Currently benching 275 for 6 followed by 220 for 12 - nothing special considering I'm heading for the health look these days.

My best is 350 for 6 but that was " supplement assisted"

oldtimer1 · « **Reply #11 on:** August 01, 2011, 06:28:18 AM »

I don't bench at all anymore. It makes my shoulders tight and prone to injury. I think benching is for young guys. I can name four 400lbs plus benchers I know who now in their late 40's cannot bench anything due to pec/shoulder injuries.

Benching is inherently a bad range of motion for the joint making it tight in my opinion. I notice when I use a hammer strength bench machine everyone has the same starting point instead of the thickness of their torso. How many fat guys have what seems to be a really short range of motion from the chest. Most heavy benchers can't push heavy weight on the hammer strength due to the handles being lower than what they are use to.

Did 285 for 6 clean reps last week pretty good for me. I have real long arms.

flipper5470 · « **Reply #16 on:** August 01, 2011, 07:49:55 AM »

I did 225 for 10 last week...trying for more today. Could do 15 last year as I was rehabbing a distal bicep tendon reattachment...currently rehabbing a broken humerus with ongoing median nerve neuropathy. I used to be able to do 315 for 10 when I was a bit younger and not as prone to stupid accidents that lead to surgery.

I'm almost 50...should I just say fuck it and start golfing?

BIG ACH · « **Reply #17 on:** August 01, 2011, 07:51:39 AM »

My max was

225 lbs X 12

350 lbs X 1

Not that impressive, cause it was at my heaviest when I weighed 260 lbs.

I'm 225 lbs right now, and haven't really flat benched in a long time!

deadz · « **Reply #18 on:** August 01, 2011, 07:56:44 AM »

315 for 6 on my fourth working set. Haven't maxed in years.

BILL ANVIL · « **Reply #19 on:** August 01, 2011, 08:04:33 AM »

done 225X 25 when I was 196 or so. max around 365. 315X3 without gear.

now be lucky to get 275, rotators f*cked.

Thespritz0 · « **Reply #20 on:** August 01, 2011, 08:52:36 AM »
