Probably won't go past 315 again.

I'd say around a couple of hundred pounds. I'm not really sure. I don't really lift to see how much I can lift. I lift to be more healthy and look stronger. I've known way too many people try to bench too much weight and end up hurting themselves. This to me goes against the whole reason I started lifting in the first place.
38 years old, weight 182lbs, lift 260lbs
