As many times as you've been 21.

A truck load of times.

I don't bench anymore. No idea. Probably zero.

I agree its worthless for bbing. My chest is still shit but I noticed it was alot fuller  when I was only using  dumbells and hammer strength. Noticed more front delt growth with flat benching.

I think this is about right

275 for 5 reps- should be g2g for a 315 bench
275 for 10-15  reps - 350-400lb bench
275 for 20  - 400-450 lb bench

anyone benching 275 for over 25 reps should be able to hit 500

Giving up bb bench was a very hard decision for me. Not that I was good at it, but I always believed (because Arnold) that the bench was the ONE upper body exercise. So I kept at it for 30 years. No mas.

Same here.  I was never a strong bencher.  I still do it on occasion, but I use dumbbells most of the time now because I like having functional shoulders.  I probably could not bench 275 once.  Even in my 20's I could only do it about 5-6 times.

I'm laying of the bench press for my shoulders sake, but I could probably get about 3 as a lean natural. Not bad for having small joints.

I don't know to be honest.  Last time i did BB bench for reps i worked up to 385 for my last working set.  On a good day i could probably bench 275 at least 15 times.

I could do 12 reps with 315 for about 3 years ... took me 8 years to get there, natural


Paying now for it though

Same here, but I got up to 6 reps.

One of the go ruck events I do may now incorporate bench press into it.  Now that both my shoulders are fixed, I may have to (temporarily) revisit the exercise.

Oh please fuck off! U got 6600+ post and haven't learned yet!

It doesn't matter, no one fucking care.

Join a strength club if u want to lift heavy and become an ugly fatass!

Alot of people can be much stronger than they actually are, but the doesn't care about it, doesn't put effort on being strong, docent like the low intensity heavy shit 1 rep 10 minutes rest and then 1 rep...eat a lot of food and become fat, look like shit etc etc...

If u want a healthy nice looking body u need to do cardio and high intensity training with more reps and keep calories low...and thats not how u become strong.

Your muscles will not grow an inch no matter how heavy u train. Just make them muscles tired in some way or another and you get the muscles u get...

theres no holy book that says muscle mass or abs matter more than strength. People are free to value one thing over the other as they choose.

I would stop around 12-14.  Even a lighter weight the lactic acid build up starts to burn
