Someday... I'll do half that.

nope...ive done the 140's for 6 before...but nothing over that....
-
150's dumbbell bench presses for 3-4 reps
-
I did four without help on a low incline... the last two were def. assisted ;D

nah, I usually do flat barbell presses for warmups.
-
i warm up with the 60,s then go right to the 140,s for 8 reps or so on flats

I'm sure if you did it as a real exercise you could do it ;D
-
i did the 100s ONCE for like 3 reps on the flat DB press. My bones hurt for like 2 weeks. never really go above the 80s now. Do it after flat and incline BP.
There are only a very few at my gym who ever go near the 140s. I've never seen anyone touch the 180s
-
better stay out of the gym all together, your bones might hurt
-
i do the 120s for 4 on my max on flat db bench, i use the 110s on incline for 6-8
-
I mess around with the 50 lb DBs and then work my way down.
-
Got 150's for a couple once. Like 240 said things hurt but not in a good way. Those days are over I'm a 10-12 rep man these days.

How's that working out for you?

On a 10 year old girl's frame?
-
I don't know many 10 year olds that are 6' 235 lbs, but if you say so, slim.
-
125's for six is the best I ever did
-

-
agreed!
-
Loading them would be the hardest part for me, I'll try it soon. But I don't think I can, never did higher than 110's :-\ But I mainly do barbells so who knows?
-
when the dumbells get into the 140 + weight every 5 lb increase is felt alot imo,just because a person can do 150 pounders for 8 good reps doesnt mean he will be doin the 160,s for the same reps in 5 months or so.most of us will never be able to handle the 170,s in our lifetime nevermind the 200,s,im sure some of you can and will but unfortunataly most of us wont
-
Pre pec tear, I was repping the 150's for 8-10 AFTER doing incline presses. I'm 5'3" and around 190-210 so I thought this was pretty heavy.
Now, it has taken me 4 years post injury to get back to 90 lbers for 12 reps. I hope to crack the 100's this year.
-
I can't even pass 50 dumbell.. let alone 150!!!
-
160's X 12. Spotted by Mr. 0.0% aka Flex. It was many pounds of bodyweight and many cc's ago ;).
-
I'm not sure how much 140 pounds is but the most i've done is 50 kg dumbells and thats only because my gym doesnt have any heavier ones and i've only been doing 50 kgs for the last 2 months.
-
gyms I went to only went up to 150's...I would do them for 10 unassisted on incline presses....surprisingly though I only would get 315 for 10 on the incline at the same time. I'm much better with bells. The best thing to do is to get the dum bell sleeves at a gym store or online and load them up your self...With some pairs you can get 3- 25's on each side and the bells weigh 10 or so them selves. It's not that important, but just for fun.

I did the 200lb dumbbells for six reps a few weeks ago at Gold's in Venice. I could have done more but I was having problems with my wrist.
-
i did the 140's for 9 i got the 150's for one go figure

Sounds like you got tired :( or yo :(u need to get more psyched up >:(
-
Venice Golds is one of the few gyms you'll find 200's at....some good hardcore places got them or a little lighter but not many. Vince Mcmahon has them at his gym in CT......and has used them for single arm rows.

It's all in your head man. You CAN do it!!!!!!!
-
ya im kind of the same, i can do 225 for 17 but i max out at 305 on a good day
-
140 lbs for 8 incline :)
-
HA! i like my rotator cuffs how they are thank you.
Very true. I injured my rotator cuff last year benching the 125's.
-
My gym only has 100s. Which I have inclined for 13-14 reps.
-
you guys got some crazy strength man,especially the guy who said he uses the 200,s,thats monster strength imo
-
I used to do 62kg bells (I think that's a couple of pounds under 140) for 20 reps on incline. That's the heaviest the gym had but if I were to speculate I'd have done 140s for 20 reps flat pretty easy.
-

That's very very rare for a good bodybuilder. I've seen guys like Chris Confessore use weights like that, but he also has bench press records in many divisions including a 720 or so personal best. I also saw Lee Priest,while training with my friend Mike, incline 180's or so I believe. He's is very strong and handled them better than a lot of BB at golds...so yes, 200 are very, very strong.
-
i saw a guy using the 180,s once and i was very impressed to say the least
-
The dumbells at my gym only go up to 100's. :'( :'( :'(
-
now the next question?
For those of you whom claim you do those weights, do you use a FULL range of motion or Colemanesque?

is coleman that bad - he didnt lock out all the way, he was pumping the weight. I personally dont see what was wrong.

There is nothing wrong with the way he pumps those DBs...if you try it, you will see that it actually makes the lift more difficult and keeps constant tension on the muscle.

It's more like he doesn't go all the way down.
-

yes he does. ::)
-
coleman goes all the way down but alot of people dont. i hate watching guys on barbell bench stop 5-6 inches away from there chest, i agree you dont have to touch your chest. i prefer to. but at least go closer
-
yes he does. ::)
&search=ronnie%20coleman
Well the plates get in the way but still not as deep as it could be. If the handles were attached to a bar it would be 3 inches from the chest.

that i agree with bro.
-
i saw a guy with the 110,s going about 4 inches down then going back up,i thought maybe hes doing partials but i found out he just does all his exercises like that,when he squats he goes 3 inches down then bang hes right back up,some people just dont have a clue man and its ashame.go lighter if you have to but get the full range of motion for the best growth
