Not sure what you're mumbling about but back in the day I could. im 50 now I can still hit 315 few reps but I prefer dbs over bench I go up to 100s if that helps your question..

freak ;D

57.678%
This is factoring in the husky getbiggers who tip the scales over 350 and can complete a full body push up.
-
I cannot , though I have never focused on it so much
-
I can't.
Rjdriver=weak bitch
-
I can do 125s on incline db for 10-12
Don't do barbell since I tore my pec so I have no idea what that translates too
-
It's a mod requirement.

Unfortunately you're on Getbig so that means Getbig logic applies to your claim.
That said, 125s for 10-12 auto-translates into 75s for 6.
My apologies, but GB logic is what it is.
Now in order to refute the GB logic you'll need various video clips from multiple angles showing you performing the lift. You'll need to be almost naked so clothing and equipment doesn't aid you in the lift. You may not use any spotters. All weights used must be weighed on a scale prior to lifting on camera. You'll need to provide a currently dated newspaper, birth certificate, driver's licence, social security card and a photographic portfolio of your professional, competitive bodybuilding career in order for your claim to be validated. Also you're current weight must be 250+ and your bodyfat percentage below 10%.
You have a week....all the best!

1] needing on line friends
2] having calluses on your finger tips from replying all day unless your a mod on they Y board ;D
3] crave attention

My best is 405 x 20. 520 x1.

Almost? When did the rule change? All videos I've submitted of my lifts to mods nudity was required for verification... :-\
-
Inclined the 155lb DBs for 6 reps last night then benched 315 for 3 sets of 6. For a single yeh easy 350, especially fresh.
-

I don't believe Ron requires full nudity, but some mods request it....won't name names specifically but the mod's name does rhyme with "Schmape Rape".
-
Used to do 350 or currently? 75% of getbig seems to be over 40 these days.
-
Laughable thread.
Everybody knows there are hunfreds of getbiggers that bench 500lbs, like peanuts. Remember the "500lbs bench club" thread?
-
Nowhere near, recent best was 122.5kg/269.5 x4 with very brief pause at the chest on each rep. Hoping to improve but would be more than happy with 315 for a few reps
-
Actually what I said was true. But i meant all time best. Today I only do like 275. Dont compete anymore. I have no trouble to laugh at myself and dont take myself overly serious. Just saying. Anti schmoe war
-
I can't do half that anymore on a real bench. I use machines as I train at mostly at home (too ashamed to go to a gym) and even that hurts my shoulders. I'm now in my 60s and 100% pussbag. MoS can apply the GetBig Formula™ but off the top of my head I think that translates into 100% au natural.
-
I bench around 35k a side
-
Zero. Two damaged shoulders, so bench pressing is out of the question
Only thing I can do is inclines on some machines
-
I think a better question would be how many guys that bench over 350lbs but can't lift a 250lbs barbell from the floor to over head.
-
Over 400 easily!
please refer to two post above :-X
-
Not me. Only 315 lbs max for one rep back in high school, all natty, no spotter, no homo. One of my pecs hurt for a week after that. Then I grew up and checked my ego at the door from that point forward.
-
I think a better question would be how many guys that bench over 350lbs but can't lift a 250lbs barbell from the floor to over head.
True. My best years ago was a clean and press (strict press) with 185 lbs. on a (approximate) 2.75" diameter bar for 6 reps. That was HARD as I have small, wimpy hands ;D and I rarely use that bar now but if I do, its for strict curls with maybe 50 lbs. total. OUCH! I am a fan of Brooks Kubik's Dinosaur Training as well as Mentzer's H.I.T. ;D As such, I think more of functional strength than I do fictional strength. ;)
Of course now I have nothing but the latter of those two. ;D
-

asinine*, if you're talking about a snatch or clean and press you'd find a hard time proper weightlifters that bench regularly.
-
Very few. Even fewer since most people count their butt coming off the bench, not touching their chest, and a spotters hands on the bar a legit bench.
-
Bench press = very bad movement. Torn pecs and rotators. I cant even lift my left arm overhead now and im 36! Stick with incline, dbs and hammers.

It depends, on what I'm not exactly sure: Genetics, age, luck?
My shoulder started hurting once, to the point of puking. Went to a sports medicine doc who recommended I stop lifting heavy overhead, such as military press and inclined bench press. He said in my case, traditional bench press would be much safer for my shoulder.
Interestingly, I had just increased the weight and frequency on my overhead lifting just before my shoulder started hurting like that.

did you catch my thread on dating apps and girls in different parts of the globe?
as I said there the Scottish females were quite nice, you should head on up there and nail ya a few :)
-
assassin, if you're talking about a snatch or clean and press you'd find a hard time proper weightlifters that bench regularly.
What do you mean by assassin? Do you mean you want to assassinate me or you do you mean asinine? Just pointing out that the bench is one of the worst demonstration of strength. It's phony strength stating a big bench number if you can't back it up with a lousy 250lbs power clean.
Yes, pure Olympic lifters don't bench. Power cleans are used by many football players in addition to benching and other exercises. Using the power clean and jerk will increase vertical leap and sprinting speed. The bench will do little to make a better athlete. Power is what makes a better athlete with strength being second. I watch the big bench press guys in my gym hit the heavy bag like a girl because they have no power. Bet a lot of strikers in the UFC and boxing can't bench 250lbs. The bench is one exercise that is over rated for a long list of reasons.

