No bullshit....how much can you bench? People ask that crap where ever bbers go.
Most ive EVER done was 405lbs for 3, but that was FULLY loaded and a few years ago
-
I hit 410 in college when I was 22 and 245 pounds. Now, maybe 350, but I look a bit softer and am not juiced.
-
475 I was clean three months. I was 23.
Now, I wouldn't dare try it at 33, clean and much less muscle.
-
Never done any PED whatsoever, just meat and potatos and pasta
A shitty 305 for 1 rep
nowadays maybe 185lbs
i had major sugery on my wrist when i was 19yrs old , tore most of my ligaments in it and had to get it rebuit with wires and anchores so i cant bend my wrist back and it places major stress on my thumb, but even before i got hurt i wants that good of a bench presser in highschool
-
PB=410 @ about 245-250. No drugs.
-
I dont even bench anymore. If i do its last in my rotation and i dont go above 185lbs.
Got a buddy in Toledo that is MAYBE 190lbs, 5'5 and can EASILY rep with 315
-
These days rarely above 250. I'm not blasting at the moment so rarely above 220 to be honest. But when loaded up I can hit 300 for a few reps. Never tried for a serious 1RM as far as I can remember. Not when off PEDs anyway.
-
320 back in the day. i still remember, amidst over a year of being unable to bench more than 135 due to some mysterious ailment, i finally, for one day, got a semblance of my old strength back. i remember thinking how easy the 320 was, and thinking i could probably hit 350, but regrettably never tried for it. i thought i was "back on track" somehow, lol, even though the very next workout it was back to one plate for a couple measly reps.
oh well. the sudden disappearance of pressing ability is still the strangest thing to happen my whole lifting career.
-
I can't bench 405 but I humped a 200-pounder once, what's your record there big mike?
-
385 in college. Never juiced in my life. was about the time i hurt my pec, and stop maxing out.

Bench is easily the most technical of the big lifts imho. Technique can make a huge difference. For example I find where I position my elbows and the path I move the bar through can make 135 fly up like it's nothing, or can make eight reps seem like hell.
-
2 Weeks ago I injured my shoulder AGAIN at the 12th rep with 100 lbs flat dumbell presses.
Yeah I really like those pressing exercises.... :'( :'(
-
I don't flat bench. Haven't in decades apart from showing some clueless frat boys how to tuck the elbows, arch and pull the scapula down and back with 135. Inclines, Hammer Incline, Hammer Iso-Wide and various other types of machines are good enough for my pecs.
-
I bench your mom.
-
I bench your mom.
No, I've seen you put up some pretty good bench numbers. My mom's tiny as shit, like 105.

Ginger lynn can rimm my ass and suck the cum out of my slong anyday of the week.....oh wait...Nina Hartley is first... ;D

Biggest bench: 385, completely natty, age 24, bodyweight of 275. No gear....just some wrist straps. No bounce.
Biggest girl: I would have to say it's a three-way tie between Sara - she had to be about 205, I was 18, and she took my virginity. Then it could have been Neena, the rugby player in sophmore year, who was probably 175, but only 5'3". Or Fran, freshman year, who was about 5'9", and maybe about 190. Fran was my favorite of the three. Pretty girl, and spilling out of her top everywhere with a big ol beeehind. I have a horrible story about how I dumped her that I will take to my grave...if I say it out loud I will surely be struck down by lightning. I'm an unfeeling bastard and even I'm bothered by what I did.
-
I don't really do much flat bar bench, but have done 385 for 6. Incline I have done 365 for 7.
-
315 today
-
Brah, I can like do 5 plates a side on the hammer brah. That's like 670 pounds brah
-
Over 400lbs but I am 265
-
Over 400lbs but I am 265
400 was my goal. Never got there tho. :'( :'(
-
600 pounds but I am 300 pounds at 6% and in the special forces so I guess you would expect a big bench. True story.

After college football I geared myself up to the max for a year or so... I could do 455 for 5... (naturally I would do 315 for 10-12) Now, i dont go above 225 if I do flat... I feel more of a burn from doing 225 slow and concentrated for 15 reps than I did doing 400+ 10+ years ago... I mostly stick to dumbbells if I can, where Ill go up to the 125s-135s for incline and flat for sets of 15...

