Do you have a stronger bench than Nassar..

[Dipadidu]

Well i just benched 225 for 36 reps...At a bodyweight of 187 LBS....More twice what nassar could do...What's the most you can do..This was after an extreme carb up, where i ate a whole pot of rice the night before.

You benched your girlfriend for 36reps?

[wes]

Matt,I think it would depend on your bodyweight.

36 reps is quite impressive,but it would be more impressive if he weighed less.

Just the same,I`m certainly not knocking him,that`s damn strong!!

You're a retard. 36 reps with 225 is extremely strong at almost any bodyweight. That's the kind of strength you would expect from a 250 lb linebacker in the NFL. There are very few people in the world who could do 36 full reps at 200 lb. That would put your max bench somewhere in the high 400's or low 500's.

Exactly!!  I think the combine record is low to mid 40's and that is probably from guys 275-330ish.  If he did it it's very impressive and on track for world record raw benching....i would like to see a video of it.

Ronnie did 225 for 77 reps at the 1997 Arnold Classic.

[lilwoday09smb]

it depends some guys train for rep max, i myself weigh 190-195 and hit 225 for 20, but i max out at 295, 300 on a great day, i also train without a partner but i just struggle with heavy weight on bench

[legbreaker]

Ronnie is a freak and also not spending his day hitting and tackleing people on a field.  For legit ATHLETES...that train, run, jump rope and do drills all day anything in the 20 and above is impressive.  High 20's is pretty good and 30 is very good and 40's is the record.  Aside from being a freak, Ronnie doesn't worry about drug test and moves only as much as he has to from machine to machine.  36 for a 180 pounder is like I said world record material.

[arce377]

Poor Ronnie can only do 225 for 75 at 300... Choad is the King...

[UpTheDosage]

Larry Allen, who is an offensive linemen for the Cowboys won the bench contest at last year's pro bowl. (he wins every year). He did 225 for 45 or 46. He has maxed at 700 before. He weighs like 350. Anything over 30 reps is pretty strong, no matter how much you weigh.

[mrsirjojo]

I carb depleted for 5 straight days. Then i carbed up for 3 days, loading up with Creative ethyl ester, and carbs...and Consuming 1000 grams of carbs per day, for 3 straight days...I went from 183 before the carb up to 201lbs.That what I’m assuming contributed to all the extra reps..I wasn't even a goal of mine...i was just feeling so strong from all the extra cellular volume...

Well then you didn't do 36 reps at 187, you did 36 reps at 201, right?

[wes]

I once saw a guy rep out with 225 and get 30 reps but he weighed only 175.

The contest was 50 pounds over bodyweight for the most reps you could do.....now that is power.

Again,I never said his 36 reps was weak ,on the contrary it`s very impressive.

Do you think a guy weighing 165 pounds who does 36 reps with 190 is just as strong....I do as it is still 25 pounds over his bodyweight.

You have to take bodyweight and muscular endurance and put them into the picture.

[sgt. d]

I dont get guys that only care about how big their bench is. Guys like Matt C is a prime example of guy just working their chest all the time. I even doubt he is 195 lbs unless he is over 6'0. Not hating, just pointing out the obvious.

[NYCDVR]

Anyone on here who thinks they are stronger than Nasser needs to stop lying to themselves. Keep training in a few years if you keep at it you may gain some muscle. Then you will  realize what muscle is,what it does and how it works. At that time you can look back on the time that you thought you were stronger than Nasser and laugh but right now it is kind of sad because you may honestly believe this delusional lie that you have been led to believe.

For 225lbs you need to be hitting 30+ reps I don't car what some NFL whatever does in his football test. 30-35 is expected  if you are training at the gym(about 1% of you jackasses)

I don't care what some pro bb did or didn't do in a test they had to do for a sponsor at a show

Most bodybuilders do not lift heavy most of the time. That doesn't mean they can't.

