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

[Ronnie Rep]

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.

I have done that before! Ever do 100's for every bodypart! It's fucking brutal!

[Roger Bacon]

It's funny, but all you have to do to get honest answers on getbig is make sure you mention it.   

[OTHstrong]

Bullshit.

That would be equivilent to a 500 lb flat bench press (MAX). Obviuosly everyone is different and converting the 2 is like apples and orange but either way I suspect some who have a 500 pound max can not bench 315 for 11 on incline.

NOTE; if it was smith machine then it's a joke, smith machine is no where near real weight especially on incline that would equal 275 on free bar max

I could bench 315 for maybe 6-7 reps on the incline but am only benching over 400.

It is not impossible to condition yourself for those few extra reps

500 would crush me. I have good incline and overhead strength.

[Devon97]

Best guess...

12 now,

Best ever & drug free- 29

[cephissus]

Bullshit.

groink mentioned these same numbers (roughly) several times...

[Heywood]

I could do more reps with 225, using a loose style, full reps with some momentum and bounce, than other guys who were quite a bit stonger than me.

Some are good at reps, others are better at 1 rep maxes.  

There's no automatic calculation involved, IMO.

Like running distance versus speed.

[Man of Steel]

I can put up 225 a few times I think.

[trapz101]

3,SHOULDER TO GRASS

[Primemuscle]

Zero. 

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

What are you currently doing exercise wise to achieve your goal and is it realistic?

I know, I just wanted to double check it was Groink 

If he replied with something like "LOL - Just because I can't bench 315 for 11 noone else in the world can!"

Then it confirms it

hahaha spot on, shouldn't have underestimated the large cypriot

ya like I said everyone is different, you are made for inclines but nontheless your 1 rep max should be well into the 400's on flat. Was that smith machine inclines or flat.

At my peak I could do 12 reps incline, perfect form and my flat I could do 24 reps, of course I don't represent the norm but my reps are literally double from flat to incline, on the smith I could do 4 plates incline but I don't consider smith free weight, more like a machine so that is not impressive in my books.

[Psychopath]

I fucking hate benching. I have what they call "pigeon chest". 250lb bench is the best i've ever done.

Deadlifting on the other hand, BEAST 535LB PURE BEAST.

I couldn't go near 500 on bench but I'm inclined 315 for 10 on my best day and that's after bench press
Or dumbbell press

[NotMrAverage]

225? 1/4 of a rep then complete failure. Bar crashing into chest and everything. One of my better lifts.

[ukjeff]

I never bench press.

[dj181]

I never bench press.

why not?

[NelsonMuntz]

I am 43     I do not do this any more    I can still do 225, but I do not know how many reps I can bang out max

Same here, used to be able to do on average 15-20 with smooth, full, strict reps, 25-30 if I did them like an asshole.

[GRACIE JIU-JITSU]

 Is that really important?

[Mawse]

And not a single video was posted, ever.

[ukjeff]

why not?

its a shit exercise for me, I don't get anything out if it.

[dj181]

so do db's work better for you, or are you a fan of isos?

pec-deck ain't bad, but i never got much out of it, or flyes for that matter

[ukjeff]

dbs pec deck and cables.
3 or 4 sets of each...done.
