6 plates on bench...How long?

[runnerbabe]

yeah the majority of the worlds population can bench 315 for reps. no big deal. 

Uh, okay-- like now I feel totally inferior hearing this-- LOL 
I guess I better start bringing it!

[texasRUSH]

lol man with that enthusiasm you'll be there in no time!


then you'll get 315 for 4...then 6..then 10

and then your working rep range will be in the 300's! HELL YEAH BABY!

Pressing 300+ while weighing only 200 is doable. It's not a magic number. Just take your time.

I run a gym that has 500 members and 3 people can bench 315, I being one of them.  Now, it's more of an upscale gym but it still has regular gym-type people.

i have only seen 1 person under 200 pounds at my local gym press 315 without the spotter doing half the work...

 

[WOOO]

benching really depends on genetics... i have been lifting for 14 years and the heaviest i can go is 405 for 5 reps... still increasing slowly... i am 28, so i expect to be able to lift more in the future, but my training partner can lift 405 for 12 reps.... he is the same age and weights 50lbs less than me...