Too bad you look like a bloated mess.

2-10's on each side = 445 + chains.

Best set is 15x265 done in this year. 11 years of training.
Team natural liars.

Did an easy 555 in contest last sunday in a Tee Shirt (no bench shirt) been clean for over 3 yrs just running creatine and test boosters. But I'm the fat guy on this board weighed in at 364.
-
best I've done is 175kgs, there was more shoulders used than chest! don't do much over 130 now but that's with nice form and slow and controlled for reps. use DBS more these days but gym only has 60 kgers, but these will suffice for a while longer. :'( just start with heavy incline dumbell flys.

405@ a fat 290 back in 1996. Now 330-345 @ 210, a bit less fat. Should really gas up and hit 405 again. Nice goal for turning 40!
-
360 weighing 190 in my late 20's! Have done 315 for 8. On a very low amount of juice at the time!
-
PB as a natural was 3 plates for a smooth 4 (ok maybe smooth 3 and 7/8s haha)
On the gas 3 plates for 8 and 405 for a horrible couple.
Never been a great bencher, very long arms so feels like each rep is taking 10 seconds and 500 kcals lol.
-
Done 515 on flat and 545 on a decline, lifting more conservative nowadays, so very rarely do I go past 365, usually for a set of 10. Now everyone has a stand out set where they have surprised themselves right? Well few years back was feeling good, had a nap after 4 plates at a buffet, woke up downed a huge energy drink and half a bottle of ephedrine and was wired beyond belief, threw up 3 plates for 24 reps, same work-out cracked the 130's for 20, will never forget that workout.
-

You're not the brightest of humans are you? Now I see why you missed a fight that cost you 5k.

I can see people that don't give their real name or don't show pictures lying but anyone who's pics are up and their real identity is known like mine and are part of the bodybuilding community are definitely not lying, it would be fucken stupid to lie in this case cause you would be exposed in record time.
-
I thought you were wearing skinny jeans now?
I'm meant to be a fat powerlifter, all that bodybuilding stuff got boring. This is my passion this is what I love to do, I'm gonna make another run then come back down to around 300 and maintain.

485lbs x 3 weighing about 275lbs at age 23-24 and clean as a whistle having never used...I was a beast then. Can still put up big numbers today, but not like the heyday!

I like the guy a page or two ago who barbell benches 225 for 15 but db benches the 135s for 15 :o
-
285 for 8 on juice at 230 lbs back years ago. I never tried a 1 rep max because my bench weight sucked and I never was strong in it. I don't go above 215 these days.

In light of this thread I pushed 260 this morning. I'm currently a natty. I got 2 reps and had a spot on the next 2 reps. I don't know about any more. With luck I can get 300 being natural but that's pushing it more than I want to. I'll stick to my usual 220 and be happy with it. I have little designs on having a huge bench anyway.

No he didn't. He told someone else their post will be believed because they didn't add that they were natural. He was implying that most people aren't telling the truth.
-

yes, but he flouts onetimehard's first and only rule of thermodynamics: (1) If you're stronger than onetimehard, you must be on the gas.

Wait, let me bring in a camera crew. Forget that it was just me and training partner. Maybe next time I have 445 chains, I'll just tell him to forget the spot and just video the lift. Brilliant. Hahaha.
See the I posted on here and go from there.

CALLED NZFUCKINGMM. ::)

That's a good lift, NZ. Especially for someone who looks like they never touched a weight in their lives. But you have to remember that I'm 6'5" and look much, much better than you do. If I had your short little arms, I'd probably hit 200kg easy. I had no spotter the day I did that 170 either, I'd definitely have hit 180kg that day, little buddy. Keep up the good work! Some day you might look like you lift and get rid of that dorky looking face, lmfao.
Your next response will be "oh oh, but you were juicing Dave" who gives a fuck I don't train as a powerlifter, seriously dude get off this board you're a loser and look like a twink.
-

means a lot coming from a gorgeous muscle freak such as yourself (all homo).

