She'll train with ya...but only if you get there on foot...;)
 
don't know never done a one max press on any exercise. When i do bench i usually use dumbbells six sets six to eight reps 90-95 pounds.
 
I workout alone and never max out. But I would take a guess at some place between 275 and 300
 
I'm 175lb aand bench 225lb
 
impressive numbers! oh, and ironwoman i hope u were joking about that 225 lbs press!!!??? were u??

Ripper, not joking. I also squatted 365 last week at a bodyweight of 142.

Your lifts are SUPER impressive! I know guys that weigh 225 and can't squat 365!

May I ask if you are a drug-free athlete??? Either way, your lifts are still incredible!

I'd have to see that to believe it. If you are natural you should be competing in female powerlifting competitions.

I would love to if I lived closer! I would love to have numbers like yours! GP........I weigh 177 and can't squat but 315!(Damn, I feel like a wimp!)
 
Gopro, I love the IRON, and I have a medical background so I have the knowledge to train, eat, and recover smart. BUT, face the facts, Could a 44 yr old female weighting 142 do lifts like that drug free? If you know much about the sport, you know the answer is no. I started out with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome which is a barely recognized diagnosis, that most Drs know nothing about, but that will make you into a basket case if you let it. I decided not to let it , started training, and utilized some A.S. and other drugs to enable me to stay healthy and continue training, working, and supporting myself and two children(now teens). Judge me if you will, but walk in my shoes first, then see where your sympathies lie. The chronic fatigue has taken my thyroid and made me insulin dependant, the rest just help me keep on keeping on....the strength is a side benefit of survival.

Not judging you at all. I don't like to simply accuse someone of using steroids...it is not fair to do so...that is why I asked first. Trust me, I have been involved in this sport for 16 years as a coach, trainer, and competitor, and I can easily tell when someone is on drugs and when someone isn't...99 % of the time...however, every once in a while you will run into a "genetic superior" that can accomplish unusual things.

I myself have gone from 125 lbs to 255 lbs...a 65 lb bench press to a 500 lb bench press...a 35 lb curl to a 225 lb curl...among other things, ALL DRUG FREE. Now, most people that don't really know me all think I'm lying through my teeth and "juiced to the max!" However, I am not...and I don't appreciate being accused of it (although it is a compliment in a way).

Point being, I appreciate your honesty, and only wanted to know out of curiosity...not to belittle your remarkable achievements in any way:)
 
Yup, Sorry Gopro, Wonderwoman is my hero for sure now!! :thumb: keep strong WW!!

I rather enjoy being "accused" of taking steroids, etc. I find it amusing particularly since I NEVER have. Its particularly amuzing when it comes from people who don't lift and haven't a clue. The best compliment I received was from a HUGE guy (obviously juicing) who, when I was training for my first show, complimented me and then leaned over and asked if I was natural.

In any event, everyone makes there own choices.

WW, those are DAMN impressive weights on or off.

Oh yeah, I weigh 212 and can bench about 400+. The elusive double your weight has always escaped me. Maybe by the summers end.
 
Good stuff TP...impressive lift my friend! :thumb:
 
TP, i'm right there with you. was at 206lb, dropped to 198lb (looking to get to 190lb for the summer). hopefully will not loose to much strength while cutting and hopefully can finally get double my weight. also helps that it will go from 412 to 380!
 
Thanks gopro....I'll keep you posted if I ever get double.

My best lift was 2 weeks into dieting for my second show (about three years ago). I pressed 405 at a weight of 215. When I got down to 200, I coulde only get about 190....

I am also dieting (See my journal, "Ripped"), I am 212 right now with a goal weight of 195-200. If I can press 400 that'd be awesome. We shall see.
 
P.S. Yanks -- I am also a HUGE Donnie fan...
 
By the way Yanks...I am also a huge Yankee/Don Mattingly fan!

Excellent! I have done a 500lb bench press, but at a 250 bodyweight. Of course I am not a powerlifter, but a BBing competitor...however, I can really appreciate the magnitude of that lift!

Weigh 190, Bench 260....I am really weak on the bench always have been.

Nothing wrong with that lift! Everyone has stronger and weaker exercises anyway.
