And what is your one rep max? Just curious to see the correlation between reps with this and a guy's one rep max.

As many times as you've been 21.
A truck load of times.
:D

more times than you've run a sub 10.5 100m

I don't bench anymore. No idea. Probably zero.

I agree its worthless for bbing. My chest is still shit but I noticed it was alot fuller when I was only using dumbells and hammer strength. Noticed more front delt growth with flat benching.

Last time i did this was 3-4 years ago and i could do 275 for 22 at that time weighing 250 and could bench 405 for 3.now if i was lucky prob get 275 for 6- 8 and max out around 335 but i couldnt care less and i weigh much less down to 225.
-
I think this is about right
275 for 5 reps- should be g2g for a 315 bench
275 for 10-15 reps - 350-400lb bench
275 for 20 - 400-450 lb bench
anyone benching 275 for over 25 reps should be able to hit 500

Giving up bb bench was a very hard decision for me. Not that I was good at it, but I always believed (because Arnold) that the bench was the ONE upper body exercise. So I kept at it for 30 years. No mas.

Same here. I was never a strong bencher. I still do it on occasion, but I use dumbbells most of the time now because I like having functional shoulders. I probably could not bench 275 once. Even in my 20's I could only do it about 5-6 times.
-
I'm laying of the bench press for my shoulders sake, but I could probably get about 3 as a lean natural. Not bad for having small joints.
-
I don't know to be honest. Last time i did BB bench for reps i worked up to 385 for my last working set. On a good day i could probably bench 275 at least 15 times.

I could do 12 reps with 315 for about 3 years ... took me 8 years to get there, natural
Paying now for it though
WoooSSSHHHHHHHHHH BE YE KE

None, and I look way better than you

Same here, but I got up to 6 reps.
One of the go ruck events I do may now incorporate bench press into it. Now that both my shoulders are fixed, I may have to (temporarily) revisit the exercise.

all of the times

Oh please fuck off! U got 6600+ post and haven't learned yet!
It doesn't matter, no one fucking care.
Join a strength club if u want to lift heavy and become an ugly fatass!
Alot of people can be much stronger than they actually are, but the doesn't care about it, doesn't put effort on being strong, docent like the low intensity heavy shit 1 rep 10 minutes rest and then 1 rep...eat a lot of food and become fat, look like shit etc etc...
If u want a healthy nice looking body u need to do cardio and high intensity training with more reps and keep calories low...and thats not how u become strong.
Your muscles will not grow an inch no matter how heavy u train. Just make them muscles tired in some way or another and you get the muscles u get...
-
probably 25 plus reps.

theres no holy book that says muscle mass or abs matter more than strength. People are free to value one thing over the other as they choose.

I would stop around 12-14. Even a lighter weight the lactic acid build up starts to burn

5 sets of 5 w 275...pathetic 305 bench at 175 or so lbs when i was young... :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(
-
6-8 reps with slow negative tempo and done incline. Don't ever do flats bottom heavy pec as is...
-
Best tip you can thank me for later. If you want to bench heavy do a LOT of rotator cuff work aside from the benching and make sure you hit all four rotator cuffs not just 1 - 2

Not bad if natty. At least you have age to blame, young twinks don't have any excuses.

Absolutely, but you still can tear a pec.

I can now do about 6-8 good reps with 275 and that's it in the gym for me now.
BUT, if you has me benching in the back of a new Ram, flatbed pickup trucks, I'd hit 10 reps ;D
-
No idea, Ive only used dumbbells for the last year or two
Probably a lot lot less than I used to be able to do :-\
-
I wonder why the bench press is the one lift everyone wants to know about?
-

That is because the weight is too high up the body and u are using delts to lift the weight you dipshit
-
10
Max 355

never juiced sir anabolic... :D :D :D :D

because no one squats\dl's and ohp is impossible to make massive weight jumps in

i can bench 275 about 10-12 times
i can get 315 about 8
i can get 365 once
-

Def but I am thinking more along the lines of keeping your shoulders healthy, pain-free