Power to weight ratio is far more impressive than just a bottom line lift.
I love the fact that I could wake up and have the option of running 10 miles or going to the gym and repping 315. All around fitness you fat ass.
And btw, this dorky face has got me plenty of lovely ladies ;)

Very sorry to hear that.
Back in July 2010 I tore my leg quad off my knee and tore the muscles around the knee as well. Spent two weeks torn up before surgery, then 2 weeks after surgery was rushed to ER because I was basically dying. Docs discovered enormous pulmonary embollism (a saddle type basically) and blood clots in my legs. Spent 2.5 days in intensive care and by grace of God the doctors and nurses got me outta the hospital in a week. Then it was months of physical therapy, 2 a day blood thinner shots in the stomach for months and tons of doctor follow-ups. Today I have a clean bill of health, but that alone was a brutal journey.
Truly sorry to hear about the pancreatitis and I will keep you in my prayers. Stay positive and keep trying to move forward.

I train thai boxing in Holland 3x a week. I think my cardio is pretty good for my size. And you're not good looking either lady's man. So combined with the fact you're not particularly good looking, not tall and don't even have a decent physique you're just an internet hotshot I will admit one thing though, I'd love to knife you (srs).

It's good for sure, I complain about the Dutch but they've got great camps over here. The Dutch lads are always at me to give up the booze and start training more seriously so I'm considering training full-time soon but I love the sauce. It kills my conditioning. Sorry for derailing the thread but NZ is a fucking KUNT of the highest order.

lol @ the knife fight that is brewing.
Today I found all the weights in my gym that weren't being used and put them on my bench and benched it. It was about 6000 pounds (I got bored and stopped counting). After this I had a pizza and wacked off.
-
So what do we have so far, about 15 elite benchers and 1 video? Now that's the Getbig I know!
-
Too many bullshitters in this thread. :-X
To be objective shave 20-30% off the top for half the claimants. You know the ones that are full of horse shit. It was like the other time when i posted my bench among all the other numbers + drug regimen. The bench wasn't nothing to speak of and never was -- among everything else. Some Joe blow by the name of Sheriff shelby jumps in to tell everyone how big his dick was at a so and so body weight, yet wouldn't reveal any other lifts.
For others suggesting 'i was on little or no juice', either you are a user or you're not -- NO EXCUSES - IF'S AND BUT'S. Once you've crossed the line you got no reason to make excuses. Some are stronger to begin with whether on/off. The juice helps, but your genetic potential is the real mitigating factor like everything else in life.
Again most of us can see :o right through the cookie cutter bullshit numbers.
P.S. Coach, if you can take pictures of the weights with the chains - you can take a picture/video of your lift like the other gentleman. Just cut out that right-wing ideological idiotic bullshit that you so diligently defend by hanging off the GOPs balls every chance you get -- every waking hour of your life, and the entrenched prerogatives, privileges, and powers owed to you. Then maybe you will also be able to see clearly through the bullshit.

P.S. Coach, if you can take pictures of the weights with the chains - you can take a picture/video of your lift like the other gentlemen. Just cut out that right-wing ideological idiotic bullshit that you so diligently defend by hanging off the GOPs balls every chance you get -- every waking hour of your life, and the entrenched prerogatives, privileges, and powers owed to you. Then maybe you will also be able to see clearly through the bullshit.
Relax brother no one is calling out crazy numbers here under 500 is no big deal nowadays, 400 is good but not that good ;)

10 1/2 ROM reps you mean. Be honest now.
no. just about 1" shy of my chest. i used to go all the way down, but since i've gained some size i find that to be too severe a stretch now.
i am being honest. that's not that much weight. i never try for a 1 rep max. it's silly. i'm a bodybuilder.

Very sorry to hear that.
Back in July 2010 I tore my leg quad off my knee and tore the muscles around the knee as well. Spent two weeks torn up before surgery, then 2 weeks after surgery was rushed to ER because I was basically dying. Docs discovered enormous pulmonary embollism (a saddle type basically) and blood clots in my legs. Spent 2.5 days in intensive care and by grace of God the doctors and nurses got me outta the hospital in a week. Then it was months of physical therapy, 2 a day blood thinner shots in the stomach for months and tons of doctor follow-ups. Today I have a clean bill of health, but that alone was a brutal journey.
Truly sorry to hear about the pancreatitis and I will keep you in my prayers. Stay positive and keep trying to move forward.
thank you, glad to hear your doing great now i appreciate the prayers. i'm sick of icu's

Stay strong, and get well soon!
thank you, i guess it was just my time to be humbled, hopefully i'll be a better person for it.

