OP do make sure you warm up, especially if you are natural. If you are on the sauce, you should know it has an analgesic effect where you dont really feel pain (kinda like an aspirin), and also there is this thing called the golgi tendon organ (spelling? - its been a while since i studied this stuff) which tells your body to stop doing whatever it's doing because something bad is about to happen....people on juice pay no attention to this organ. Thats why you don't see many natural people tearing muscles.

oh i know i meant that you're what 200-205? 15 reps with 315 with no equipment is almost world class at that weight.

I read that LL Cool J got 15 reps with 315.

whats so hard to belive in that ll is 6'2..240 - 260..
i did that at 200lb
u go through youtube all the time man.. and im sure u see vids of guys benching big weight
like that black guy who benched nearly 6 plates.. that u posted if he was on here and said he could bench that u would call bullshit...
wouldnt you?
exactly..
cmon man u should realise by now that not everyone is the same.... a lot of lifts u called bullshit on for chris mason as well.. and it turned out he is a strong guy...

Having trained at Gold’s Gym’s Venice, Gold’s Redondo Beach, Hanks Gym in Huston Texas, Samson’s Gym in Rochester, NY., World Gym Venice, Powerhouse Gym, Venice, Muscle Mill, Redondo Beach and about a dozen others and the strongest benchers in the World are right here on Getbig.

In fact, Getbig has the highest number of people repping 315 with shear ease, like nobody’s business than any 5 Gyms in the World… simply amazing!

Oh and one question...do you guys do your presses elbows in or elbows out?...I do mine elbows out....(seems to put a lot of stress on my shoulders)..would I be better able to handle heavy poundages with elbows in?....I feel uncomfortable doing it that way and I don't feel as strong, but I will go along with any suggestions you guys have...thanks

I'm not saying I'm very strong at 52 but I still get people coming up to me in the Gym and commenting about the weights I use. Yet when I compare to what people say they handle on this board I think... "Man I must be the weakest guy on Getbig!"

Things that make you go... hmmmmm.

I don't see people repping 315 all the time, but I'm sure alot of people can. The thing with getbig is that on most people on getbig are committed to working out and getting "big". Most of the people I see in the gym are not committed.

Like the guy who said he can bench 250...or something like that...and then he says that he has a hugh pot belly. I would say that this person is not as committed as I am. Hell when I'm trying to get stronger I will wake up twice in the middle of night for food.

Squad if you were to strip on the fat and then go on a hyper calorie diet (not the pizza and beer you eat today). You could also bench alot at a low body weight.

like i said before man i give you props on your build you look good but you're claimimg weights that the strongest 290-300 pound lineman in the NFL lift at the weight of a decent sized safety, i believe you could bench 225-235 for 15 but no way 315 for 15, sorry.

mesmorph78 · « **Reply #166 on:** October 16, 2007, 08:05:50 AM »

i dont bench 235 my friend
...
from 225 i go to 315 sorry if thats out of your realm.. not mine..
and i never get less than 10 with 315...
the best ive done with it is 15 unassisted reps.. on normal days no less than 10
...i have no need to prove anything to anyone but i will for a good cause...
u put up $50 to a charity of my choosing... and i will post a vid of me benching 315
that i have no problem with..

315 isn't out of my realm, i can usually push 6-7 with it on a good day but you're right no way in hell could i do 15 reps with it, 15 reps is a totally different world than 6, 15 reps is a toy weight basically that should give a guy at least 3-4 with 405.

tell you what, i'll put up 60 if you get 15 UNASSISTED reps with 315 like you claimed.

mesmorph78 · « **Reply #171 on:** October 16, 2007, 08:24:14 AM »

15 reps... was my best ever... that i cannot guarantee.. i have to be on peak for that
...what i guarantee is no less than 10 reps... i already stipulated that
No less than 10..
you said.. i look like i culd bench 235 for to max...
im sain i can do 315 for no less than 10.

15 reps is my peak performance only ever done once
NO LESS THAN 10 REPS IS WHAT I GURANTEE... meanin could be 11 12 or 13
anybody

wisconsinBB · « **Reply #172 on:** October 16, 2007, 08:26:42 AM »

Has the word "rep" actually been defined here. Rep to me is all the way down, touch the chest, then all the way up. I've seen plenty of videos of guys counting some really half ass shit as reps.

i didn't say 235 for a max, i said 235 for 15 would be believable.
