man, with all of these bench monsters on the thread below i think we should start a bench press team, Mr. Intenseone does 405 for 7, Hugepecs does 500 plus even though they both appear to be 195lbs. each, we could take over the bench press world, look out Ryan Kenelly and Scot Mendelson. ::)

Guys, for the last freaking time, I'm gonna say that, you dont need to look like a fucking grease ball to be strong. ya'll need to get out of the house and go to your community centers, and see guys that weigh less than 200lbs and yet, they can handle weights that are twice their bodyweight. I dont see nothing difficult to understand here. Why ya'll making it a big deal ::)
-
ok "hugepecs" haha.
-
tell me when we get to squats. Wednesday I squatted 405. No belt. No wraps.
-
I am weak as shit!
I bench the 130 lb dbs for 7 and think I am a beast!!!! I think anything over 350 for a natty for reps is very impressive. I have only seen one person in my life (not on the sauce) put up 405.
-
ok "hugepecs" haha.
oh man your stupid posts are funny as shit ;D

Dear Friends,
Kind regards
Asking a guy what he bench presses is a lot like asking a guy his penis size.
You ll never get the truth.
I bench 750lbs and have a 14 inch weiner
Yours thankfully

these pussy ass punks are so infatuated with bench press numbers that they fail to realize that if you can't squat more or equal to what you bench, you're not that strong, giving the fact that you have more power in the lower body.

agree with you totally. Sarcasm obviously doesn't go to the gym much. At my gym, I see people repping with 300+ almost everytime I'm there. Sarcasm must be a weak lttle bitch.

I don't squat at all, I train my legs sparingly, guess I am a pussy.
-
i hit 405 for a single at my all time best,i weighed 245 so in reality it wasnt all that impressive.i seen guys 50lbs lighter than me do 405 plus now thats strong imo
-

NOT NECESSARILY, ALL I'M SAYING IS YOUR QUADS HAVE MORE POWERS THAN YOUR CHEST. THE GREAT ED COAN SQUATTED 1100LBS, HIS BENCH PRESS WAS BETWEEN 500 TO 600LBS. WOULD YOU CALL HIM WEAK, BECAUSE HIS BENCH NUMBERS DOESN'T MATCH HIS SQUAT

I am sure I could squat more than I bench, I just need my legs to stay lean and wirey so I can do high kicks. I don't train with weights to achieve the same results as the other members here, but I love to train, just the same.

Mr. Intenseone DID 405 for 7....not anymore and I wish I was 195, I'm down to 215 after dropping from 232lbs!
-
Ed Coan has never squatted 1100.I believe his best is 1036.His bench was done with no bench shirt and at 220.In the gym he did a 560 at 198 in the bench.He has also deadlifted well over 800 off a five inch block with no belt for 5 reps.He also did 405 in the behind the neck presss at 220.

Coan's also deadlifted 894 for two reps with straps in training.

I might have get his squat number a few lbs higher, I dont recall the corect number, but yes, he did squat over 1000lbs, but how much can we all assume GENE RYCHLAK the guy who bench press 1000 lbs could squat?

If you believe Gene Rychlaks 1000 lbs benchpress is legit I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you. 8)
Gene's shirt would not be allowed in any real competition, and the lift in itself would've gotten three reds in ANY federation.
Mendy is a legit bloke.

Don't worry man, your bench numbers will go up in time. Just stick to it!!

but 2 years ago at the Arnold Classic, many witness his Attempt at 1015lbs, eventhough he failed, but I give the Man credit for attempting such a feat, and I honestly believe he can handle that

HUH? Ever been to a power meet. Bench is first and always about 1/2 the lbs. of the squat, which is 2nd. followed by the DL. That's where 800lbs. is what the top juiced up power lifters in RI are doing. If you cant get a combined 1700, don't even enter a meet. No power lifter ever could bench what they squat let alone DL. I won't even go into #'s, but if you bench what you squat, that's a sight to see.
-
I did that Sunday using both a belt and wraps.
It makes me wonder how much a bench shirt would help just for interest sake. The wraps in particular helped a lot I think. A bench shirt would be an interesting experiment.
Meh bench shirt is such a hassle, takes time to get used to.
-
Should we start a team of the whiners who can't do over 400 and bitch and moan about it to no end? Give me a break. If you are serious about wanting a bench over 400, you are at the right place and there are people who can help you if you ask. Shit, onlyme is COMING BACK and can do 315 for 12. We have some genetic freaks here as someone said and you can either use them or cry about them. It's up to you.

The squat is the first lift in a powerlifting meet, you dumbass. I don't think ANYONE can squat or deadlift twice what they bench. That's almost impossible.
Also, a 1700 total is a huge total. You're an idiot.
-
As I get stronger on bench my elbows alway go to shit (tendinitis) so I have to bench lighter.

