Title: Can you complete the awesomo bench press challenge?
Post by: Awesomo on March 18, 2009, 07:20:09 AM: Can you bench your weight for your age and what are your stats.
Title: Re: Can you complete the awesomo bench press challenge?
Post by: Mr. Magoo on March 18, 2009, 07:20:59 AM: nope

you do realize that for anyone 30-40 years old to bench pressing 230-250 lbs for 30-40 reps is almost impossible to find. At least in the gyms I've been in.

Post by: wes mantooth on March 18, 2009, 07:21:31 AM: hmmmmm....this thread has potential.....

but the 138lb 19year old is at quite an advantage
Title: Re: Can you complete the awesomo bench press challenge?
Post by: Tre on March 18, 2009, 07:24:30 AM: Interesting challenge. I'm nowhere near able to do this today, but I could when I was 20-24 years old. Now that I'm 38, though (and just got down to 200 lbs), it won't be happening anytime soon.
Title: Re: Can you complete the awesomo bench press challenge?
Post by: JasonH on March 18, 2009, 07:32:12 AM: It's a good challenge but I don't think I'd be able to do it.

230lbs for 31 reps is a tall order for me.
Title: Re: Can you complete the awesomo bench press challenge?
Post by: Awesomo on March 18, 2009, 07:32:43 AM: I am hoping i can do it this summer. I am 27 and 195 right now, but by the summer I hope to be 170. I have never accomplished it and am wondering if i let myself get too old to complete it.
