What is your 1 rep max bench?

[live2pump]

I voted 450, but my max was 435 which went up pretty smooth. That was last year around this time, but I do not max anymore because injuries become more frequent. Most I'll do is rep 375 for 5-6 reps.

Age 26, 220 lb

250 here

 

[BIGDAVE]

Last year i did just over 405lbs(pic in my gallery) but i'm reping higher this year so could maybe do more.

I don't know why I would do 1 rep of any exercise, that's like sprinting across the room to the treadmill and then just standing on it.

It's called power lifting and Olympic weight lifting....I don't do it but I certainly don't think its a waste of time. I think they are great sports and I respect those who compete in them.

 

[leggett]

I am 5'11" 184 lbs and I probably push close to 280-290 I voted 300 of course.

Yes I have noticed this problem, I believe it'e because I'm 15 and taking huge amounts of steroids.

[MuscleM4n]

154lbs ...i feel i can get 164lbs now but don't want to go for it becuase of my training regime.

 

[themamasan]

290-300 lbs for me. Which brings up a question I have always had. How much does your height affect your bench? I never did bench press when I was short, so don't know if it is that much easier or not.

 

[MuscleM4n]

interesting question...

i bench about 125% of bodyweight at 5'4" (very short and stumpy ) but that is only 154lbs so not that much in relative to heavyness.

 

[CowPimp]

I did 265 @ 185 pounds, and it went up pretty smoothly. It's going to be a while before I get back there after I finish rehabbing my shoulder. However, I am confident I will get even more going back. I have come to realize that I basically do a PL width close grip bench press when I bench. I think I could easily add some weight on just by widening my grip a bit.

 

[Deity Goddess]

37, 220lbs., 405 max.

 

[GFR]

37, 220lbs., 405 max.

 

[dAMvN]

17, 160, did 255 4x so im guessin around 275? I did max 275 when I was 16, and 165.

 

[racoon02]

37, 220lbs., 405 max.

got damn

 

[Squaggleboggin]

I can only bench about 210, but the lift in which I really excel is the deadlift. I can do 400+ with that. I also hope to get BW clean and press by Christmas.

 

[LexusGS]

I benched 195 two days ago. Yes, I know that sucks.

 

[clemson357]

I put 300. I got 285 last week, this week I am going for 290 and I am fairly positive I will get it unless I am having an off day. I weigh 180 lbs.

 

[GFR]

I thought it was still around 400 but to my dismay it is more like 365 .

 

[juggernaut2005]

405 is the highest I go for bench presses and I get 4-5 reps on that.. guess for 1RM would be 475? IDK

Hello Var. Probably between $8 - $10k. Once my weight room is built, I'll pick up a couple of more machines. I'd like to get one of those seated lateral press machines. They run about $2k

Thinking on your line. Surprizing how many 300-400 lb natural benchers we have here weighing around 220 lbs or less

I maxed 200 in class today actually 175 x 5, but we use the nebraska weight chart to find maxes. Anyone else used this before?