Thanks a lot, for clarifying this for him

i think we need guys who can do 500 for 12 for this team.
most guys on getbig did this while at college.

i havnt seen many casual lifters (average getbig member) do more than 275 naturally. Started the htread to see some of the crazy numbers being thrown up.
funny most of these guys doing over 400 naturally could have won many a natural powerlifting tournament.
-

i never claimed a monster 500lb. plus bench like you did, post the pic or vid of you doing that.
-
i just did a quick warm up with 465 for 15,ill post now while im in between sets,im only going up to around 680 today cause my right delts sore
-
maybe im a skeptic cos im shit but i dont undersytand how so many190lb high school kids claim 320lbs etc. maybe its sumnmat to do with training or supps. nut the people in ireland are so much weaker than wat i hear from the usa.
400lb bench is rare from wat i seen. in many gym less rare than more so. but with my own eyes ive seen 3 pppl my lifetime do this. tho my gym aint exactly hardcore
-

Surprisingly he got a 1000 pound squat passed at an IPA meet one time. There is a video of it on Irongame.com. In all fairness though it really doesnt look to impressive.
-
if you want 400 lbs on the bench bad enough you'll get it...
took me six months :-\
-
i was having trouble locking out 405 for about 2 months,thank god some older powerlifter guy took me under his wing and schooled me on the power rack,he showed me some awesome stuff on that rack and 3 weeks later i locked out 405,it was the best feeling in the world to break that 400 barrier for me
-
315 for 5

Most people on this board are full of shit. Unless you train at a gym like Metroflex or Gold's Venice, you aren't going to see more than a handful of guys bench 400. The USAPL (IPF) state record here in Texas is around 430 in the 198 class, and Texas has some of the strongest powerlifters around. I've seen guys brag about huge lifts on the squat and bench, but when you see them train they only do half reps. I suspect more than a few guys on this board fall into that category.
-
I am hoping to be able to do a rep with one of those big ones on each side soon.
-
I'm not sure where you guys train but,i've seen quite a few guys rep out 405,i'm at 233# right now and have a max of 425 and thats right before my first cycle :) but i'll admit i'm a diabetic and I do use my insulin to my advanatge :-*

Dear Friends
Kind regards
I am at a powerlifting meet today, in Maidstone,Kent,England.
The squat is first.
The squat is always first.
As for onlyme pressing 315 for 12.
Theres a guy at my gym whos 190lbs and can do that.
Yours thankfully

What is the strategy with these guys? To become such a massive fatass that you only have to lower the weight 5 inches before hitting your chest? A few more pounds on that guy and they could have just wedged him in there and called it done without moving the bar.

I bench without wraps and straps !!!
-
Haha, I forgot all about "Huge Pecs" and his "Yeah I bench 500+ and weigh 195 what of it? It's no big deal."
-
My rotator cuff just told me to tell you guys not to mention the term "bench press" ever again.
-
Most I've ever seen in a gym was 360lbs - tall dude and large framed.
-

Coach did 535 at 181 while balanced on a soapy stud. It was no big deal.

"Huge Pecs" more like "Huge Erection After Walking Through The Locker Room"

hahahaha, every other poster in that thread does 405 plus, where do these guys live in Benchopolis. ::)
LOL.. @benchopolis... 5 years ago and still funny... where man hole covers are 45lb plates and bus tokens are 2 1/2lb plates ;D

That is hard to believe. Although 360 is a heavy weight, all in all, it isn't uncommon to see guys left much more than that in a gym. What type of gym (atmosphere) do you lift in?

I've seen one guy in my life regularly bench 495 for 1 or 2 reps. He was a competitive powerlifter and had some sort of shirt but I don't know anything about that stuff. Other than that I've rarely seen anyone do more than 315.

I just find that hard to believe. Maybe the two gyms I have trained in just have some strong mofos there. I have seen guys bench over 500 lbs...absolutely insane to watch. I have seen guys rep 315 daily at my old gym....not as common in the gym I'm at now, but still done by many. I just wonder what most gym goers see as a strong bench.

I certainly don't see 315+ daily but I've never belonged to what one would consider a "hard core" gym (mostly university gyms, family fitness centers, and Gold's-type places).

Coach did 535 @ 181lbs yet "only" benched 405x7?
-

If he did, that is incredible. I have a friend who weighs 188 and did 405 for 1. Strong little fucker!! He is still young, 21 and already complaining about his shoulders hurting. He will learn sooner or later. Ego lifter :(
-
I have never actually done 405 x 1 Instead I do sets of 8-10 reps with 320
-
535 is when I was 23-24. 405x7 is when I was 40. That's when I tore my chest.
-
Just playing Devil's Advocate

I am in Ireland. Its 2x44lbs plus a 44lb bar then the 2x5.5lb plates and then the 1lb collars lol
Small increments seem to work lol

What's wrong with using the 2.5s?

Which lift are you talking about?
-
-
i was doing 315 for 10 back in late 90,s but i weighed 245 so thats not really great,405 for 1 rep at my best
-
I am not a fan of the bench press I prefer incline press cause nothing looks more awesome than having a huge upper chest in your v neck shirt in da club.

Not that long ago. I was 51 and back after a month layoff.

when i was powerlifting in bordentown corrections facility in south jersey we had 3 judges sitting there,one directly in front of us,and 2 on the sides. on bench press we had to pause it for a second then explode up, i did 375 which wasnt great,i didnt use a bench shirt like some guys did tho,i was benching over 400 , 405 actually was the most i ever did in my life.i weighed 212, i squatted 500 and deadlift 500, i didnt place high at all but it was a fun experiance. i remember acouple guys weighing 170 benching 450 and squatting over 600 and deadlifting over 650,thats impressive considering they where natural,i think they where anyway cause i was the one who had the anadrol and dbol and only gave it to my teammates ;)
