how many times have you benched 225?
« on: April 27, 2012, 03:28:45 PM »
Every 3-4 months I have a chest workout and just for the hell of it, I grab two plates per side and do 1 big set to failure usually ending up between 30-40 reps, well off to the gym, goal is forty.

My best 225 lift was 46 reps, How many reps have you done 225?

46 reps??  That's world class elite.  Please post a video of you even doing 30.  I would love to see it. Amazing! Just amazing!

LOL, world class elite?

Merely a warm up for an average getbigger.

Most people here bench 600lbs for reps, they warm up with 300, all natural of course.

100lbs dumbell flies until you fall asleep out of boredom, no problem, all on one meal a day, no supps.

Before I retired on occasion I would work out at a gym  during lunch. Getting changed in the locker room 5 guys came in. One complained what a pain it was to load the leg press. I asked what type of weight are you talking about. He said nothing crazy just 900lbs to 1000lbs. Another guy piped in that they better get bigger dumbbells because the 120lbs were to light.

Watching the guy leg press he had the back board so high he barely bent his knees.  I wasn't impressed. He would have gotten a much better workout if he put 500lbs on the machine with a low back board and bent his knees in a decent range of motion. I really believe a soccer mom could have done what he was doing in that leg press.

The other guy got to incline dumbbell benches.  He stopped 6 to 8 inches short on the down stroke. I really doubt he could have handled 90lbs if he wasn't ego lifting.

I haven't done it in a while but about a year ago I did around 19 or something. I know I can bench 170kg/375lbs as of last week though. New PB. Not too bad for a 6'5" dude

edit: wasn't 27

I can hit 24 with 225, but 375 would get stapled to my chest.  Lucky bastard.
