Do you really claim to bench 405?

[Tedim]

I always thought of 315 as decently strong...dude isn't a pussy..  anything under that for a 1rm for a guy that has been training a few years is total bitch status.

405 and up is where the big boys chill

Age is a factor....315 at 40 is ok....405 is a peck tear.

[SuperTed]

I could count on one hand the number of times in my life I've seen someone in a gym benching 315 or more unassisted with good form but maybe I work out in pussy gyms

Same here. On the internet, almost everyone claims to bench +400. But in real life, I very rarely see anyone go over 315.

Makes you wonder.....

[njflex]

true, once the weight hit 405 n up i was steppin off, i couldnt mess with that. i saw a dude close grip 405 for reps once, that was impressive bigtime

AT DIAMOND GYM..they were freaks there all shapes and sizes..

Yes.

People rarely max out (by that I mean actually performing a one-rep max) and I think most vastly overestimate what their 1-RM would be when extrapolating it from their max reps with a lesser weight.

For example I think it's pretty common for Joe Gymrat to be like "I can do 225 for a shaky eight reps with a spot, surely I can crank out 315 for just one, after all it's only one more plate!" when that is almost never the case in reality.

I saw some beast, looked like a caveman, long beard and that, all dirty. Bench 405 close grip for fucking 12!!

[Irongrip400]

Flint, sorry man, but you are so full of shit, I can smell it through my computer screen.  You sound like my nephew who claimed to run a 4.5 40 in high school, and says he can still break 5 seconds now.  I bet him $1,000 to $100 from him to do it, and he backed down.  Just because your high school coach lied to you to elevate your self esteem, doesn't mean you have to pop off on this discussion board about it.  

BTW, for the record, I benched 405 when I was 22 at a bodyweight of 235lbs.  I am 32 now, haven't trained in two years, and have no doubt I could push 300 now.  I also knew a guy in college, who at our BP meet, did 465 at a bodyweight of 180lbs.  He was about 5'7, and you would laugh at his arms, they were about 15".  Some people are just built for it.  

Now, I'M off to count MY piles of money, and go eat some Tai food.  Tedim, I'm, one step closer bro, sent your boy a link the other day with some trucks I'm scoping out.

[galeniko]

what would this translate to flat bench I mean. Im scared if I max out Ill tear a pec

maybe bit less than 400lbs for 1.

its im[possible to say.some who can do 3 plates for 8reps cant do 2reps with additional 20lbs.some can.

who cares, you dont want to be a powerlifter.

look me, shoulder blown the hell out.how come, precisely bc caring about "big" lifts

meanwhile you gotta be careful to not blow out the knees with those amazing sprints

[_aj_]

It ain't the knees that blow sprinting, brother. It's the achilles 

This, I know.

[gracie bjj]

At least some of the others were probably just trolling. With Flint, I think he actually seems to believe what he writes which makes it even more hilarious.