Thanks mate but I consider myself weak for my body weight need to improve loads.
Took the kids to the Scottish Borders for a week in summer the last 2 years and seen a fair few hot women there, last year there was a young lass staying on the same site with her young kid she always wore these tiny tight shorts at the pub and had massive tits, thought about her during sex with the missus when it was time to cum and had at least 3 wanks in the shower ower her haha
-
Easily but when I do normal bench workouts I barely ever go over 275 for 10. Aging sucks plus I no longer workout with a spotter so I'm not going to be stupid about it.
-
315x10, 365x6 and 405x2-3
-
375x1 end of last year, then a string of injuries. Not bencbing at all these days, and my overhead press has dropped below 275x1 as well now. >:(

That's actually not so bad, at all.
You're one of the sharpest knives in the GB drawer (all, err, I mean, "no homo!"), so I'm curious: what led you to Dino training? How does it and the Mentzer stuff mesh?

Brunette but very dark, had a blonde sister who was a dyke and clearly genetically inferior to her sister.

I could do over 350 before I had my shitbag for six months; after that, I never returned to lifting since:
A. I was broke
B. Removing the bag and reconnecting my intestines left me with a hernia.
It I could get that fixed, I'd train again, but probably not flat bench again.
My best was 370 for a triple, and you could call those legit paused reps. I was doing 350-500mg of Sandra-bought Test E and Dbol from either the same source or maybe crabby out of Thailand (some of you will know exactly who or what I mean :D). Can't remember the Dbol dose, but it was never crazy -- maybe 30 mg. daily for 6 week stretches? I did that atna fat 250ish and, a couple of years later, at 223, when I was benching maybe once a month.
Natty, I don't think I ever did more than a double with either 315 or 325 :?: But I was focuser solely on bodybuilding from 14 to 22 and did mostly machines and heavy dips then.
All excuses aside, I reckon I could have given 405 a ride once upon a time, but natural? PSH. Never. Even with all of the test and orals plus best bench training around, I would never have seen 500, even if I turned into a Big Fat Lenny, weighing over 300 and doing a gram or two of weekly test.
Well, maaaybe then, but I would also surely croak of a massive heart attack in the process. As I encroach upon 40, I say, no thanks! :)

Had that exact same operation mate, also have a hernia below the hole where the shitbag was and two on the main incision, luckily not too big or severe but they definitely a fucking hiderance.

What's funny is that I was stronger when natural, but bigger and more muscular looking when juiced up.

You hate the bench OT1. Most exercises done in the gym are useless for athletics and those who do the "athletic " lifts do them wrong anyhow.
Bodybuilders agent athletes they are competitors so are benchers
-
What percentage? I'd say about 5 or 10%. I know for sure I can't put up 350 right now. I have in the past though however all depends on body weight in my case. At about 2:15 I'm good for about 365 body weight of 220 225 and above I'm good for 350x1 on a good day... On a flat bench that is. Decline is much higher at a lower bodyweight

When I was young(er) ;D some powerlifting friends introduced me to J.C. Hise's program of 20 rep breathing squats. At the time, I hated leg work but found out that I was quite good on the squat and took it as far as I could. I liked the intensity of it all and thought I would give Mentzer's H.I.T. a try. The Hise squat method worked great for me but H.I.T. not so much. I went back to volume but reduced the volume by 50% or so but continued the Hise method of breathing squats for years.
One day over a decade ago while searching the internet I decided to look up J.C. Hise and found that Brooks Kubik was also a fan and bought his book "Dinosaur Training". It was revelatory to say the least. As with Mentzer, Brooks said you can train hard or you can train long but not both. I tend to implement both methods in my training, sometimes alternating them but lately I cannot do thick bar training at all as it hurts my joints too much. I had sawhorses in the garage for bottom position squats and bench presses but ultimately, training alone made it too difficult to really push myself with either Dino or H.I.T.
So these days I just vary the theme of my workouts to include either style or a bit of both depending upon my mood/level of energy. Some days that would include drop sets of curls and tricep pressdowns or close grip palms up pulldowns and machine bench presses. Lately I do one or two working sets after maybe three warmups. My left elbow sometimes "clicks" so I just drop the weight and do strict, slow high rep tricep pressdowns instead of the heavier drop sets followed by negative dips.
It's all good and as Franco Columbu once said, if it works...it works. But I have found that I do need to rest and recover more and both styles encourage that. ;D

I was 24 when I did it. Non-sanctioned event at a bodybuilding show with Dave Shaw as one of the judges. I was training with Gus Rethwisch at the time when he was training for Running man
-
I did 305 for reps of 8 - 10 in my 30's. having seen first hand co workers tear muscle time and time again I forced myself to never get caught up in numbers, and so I didn't care what the weight was
-
I stopped maxing out in college, after I teared or badly pulled my left pec doing weighted dips. Shit hurt like a mofo and I couldn't work chest for months.

No , they were both spotting esfitness benching 1000lb at the time.

265 x 10
Never done a 1rm, don't plan to either
Will probably get upto 300+ for at least 6-8 before the end of the year

Not really training for max strength anymore but I assume that I could still move 350 @ least once at this point (50 years old now, give or take a month) , my last incline bench was 6 sets of 5 @ 285lbs so I'm thinking a week to get the Flat bench form tight again (haven't flat benched in quite a while) and then , yeah- fairly easily for a single.
With that said, I'm currently much more motivated to improve my romanian deadlift and front squat numbers as these are the lifts that will enhance my autumnal years.
-
I generally do:
Warmup
- 135lb's x 30 reps
- 225lb's x 20 reps
- 265lb's x 10-12 reps
- 310lb's x 6-8 reps with spotter
- 355 x 4-6 reps with spotter
Incline and decline max is around 310.
Weights I'm converting from kg' to lb's so might be off by a bit.

I rarely if ever go high reps on bench. Does nothing if you're trying to increase bench poundage
