Title: Aiming for a new max of 20+ reps
Post by: adrain on December 13, 2011, 10:23:33 PM
I've been kinda bored lately so I've decided to set a new goal pressing 150lb dumbbells on the flat bench.  Over 20 clean controlled reps is what I'm shooting for.  Wish my luck my BROTHERS OF DA IRON!

Those lifts were posted years ago the bench is the only one updated.  Having chronic lower back strains and pains I guy deadlift or heavy squat.  I heavy leg press light squat extensions legs curls and about 10 set of walking lunges.  At one point my dead was at 600 not sure where the 515 came from'

i respect his decision entirely if he wishes not to address steroid usage as long as he doesn't lie and feed people bullshit about how it's possible on only creatine and to try some BSN cellmass products. a lot of people here forget it's still an illegal activity that can cause real life complications so i understand if someone prefers not to openly state their usage, since i think it's pretty much implied here based on his stats anyways, and i don't cast judgment upon him.

I guy address it because I've addressed it a few times already so yes its pointless.  Ppl believe what they choose. I've havnt told anyone if they take cellmass creatine or whatever that it will increase their size and strength. I'm honest about what I've taken past and present. It's about the love of training for me and reaching new goals learning new things.  Ive been doing close grip decline presses for triceps after seeing it suggested by you' KILLS my tri'!   Thanks

I bet you can`t do 225 for 20 on bench or 315 for 15.  I`m not talking about half-rep short stroke bullshit either.  I`m talking full reps, touching the chest with a lockout each rep.

315 for 15= at least a 485-505 possibly even more one rep max.

Shit,he`d crank out way more than 20 with 225 most likely.

I was in a bench meet for reps in Rochester where Ben White did 315 for 15 full range reps and guest poser Johnny Jackson did 315 for 16 good reps.

Adrain could probably equal this if not surpass it going by those DB presses...of course he`d have to train for it a while to get used to the high reps with that kind of weight.

Actually you would be the strongest Bench Presser on Getbig, Bodybuilding.com, and all of the other boards combined as a Natural at your body weight pressing 315 for 15 and a 450-505 one rep max RAW.

Problem is, you are a liar who can`t even do 225 for 10 full reps let alone 20.

I may give it a shot I just think by the way I train low reps I'll burn out faster.  It crazy I once watched a guy handle 300lbs pounds easy easy I'm talking like 12 or so reps, he rested about 5 mins then tried 350 and could barely get it once? Then dropped back down to 315 after resting and got 8 reps? So his stamina was great but is power for the lower rep heavy was weak.  I think I'll be opposite this.

normally I warm set 225 then set 315 not exceeding 10 reps.  My 1st working set starts with 405 this is when I gauge my strength it gives me an idea of the number of sets I'll strive for.  Increasing weight   Each set usually ends up 4 to 5 sets of 4reps. Then a set of 3 and a set of 2.  Then 4x4 sets of incline presses bar sometimes smith.

Adrain, I bench 225 for 15, ffs, and I'm on half the gear you are on. Try 225 for 40 - 50.

You only take half a scoop of cellmass post workout?

I don't think I have ever done the 150's for fifteen, been very close,maybe 13-14 reps, but I have done 315 for 24 reps before and 225 is a joke 40+ easy, so obviously 150 for 15 for dumbells are a lot harder then 315 for 15 :-\

strong lift' Whats your best 1R max?  When I started I followed a bench press training program.  It stated if you can lift 225 for 6 your max should = 315, 315x6=405, 405x6=500.  Over the years I've found this to be very true for myself.

you have benched pressed more than any bber ive seen on dvd.... yes even coleman and levrone...

315x15?! Dang crazy strong! I know I cant do 315 x 15 maybe not even 225X20 I never train that high in reps so I'll burn out fast I'm too use to lower reps.

Didn't you have a 530 bench? If so, you could have done 405 for sets of 10 reps no problem.

Everyone is different for high reps and low reps, cause sometimes the joints give out before the muscle. I have done 515 on flat for a single and that for me equals 405 for 12 reps 315 for 24 and 225 for 50 reps, of course not lock-out reps, but one time a guy called me out at the gym just for fun to lock-out every rep and a 1 second pause on 225 and I got only 30 reps in this manner so it's all relative

After I get to the 6th rep I stop. Save my strength for the additional weights on the next set.  Somedays I feel like I can do 10 or so but I'd rather add weight the next set.

Anyone on the planet that can do 405 can do 315 for 10, the fact that Adrain has not gotton 10 315 is cause he has not tried, gone to failure and put all his mental charge on the line for 315, but if he did he has 20 reps easy

Yes 6 has been the number for me. After dieting down then bulking back up when I get to the point  I can unrack 405 and get six good controlled reps then I know I'm back at 500 one rep max.

The guy is passionate about lifting and is one of the few people on here that actually talks about training. All everyone talks about here anymore is juice, who's on, what's this guy take, etc. This site is "all drugs." Anyhoo props Adrian, you're a tank. Best press for me was db incline 135 for 8.

Problem is, you are a liar who can`t even do 225 for 10 full reps let alone 20.

Yes, I'm suggesting Meso likely does not need to worry about pronating his grip by 12.6 degrees on one-arm pressdowns to shock his tris into new growth.

normally I warm set 225 then set 315 not exceeding 10 reps.  My 1st working set starts with 405 this is when I gauge my strength it gives me an idea of the number of sets I'll strive for.  Increasing weight   Each set usually ends up 4 to 5 sets of 4reps. Then a set of 3 and a set of 2.  Then 4x4 sets of incline presses bar sometimes smith.

