Hi, i'd like to know what everybody's max benchpress is (1 press)???
Please state how much u weigh.


PLEASE DONT LIE
 
I weigh 205 and don't know
 
Now about 425. I weigh 240-250. No juice ever but am genetically gifted and have been training for 15 years. Used to powerlift and got my weight up to 305 and bench up to 540 (w/single ply shirt). Came to a point that to compete on the national/world level I would have to take drugs. Deathly afraid of needles and I work for the county so it wasn't worth it. There are supposedly "drug-tested" powerlifting associations but they are a COMPLETE JOKE. I have found out that , for me, I have to bench, squat and do heavy chins/cleans to keep my size/strength. Some people can use dumbbells and such but once one gets to a high strength level, Heavy Barbell work is the only way.
 
I never do single rep max bench. I dont think it has any significance to my workout, only to show off and probably injure myself but it does work my ego.

I usually do incline and highest is 300lbs for 6 reps. oh and i weigh 215lbs.
 
Hmmm, I also haven't done one rep max, no spotter.
If I had to guess I'd say 255lb (I can do 245 for 3-4) and I weigh 205 right now. Yes I know I suck at flat bench but I can deadlift 490!! :)
 
i weigh about 170(down from 187 in mid January) i max around 260, although i havent been doing flat bench, been using db instead lately.

Hey Mule...you are getting too strong...I'm gonna stop giving you all my secrets LOL!
 
Bench 295 at a body weight of 190.
Deads 425
 
My last max about 3 months ago was 225 at a BW of 175. I SUCK at benching. I think I have the worst benching biomechanics ever. My DL and Squat progress much better.
 
The best part about bench pressing is the lying down part :D
 
Kinda funny, yet embarrassing story from the other day:

I was doing my chest workout the other night. It was both a good night as well as an embarrassing one.
There I wuz...I was working with 185 lbs for reps on flat bench and was doing pretty well. The guy next to me had 275lbs loaded up on his bench, so I asked if I could jump in and see if I could get it up. I ended up doing 3 sets for three reps each. It is below my maximum weight, but I was glad to see that I could put it up. That was the good part.
I should have quit while I was ahead. He and I both decided to work out together, as we both were doing the same thing.
Next stop, incline dumb bell presses. My weights were lighter and reps less than should have been, but that will come back up within the next couple weeks. After that, he took off and I was going to finish off with decline bench press. Did I mention I should have quit while I was ahead?
I was finishing up my last rep on last set, when the weight was going up, up, u....down, down, down, to come to a rest on my chest.
It wasn't going any where. I thought I could roll the weight up high enough so I could sit up and get out from under it. Nope, that wasn't going to work. I then thought about rolling it down, until I realized I would have smashed my face in the process...another no-go.
So, I just layed there with 185 pounds across my chest. Finally, some guy happened to be walking by, so I got his attention and he helped me rack the weight.
That was the embarrassing part.
Just need to remember: Go to gym, check ego at the door.

admiting to my being a dummy is the first step...
 
Before my right pec tendon started acting up last week I had 260-70 or so in me for one. Deads are running in the low 400's right now.
 
oh yeah, my weight is around 182lbs and usually do not do more than 225 or so on stiff legged deads.

Many of us have been there at one time or another! When I was like 17 I got really pissed off one day and decided to take my anger out on the bench press in my basement. Back then I think my max was about 175, but I threw on 190 thinking I was soooo angry that I would be able to easily do it. Well, the weight came down and BAM...it stayed right on my chest, lol. Nobody was home so I decided to tip the bar to one side...the weights slid off to the right and then the bar whipped over to the left. The weights came off and the bar went flying into a mirrored wall. My parents were oh so thrilled with me!

From what you've been telling me you are gaining great size! And about deadlifting...tell those whimps to get on the ground, under the bar, to protect the floor!
 
I benched 345 about 5 months ago (only one rep), since then my weight has dropped 7 lbs down to 210, haven't tried max since.

See, if you are creative, you can find a use for everyone!
 
I have no idea but I can lift 250 eight times at 160 pounds. It's by far my strongest lift. Don't ask what I squat.
 
maxed out about two months ago - 375, looking for 400 by the end of june
 
Benched 95 lbs the other day...is that good?
