Title: How many reps with 225 equate to a 500 bench????????????
Post by: The Squadfather on February 01, 2007, 04:36:33 PM: i'm getting sick and tired of seeing these piss ant high school and college players saying the follwing, "well, i did 37 reps with 225 so that means i could do 500 for a single" hahahaha, yeah right, Ronnie Coleman does 79 reps with 225 and he barely got 4 reps on his own with 500 on his video, i'm sick of these clowns on ESPN and the NFL network pumping these players up to be more than they are.

2 reps actually, so that means i should be able to do like 300 for a single, hahahaha.

You would think a lousy 15 lbs. isnt much...but when you're already pushing the envelope...it might as well be 100 lbs.

There is a reason records get beat by 1/4 lb. increments, etc....

Good point.

How often do they go up and do few heavy reps?

I doubt very much that Scott Mendelson would get much more than 70-80 reps with 225 lbs, yet he's benchpressed 700+ lbs RAW.

Mendy equalling Coleman on 225 lbs isn't a done deal either IMO.

A good analogy is it takes like 400 hp to propel a car 150 mph. To get the same car to 170 mph takes 800 hp.

Give or take,I read an article about this a long time ago so I'm not 100% on the data

Bob, you should have contacted Mr. Intenseone for some training tips...he was benching 535 raw at a body weight of 181 pounds. I know this is true because I read it on getbig.

You're exactly right (Well, not exactly... You really don't need 800hp)

However, stereo wattage would be perfect. To get twice the amount of sound (loudness only) from a 500 Watt Stereo, you would need a 5000 Watt stereo, not a 1000 watt stereo.. it is more along the lines of a factor of 10.

Post by: MisterMagoo on February 01, 2007, 06:28:22 PM: i can't imagine how many reps with 225 would translate to a 500 bench. i've gotten 21 with 225 and 365 is about the highest i can get. i'd say 40 would be a fair estimate, but that's really dependent on how good your endurance is in general. off the top of my head, a guy on a PL board with a bench in the 400-500 range hits around 37 reps with 225.

Regarding Ronnie, those feats were at different points in his BB career, and he was probably stronger when he was younger... his best bench with 495 was about 8 reps I believe. Also, some folks have better 1-rep maxes and others have better endurance using submaximal weights.

Post by: tfalce on February 01, 2007, 07:29:19 PM: The #'s below is from a chart that reads 225 wt. + 10 reps is approximately 293.

(1)225 239 245 252 259 266 272 279 286 (10)293

So one rep at 225 = 7 lbs.

thanks for the lesson, Bob. it makes sense that a powerlifter would do a 725lbs bench press and beat another guy by a mere 5 lbs. 5LBS sounds ridiculous, but I guess operating at a 95% effort will make 5lbs feel like 50....hahaha. long live bodybuilding

bullshit, 40-45 reps with 225= 405 for a single.

You personally must have never benched 225. If you can bench 225 25-30 times you can press 405 pretty easy. Moron!

i've never seen it, the last time i did reps with 225 i got 24 and i can only bench a very, very hard 380, every other guy who did comparable reps with 225 did almost the same as me.

Personally I am on the same page as you 23 reps is my most with my max being 375. But I personally work out with a guy who benches 30 rep max w/225 and has a 435 max bench. It is different for everyone.

I know jeramy freeman can bench 500 for about 10 reps.

he told me he could get 225 for around 70-80 reps if he trained for it.

he got like 54 reps at the gakic contest....he strained his pec on rep 15 but kept going.....he had to stop before muscular failure

Toney Freeman also had the worst form out of anyone there. I can't believe they let him away with it. Most people could probably do it his way.

Differentiate between the two, please. Because it sounds like you're saying that you can bench as much without as with the shirt. I'm not criticizing, but there's NO WAY that 500 raw = 500 with a shirt.

Post by: thewickedtruth on February 02, 2007, 08:05:01 AM: I don't see how anyone could equate muscle stamina to strength when it comes to maximum output. There are two kinds of strong. Total weight and muscular endurace. You can get a lean guy that can curl bench press 225 all day long but put him under 500 and he'll choke. I'd say try getting 500 off the bar before you ever consider even trying to press it. BIG difference. Just ask your body when you crush your cage.

Bench shirt is like having someone help you with the lift, the force you get from the bottom is extreme. I've only used single ply as I'm competing in the IPF. IF you use double ply I cant imagine the force you get.

depends on the shirt. a denim or similar stiff material shirt relies on your own body compression and then aids in the "throw" off the chest. the stretchier types give you more of a spring. and it's all pretty moot unless you have spot-on form and a strong lockout. i've seen a few guys put on tight-ass two ply shirts and be unable to touch their chests, then not be able to move the weight back up either.

well, chick. I believe there is a chart somewhere that explains this theory. but I have yet to experience it..haha. I have more than two dozen jerks in my Gym benching 225lbs evry freaking day for God knows how long. none of em ever max out, ans I doubt these fools would handle maximum weight. they're averaging reps arounds 30 to 35 with the 225lbs. tHERE IS AN eXCEPTION TO THIS cHART

Example: The first column all the way to the left is the weight that you are using. So let's say you use 135 lbs. If you can bench 135 lbs for 8 reps than your estimated one rep max is 167 lbs. So just slide your finger across the page and line it up with the number of times you can lift the weight. Yes you can use this chart for other lifts such as the squat as well.

Post by: Colossus_1986 on February 02, 2007, 12:09:10 PM: i hope you all know that doing 20 reps at a certain weight will NEVER guarantee a few reps at a much higher weight.

If you've done your homework you know that there are slow twitch fibers and fast twitch fibers in everyone's muscle composition. One helps with high-reps/ endurance-type movements, and the other for heavy lifts. Everyone has a different makeup of these fibers so you can never safely say that one lift is proportional to the other.

someone like lance armstrong could probably squat 135 pounds for an hour without end, because he has that type of leg endurance (muscle fiber type) but he probably wouldnt be able to crack 4 decent reps with 225. Just because he is more inclined to high-intensity/endurance type movemnts than short bursts of strength.

i know that there are type a and tybe B fibers (in the slow twitch)
and only one kind of fast twitch. but all im sayin is that you can never know unless you do it! stop with the freakin charts and equations and "probably"...do it...and you will know.

Maybe next time you could crop my face on a naked dude so you could keep it on the background.

well i figured you'd be the best for that since you have your "MY PICTURES" folder full of possible combinations.

This is one of the dumbest arguments I've seen in a while...there is NO equation of reps=max rep.

NO equation? What a bunch of BS. Take a poll of 10 500lbs benchers and ask them how many reps they can get with 225... how many do you think do less than 20 reps for example? Not one.
I'd say all of them will be doing at least 40 even of they NEVER trained for high reps. Not everyone does the same amount of reps with 225 of course, but there is a range in which they fall and it's not 10 or 20 reps that's for sure.

It seems to be "fairly" accurate give or take a few pounds for me... Maybe it's just because I'm and average kinda person.

when you exaggerate your lifting numbers, you need to at least be realistic...no one is going to believe that you can bench 315

I always write my real numbers. If you are weak and small you only have yourself to blame.

Post by: Charlys69 on February 04, 2007, 03:38:29 PM: There is no certain nummer of reps with 225 lbs. someone has to perform to do the 500. It`different from person to person.
Maybe a Bodybuilder could rep out more reps than a powerlifter. My personal best with 225 was 41 or 42 ???, i never did the 500.
