Honestly, how many times can you rep 225? BENCH PRESS

[dr.chimps]

No idea. Did 19x100lb Dbs 2 weeks ago. More worried about my stance at the plate.    

[Meso_z]

5-6. 81kgs, clean.

[jodsy]

5438 reps just to get a pump

[Nails]

2 maybe

Some big, strong soapy studs in this thread!!  Let's get some peel pics of you beefcakes!

You can soap me up any time you manly beekcake.

Can't see myself pushing more than 7-8 reps before my triceps bomb. On a great day maybe 10 reps but it's unlikely. I don't really try for maximums any more. ORM, dunno, maybe 300. Not interested in trying.

I'm the lightest I've been since high school. Sitting at 90kg (198) as of last night so probably 88-89 morning weight. Dieting (and Clen'ing  ) like a fiend. I'm noticeably weaker. Very noticeably

Look at it this way, if you can bench press 225 for even one clean rep, you are significantly stronger than an average US male.

I've worked out with untrained guys who outweighed me by 60-100lbs that were far weaker than I am. The average person is pathetically weak.

Don't tease me there hot stuff.

  Like Pet shop, I was doing 315 x 15 in 2000     I do not think that I can do 225 x 15 now

I haven't really done any flat benching in years. I'm doing a chest workout tonight so I'll try it out and see how many I get.

I'm with you on not doing much on the flat bench press. There is enough other equipment which replicates conventional bench presses at the gym where I workout, allowing me to get a really good pump and grow my pecs without resorting to bench pressing with a spot and all that. I also prefer to train alone.

[Primemuscle]

I did 199 reps the other day but failed on 200.

What? Maybe using the bar and no added plates, unless you are Superman! Have you been keeping something from the rest of us? 

[Roger Bacon]

I did 99 reps and a bitch ain't one...

[Primemuscle]

i once did 100 reps with no weight on the bar, and no bar either.

i pretended to be grabbing the bar, and used all focus on mind muscle connection, it sure felt like 225lbs or bit more.

started to burn somewhat at 50 reps, but i bravely did the other 50 reps.

full rom,full squeeze.

Did you do this in public? It must have looked pretty strange if you did.

Have you ever noticed how little weight people use when shooting exercise videos. I guess it wouldn't do to have them actually appear to be working hard.

53 on a good day

[Ursus]

35

[BikiniSlut]

Zero. 

I can't even bench 135 once.....and that is the goal.

[OTHstrong]

Zero.

[YngiweRhoads]

Haven't flat benched in over 10 years and it felt strange as hell trying it out yesterday. I did 4 reps and stopped because I actually had balance issues. I might've done a few more if I pushed it. Back to incline dbs next week.

Since we aren't expecting the second coming any time soon, I'll write you down for 10.