Not to flame but I just can't believe how dum people who actually lift can be. I expect it from others but you guys lift. And you still think the 300lbs bb are all show and no go. This is why I never come to this board it is supposed to be a bb board but instead you have a bunch of want a bees thinking they are somehow stronger than Nasser El Sonbaty idiots

[BEAST 8692]

wow, phew...i just did 225 for 56 reps!!! at 90lbs

carbed up for 6 days starting at 88 and finished at 290lbs, but yeah, hard core dudes.

full reps too (lockout to 6 inches below my chest every rep), even put my feet up on the bench to make it harder.

fuck man, that was hard...oh shit, wait a minute??? dudes, i've just realised that i'm stronger than nasser ever was. and it only took me 1 minute on the key board.

high five dawgs.

[WOOO]

I can do 225 for 40. then superset with 315 bent over rows...

thats only for your warm up right?   

[Petrucci]

i think i can do 225 reps with 1 lb....does that count for something??? 


note that im being very honest here...

i said i THINK i can do it...

Yep I guess I got him beat - did 110kg (242.5lbs) for 15 on bench (would have did more but got a cramp in my calf at about 14) and the same on incline.

[the choad]

Damn!!!!!! new record today...225 for 41...My weight before the carb up was 183.1.Taken on a high end scale on my gym today. I'm on a CKD and its zero carb for 6 days, then 2 day carb up. I consumed about 1700 grams of carbs in those 2 days. I'm not cycling right now. However, for shits and giggles i decided to use a few anapolan 50 tabs during the carb up for better glycogen partitioning effects. My muscles were so full it was incredible and i was able to beat last week’s record....


Please note that due to extreme gylcogen partitioning effects from adding the Drol my weight was 204 today...


My goal over the next few years will be to beat ronnie's record of close to 80 reps of 225...Does anyone know what the real number of reps he did with 225....

He did 72 reps at an expo I believe to give Jimmy "The Fag Bull" Pellechia "something to shoot for"...

Bro I lost over 1+ pounds of fat this week, so my real weight without CARb manipulation is 185...so 225-185=41 lbs..

Thanks for the info hedgehog...72 is a lot of fuckin reps..

Bro I lost around over 1+ pounds of fat this week, so my real weight without Crab manipulation is 185...so 225-185=41 lbs..

Thanks for the info hedgehog...72 is a lot of fuckin reps..

um Choad wtf is crab manipulation?

interventions are the new thing man.........you should try one you drunk fvcking cvnt..................

[MisterMagoo]

in the spirit of everything else, video this. 40 reps is pretty impressive at that size and i know a bunch of us would love to see it. i don't mean to sound antagonistic, but considering the hell adonis is getting for his 112 rep deadlift with 225 i'd think a 40 rep bench with the same would be game for the same scrutiny given the difficulty different between the lifts.

[MisterMagoo]

I did 135 for about 50 or so reps back in September of last year.  No idea what I can do now, but probably a few more than that.  As for 225, I only did 16 at most, but with a spotter and doing it on a day where I'm feeling stronger (like today), I think 20 wouldn't be impossible.  I got 14 after doing some heavy sets before that and negatives with 365.  I don't really do negatives though.  Does anyone here think they are of value?

burn out your cns more than anything. maybe for a rep or two at the end of a set, but i don't see the point in taking weights over your max just for negatives.

people keep saying that muscles are stronger on negatives, well no shit. you're letting the weight down, not lifting it back up. that's like saying you can run down a hill faster than you can run up it because your legs are biomechanically engineered to go downhill. you're going with gravity, duh.

[Necrosis]

i did 55 reps with 135 on seated military press before, im sure i could do around 30 or so reps on incline no prob. im strong at inclines and shoulder but lag in the flat bench, it just does not feel natural to me at all.

[Necrosis]

the microtrauma induced by negatives can lead to quick overtraining and undue soreness. i dont see any benefit from them what so ever, the negatives rule out the positives. controlling the weight is one thing but above threshold weight is asking for trouble, especially on a regular basis, and arent you natty too matt, so i would watch out for the overtraining syndrome if i were you.