You can rep 225 for 30 reps no problem, The KEY is to do your regular workout and after you do 450 or whatever your heaviest sets are, THEN drop down to 225 and it will feel like 135



225 for 10 : average trainer who isn't a twink, good strength

315 for 10 : serious trainer, very strong

405 for 10 (or 5+ reps) : top 1% strength wise, absolute beast

I guess your right but let's do some numbers. I think statistic show about 9% of the population have gym memberships, that is 90 000 out of a population of a million, let's say 45 000 males maybe 5 can do 405 for 10 reps, that's 0.01%,... that is of the males that train or have trained at one point. If you take the entire population then it would be 5 out of a million, that's like 0.002%. doesn't matter how you slice it 1% doesn't fit in any scenerio ;)

i dont even think 5 in 45,000 average males could do 405 for 10, id say MAYBE 1 IN 100,000 or maybe even less, hell in 95 percent of gyms you wont see one legitmate 405 SINGLE in a year let alone 10 reps.

Here in Texas I've seen lots of guys do 405 for atleast a rep!  I've spent some years in Colorado saw a few guys there hit 405.  Over the yrs I've witness a very few get 500 but I have seen it more than once. I've seen both Andy Haman and his training partner Big Mike rep 405 and Andy 500

 while the 150s  are a good lift many times it is eaiser to bench these heavier dumbells then it would be a barbell of the same weight you lose a few lnches range of motion at the bottom with very large dumbells.   Your also able to put your hand in a more neutral grip to get in your optimal strength curve.  As far as 405 x10 there very few people walking the face of the planet can do that.  The odds of a male being able to bench 405 is about 1-10,000 so 315 x 10 would be similar there just isnt many people who can do such things it just seems like it because we spend lots of time around trained juiced up people. The problem with the 405 that makes it rare you required a certain amount of bodymass to achieve the lift thus knocking out 90% of the people just strictly on body weight.

I was just making a point, 405 for reps is the top of the food chain, there's no way on earth to come up with an accurate percentage
the chances of a male being able to bench 405 is around 1 -10,000 you have to consider not many 18< or <55 will do it so that knocks out damn near 5000 off the top.

i dont even think 5 in 45,000 average males could do 405 for 10, id say MAYBE 1 IN 100,000 or maybe even less, hell in 95 percent of gyms you wont see one legitmate 405 SINGLE in a year let alone 10 reps.

I've never seen anyone bench 405. The numbers I see here make me think that either I train with weaklings or that them americunts are super strong.

This. I do 320-330 in a good form for 7-8 reps and half of the gym are staring from the corners (another half pretend not to care lol).. Keep in mind - gus who are posting on bb'ing boards are serious bodybuilders, that's a small percentage, even tho' it may seem that "many" guys who bench crazy amounts are everywhere, when you read these boards. Irl - just in the most hardcore gyms you could see a good number of guys who can go above 320, hell, even above 260 is good.
 My gym on a "hardcoreness" scale is like 7, and I'm one of the strongest there amongst like 120people. So one could calculate approx. statistics when it comes to "regular gym goers".
 As for "regular joes", not even worth talkin' about. general people doesn't even dream about these weights, they doesn't even imagine what it is to handle a mere 225lb above their chest.

Yes he does have a legit 600 lift. However, in his 605 for 2 video, he uses just one spotter and the first rep goes up so easy that he could have probably gotten  4 reps total. Which we all know isn't happening. ;) Oats is right about that video.

Doing a 4 plate bench with your feet up for reps is impressive as hell Adrain.When it comes to numbers i find if you get 10 reps with 2 plates that equals 1 rep with 3 plates,then 10 with 3 will be 1 with 4,and so on.You usually find if you get 25-26 with 2 plates that is equal to a 4 plate for a single.



Adrain - you're making it look easy bro. Top notch form and nice numbers.

Definitely top of the pecking order.

P.S. Meso, I find for every 8 reps with 225lb - i can add 50lb for 1RM. I'll test the 6 rep theory though.

You sound like a bench wonder... What about squats/deadlifts?
That's funny cause I consider it my weakest lift, my squats have never gone pass 500 but for over 4 years have never done anything but deep squats, so I touch my ass to my ankles and I won't squat any other way so 500 may not sound like much but I go ankle deep for 3 or 4 reps, deadlifts are my strongest and have always had the strongest deadlift every gym I've been at. Have done 7 plates and a 25 for a single, 6 plates for 5 reps, 5 for 14 and 405 for 26, just starting to deadlift right now and I am about 10% off got six for a double the other day but taken 2 years off so in three months I am hoping to crack 8 plates, will show you a video in about 4 weeks of me doing 4 plate for 20, shouldn`t be a problem remind me and make sure you call me out on this ;)

Is it possible that Adrian took his MR. GETBIG cash and bought himself a set of phony dumbbells and a couple of phony 45 pound plates? ;D A couple of grand of FREE money can get you just about anything...Just kidding Adrian :D

You're thinking of Aquilles (or something like that), the juiced guy with like 10 posts who won a Mr. Getbig.

I've been kinda bored lately so I've decided to set a new goal pressing 150lb dumbbells on the flat bench.  Over 20 clean controlled reps is what I'm shooting for.  Wish my luck my BROTHERS OF DA IRON!

Over 4 decades of training and yet I've never seen more than 3 people in any gym over that period of time as stong as the average getbigger. Must be the water at this IP address.