Sounds on point and realistic, if a bit "rep" oriented.
With a dedicated effort to bench a greater 1 RM, I've little doubt a decent program could get you to a good stone's throw within 405 if not that (or maybe a bit more). I have never benched 405 -- not even once! But I did do 370 for a paused triple on my chest, and those were real pauses, not the "hey, let's let the weight dimple down into my chest cavity so I can use it like a launch pad to get more than I ordinarily would" reps :) And at that time, I wasn't getting more than eight or MAYBE nine reps with 315.
Yes, it was raw, and no, it wasn't natty. Tons of synthol use and gay porn atop that, for the guys who are into such things. Just look up my handle if you want to see a great homo show :D~
;)
-
I could easily, but my rotator cuff disagreed.....now I DB bench for 15 reps or more....

Lifting heavy is great when you're young, but you usually pay for it later on. I did rotator cuff exercises for the past 15 years. They def work, but after many years of heavy benching the labrum and rotator cuff attachments tend to wear down. You're only as strong as your weakest link.
Heavy benching should never be performed if the shoulder(s) are weak, sore or already injured. Older trainers need to be especially careful and thorough warm-ups are absolutely necessary. One mistake and you are out of the game for a very long time, perhaps forever.

Obviously drugs play a roll, but you can not get to that size without achieving enormous strength. There isn't one guy on the O stage who cant bench in the mid to high 400's.
-
Generally that's true but I did know one state level HW who was 220is at 5'5" who literally struggled to bench 225 for reps
I could incline much more than a 280lb monster
Some dudes do have terrible CNS , but who cares if it means they can get bigger lifting less weight due to inefficiency? Much rather that than having to risk tearing muscles by needing to bench 405+ every session
-
1 Negative Rep
but, on the hammer strength machine probably about 25 reps
-

0 now, 16 times in July 1997 when I was about 60 lbs heavier and playing college ball
-
I don't bench heavy that much anymore I just stick to around 185-225 since I don't bench only rarely nowadays. It made my pecs uneven so I switched over to dumbells. I used to max at like 315-325 when I was all bulked up on Tren when I was like 18 at 220lbs and a fat ass lol. Now I can do like 225x10 at 180-190lb on a calorie deficit after I didn't bench with a barbell for 6 months. Now if I bench with a barbell which is still rarely I'll use the smitch machine and do incline bench for 225-250 4 sets of 12,10,8,8 with a Dropset at the end

True and muscle fiber type as well. The more fast twitch muscle fibers a guy has the better he is with maxes and the worse he is with reps. This is why I absolutely believe if a fast twitch freak like levrone was capable of benching 600.
I went to high school with a kid who could only bench 185 for 3 reps.... but could max out at 250. Years later he went on to run a sub 4.4 forty yard dash. He's drug free doesn't know a dbol from a tylenol. Guy just had so many fast twitch muscle fibers.

Did he take advantage of your slipstream when that was timed?

very true and always found I fall into that category for most muscle groups.
I can handle real good weights under 8 reps, the second I gotta get to 10, gotta go much lighter. That lack of weight has me not looking the best I can be, go to 12 reps, even worse.
It's not about ego lifting to not go light, it's knowing how your body works and being receptive to what works best for you...

Levrone was just a beast when it came to benching , he could high rep 405 being a wk out and do 12-15 reps, which is all in his vids

Not really what I was getting at. His ability run pretty damn fast and the fact that he's black suggest he was largely white fiber dominant, making a 405 for 12-15 far more impressive than some random joe benching 405 for 12-15. The more fast twitch muscle fibers you have the worse you are with reps but the higher your one rep max will be. TWo guys bench 405 for 10, the faster guy will bench way more when its max out time. Not to say that there aren't white guys who are fast twitch dominant, chuck vogelpohl is a perfect example. He can outjump most NFL players

Yes but the strongest benchers and pretty much strongest power lifters are white, not black
