Honestly, how many times can you rep 225? BENCH PRESS

[The_Punisher]

record a short clip of your honest 225lbs bench on your smartphone and post it here and we'll all love you for it

[Childish///AMG]

Wow, about " 15-18" depending on how I feel

[Darren Avey]

I cant do many but have seen this guy Eddie Bitek do 42.

[mesmorph78]

Best ever 40+

[ukjeff]

looking good galeniko, year round condition and strong with it.
cswol take note.

[OTHstrong]

I could do more reps with 225, using a loose style, full reps with some momentum and bounce, than other guys who were quite a bit stonger than me.

Some are good at reps, others are better at 1 rep maxes.  

There's no automatic calculation involved, IMO.

Like running distance versus speed.

no there is no precise calculation (just ball park figures) but there is a closer relation between the two then your running analogy, that's for dam sure

good post

[ukjeff]

the one reason why i have doubts in his case is i think hed gas out way before he hits 50reps.

or this.

[ChristopherA]

Sorry smith machine doesnt count. Thats like 185 if you used the bar. You're a good dude but I knew you couldnt come anywhere near 405 like you had posted awhile ago

[Borracho]

i still somehow think cswol might be able to do 50 reps with that,

Are you kidding me.....cswol would have a heart attack somewhere between 20-30 reps.

Nice job btw...was waiting for you to say something in ingles.  

[ukjeff]

yeah right nothing counts.

i think its the first video posted.

the rest is all hot air around here.

nothing counts,i see.

getbig afterall is a place where phil heath gets called small by faceless posters and looks like shit

so be it 180lbs then,or 120,thats still better than,uhm, nothing.

and yeah, i totaly lied about being able to do 2-3 reps with 400, i never ever did that.i lied to appear "cooler" on the internet.

man, there are ppl who dont even look like they workout who can do 400.

great post, galeniko owning the keyboard wannabes.

  I am going to film cswol next week    we are both ready

[Donny]

nice.. if i ever come over to the US and meet Jay I
will maybe visit you.

[Obvious Gimmick]

Late the party here but 23 tomes. Full reps. Not good by GB standards but I was pretty impressed with myself 

[Obvious Gimmick]

please consider smith rack doesnt count

No smith machine here

You have quite a talent for sarcastic humor. I'm impressed! 

[Primemuscle]

No smith machine here

I do all my flat bench presses on the Isolateral Machine. That way, I won't accidentally drop the weight on my neck and choke to death....aw shucks, someone said. 

[Heywood]

my girl has black necklace, its her black belt at gicing head
since were here on the internet where many theories float around, there must be a total broscience list or calculator on how many reps with 200lbs are required in order to be able to do 1 with 400lbs(truly a non ueberhuman feat).

resident natural mesomorph get away with very strong bench press claims, and is smaller than me id say.

btw, i dont even bench anymore, this was just done for getbig forums, despite shoulder cuffs being shot all the way.

I've debated powerlifters I've known that there is no such formula.  I mean, you can create one, but it doesn't mean anything the moment a guy with a lower one rep max can out-225 you by quite a few reps.

There is a saying that you get good at what you do or what you practice.  Another theory is that there are muscle fiber-type % differences in individuals.  

Either way, IMO, formulas don't work, except maybe with your brothers.

  Monday I will film cswol at the gym

[Primemuscle]

thats why i do it in the rack, because im not "hardcore" to train with free weights(and bunch of spotters,hahaha).

Same feeling here about spotters. The most benefit they bring is the encouragement to do a bit more or push a bit harder, which can be a good thing. Right now, I am just thrilled to be back in the game after an extended time slacking off. Never say never....I am 68 years old. About to be 69 in a couple of months. I feel as pumped up about working out as I ever have. In a year or so, I might wear a thong on stage in a contest. Do they even have a class for men my age?

Happy Orthodox Easter Gale!

[chaos]

At least once I'm sure.

seen some funny accident videos in youtube..people pushing to the limit with no spotter...just not very smart... at least with 2 Dumbbells you can drop them, preferably not on your face...lol smith machine is ok.. i just do what ever to get the job done... i had a woman the other day who could not push 4.5kg on a machine press....no joke

[Donny]

so we just did machine flys instead and some triceps...her triceps were nonexistent. whined all the time and i felt like saying just fuck off... but being the caliber of man i am i just smiled at her...she was 48 and really was a pain... i trained 2 Gay guys after that...they were funny.. and had humour...