Steven, sorry to hear this, get well my brother!

Looking forward to seeing three 45s on each side some day...

im weak as hell on bench press, seems like someone is a born bencher or not.
but the good news is that my chest is quite big though so who cares. ha ha ha
-
Or you could set up the camera and video the lift that way? No need for anyone to hold the camera?
I guess I could if it actually mattered and I cared. But what you don't seem to get is that I don't train bodybuilding. I've been powerlifting for about the past 4 years. There's a world of difference between the two. But if it makes you feel better, feel free to.come In and train.

easy enough to tell who's legit and which of the internet warriors in this thread would get crushed unracking 3 plates.
I did 405 x 10 paused a couple weeks back (with a slingshot :-X so in reality about 135lbs ::)).. I had scott mendelson spotting me which was more motivating than taking a handful of halos.
-
There should be a height requirement for entering gyms or purchasing weightlifting equipment. This would "take care" of situations like Branch Warren.
-
455 for a single. No bounce. And I was clean. And 177 lbs at the time. And a junior. High school junior.
Fucking FILTS!! All of you!

LOL!! You're absolutely right, this extreme "bench arch" is definitely a white nerd thing. Every black man I've ever seen with a big bench does none of that. He may hype up a little like we all do, but that's it.
-
you are a strong dude, how is your deadlift?
Around the 420's. I've never been a strong dead lifter or squatter. The most I squatted was three plates,so; 315. I might have experimented with more but I was consistently around 315.
After getting my shoulder done(baseball injury I kep irritating) I was done with that kind of lifting. At the time I was experimenting with anadrol front load followed by Test-E cycle. I was strong as an ox but felt like I was a water balloon. This was about seven years ago.
-
"fairly lean" lol :D
Lean is binary imho, options are
(1) Lean
(2) Not lean
-
405 again today after 4 sets on the bench... felt like a truck
-
130kilos natural with pause at chest at 85kilos fairly lean if not "very" lean
it's worthless of course but at the time it was a good feeling
Bah, nonsense. Lean and natural, just shy of 290 whilst weighing 190 is a decent bench. Do a cycle and shoot for a double-bodyweight bench if your shoulders are made for it (mine aren't. When I first started dabbling with super-supps, I'd done very little benching. Before I knew it, I was doing paused triples with 325, then 340. It was about the time I tried 365 for a double that I felt like my sternum wanted to pull in two. I never had any tenderness or anything else; it just felt like I was under a bone-crushing weight, in spite of the fact that I got the double without grinding. That's when I quit benching. It didn't hurt that one of the Halo freaks at the gym, this dude who consistently did 495 toward the end of his benching sessions, ripped his pec while going for reps with his bodyweight (265ish? I can't remember).).
-
yeah risking injuries really sucks
in the end it's about freakish appearance who gives a fuck if you can bench 315 or 405
As I get older, that's increasingly my take on things :)
I mean, I'd LOVE to be the most massive guy hoisting crazy weights a'la Ronnie in his prime, but I've had two doubts of sciatica and a couple of bizarre nerve impingements which zapped my right-side pressing strength down to laughably weak levels.
After a time, I think Vince Taylor and those dudes had the right idea, provided you could stay reasonably muscular on really light pumping training. And I must say, I've yet to meet a decades-long really HEAVY trainer who didn't have his regrets/second thoughts.
-
NOT on PED now and can still get 315 at 42

Actually there is a brother at our gym that the whole gym secretly makes fun of for trying to hump the roof
-
I do not mind arching at all as long as the butt and shoulders stay on the bench. At least that way it is legal!
-
8) HOW MUCH YA BENCH used to be a SNL skit back in the late 80s early 90s !
-
i actually dont believe this
Like I said I set a junior alberta record raw weighing 162lbs and benching 276.5lbs
