Lol @ all these guys benching more than they squat.

I maintain a squat/bench ratio greater than one by being a horrible bencher.

i wouldnt doubt i bench more than i squat my knees and lower back like the lower weight and higher reps

Hulkotron · « **Reply #28 on:** July 24, 2012, 08:06:01 PM »

Yes higher reps are better for squats in my humble opinion.

BIG ACH · « **Reply #29 on:** July 24, 2012, 08:07:02 PM »

I weigh 230 and can do that about 15 times!

You should do squats with a 110# bag of concrete on each shoulder, excellent for Falcon mass and balance.

The True Adonis · « **Reply #34 on:** July 24, 2012, 09:12:22 PM »

When I weighed 235 from my Perma-Bulker days, I could 315 incline for 6-8.

Its not that good really. Thats about equivalent to me doing 225 for 6-8 at 170 which I can easily do, so Power to weight, I am much stronger now.

Hahaha, a lot of studs in this thread banging out a quick 20 reps at 225 oh brother

just got back from the gym and tried this... got 3

felt like shit, as usual.

Cyp, are you implying that adonis' bench/deadlift ratio at 225 may actually be lower than 1/4?

Adam is a strong dude, and I believe his numbers however I am intimating that some posters in this thread have lifted more shirts at mardi gras than they have barbells

Ruptured my rotator cuff incline benching with only 80kg. No more BB pressing for me...

So you're saying these fellows' gym attendance rates might increase were they to adopt Alex23's workout plan?

MORTALCOIL · « **Reply #42 on:** July 25, 2012, 02:30:08 AM »

I dunno but knowing that I did a solid 6 reps benching your mother, I'd guess a good 20 of my own BW.

The Italian Lifter · « **Reply #43 on:** July 25, 2012, 02:37:38 AM »

done 172 x 1 in my prime

Palpatine Q · « **Reply #45 on:** July 25, 2012, 02:59:55 AM »

225 is my BW

don't know exactly, i can do it a lot...that's my first set weight, pretty much a warmup/set-up set, for heavier weight.

i never push max effort on my first set, or my second....third set is the money set. one and two are just to get to three.

pushing super - hard on the first two is like premature ejaculation, wasted effort

If gym attendance was a full wax and showroom valet of a homeless mens bumhole's, Alex23 would have a million loyalty points

Are you implying that Italian Lifter and Wes are still going at it about which of the two really deflowered Mae West?
