Author Topic: What is your bodyweight and how many times can you bench press it? (Read 10852 times)

Bro, it's not even close. At the time my contest 420 was the national APF record, and I still hold the record at the 132's, but there are guys in single ply shirts getting close to 600, and in tee shirts at 500 now. It's insane. -EK

I'm not going to get in a pissing conest with you about this. I could care less what anyone else did. I know what I lifted and can happily link you to contest results for myself. All of my contest lifts were done in single ply poly only shirts, and I have gone over 400 multiple times in the 48's and 350-370 multiple times in the 32's. If you want to look up other people's results have at it. -EK

Currently no clue. Best ever. 145 x 52; 225 x 15; 385 x 3; 425 x 1 paused, drug free, in a tee shirt, at a bw of 143. -EK

Reread both of my posts before you get your panties in a wad. The 425 was at the gym in a tee. TBH, the pause was not passable in a contest, which is why when I used an old POS bottom line Inzer Blast I hit 420 in a meet, and missed 430. Any further questions? -EK

thats pretty good. Think i got 225x24 @ 195 last year, its so tough maintaining p4p strength though

Yeah I'm always torn between the ego side of strength numbers and trying to keep with a bodybuilding type regiment so I pretty much end up treading water in both categories lol. I can't stick with one or the other $:-\$

Last time I benched seriously was 1998 and at a bench for bodyweight for reps I did 235 for 20 reps without a warm up(they did not count 3 so 17 good strict reps)
They were slow full and strict.
