Just curious.

Weight: 175
Height: 5'8
Max Bench: 235

**TROLL** · 09-19-2007, 05:34 PM

long ago when i was a young healthy college student my best flat bench was 225 and i weighed 175 lbs, 6' tall. now i weigh like 165 and i probably cant lift 150. blahhh i need to get back to the gym.

ITSTOCK · 09-19-2007, 05:35 PM

5'9", 175, 315#'s, 2 lift max (we ARE talking about a barbell bench flat/free weight, right? if it's one of those stupid machines, who the hell cares). I just tried it today, didn't go higher because I had no spot. Otherwise, I think "max weights" are stupid.

narrow grip is the same as wide grip for me also, some people excel at one or the other. Also, not that it matters much, but I tore my pec all of the way back in high school, a little over 4 years ago trying for max bench and just started doing bench again 4 months ago. It's really not worth it to strain yourself trying for max!!

OMGz Turbo · 09-19-2007, 05:39 PM

back in the day of high school i was 280 6', and was doing 350 with bar/free weights. Max was 390.

Used to be a monster back in the day, lol. Now ill be lucky to hit 300 on my max. I can definitely do 250 no problem though but im by far out of shape.

Meant to add- only reason i was ever that big wwas because of my dad pushing me far past my limits. He's the type you'll never be #1 unless you push beyond your limitations. Work for the Gold...the whole be all you can be type. So yeah please note: My dad is a asshole. I didn't even like playing football i did because i had too lol

Well now thats over

255 bench.. my bench is weak because my arms are so long, my DL and cleans are pretty high for my weight though

SeMaxima99 · 09-19-2007, 06:40 PM

that seems kinda low for incline if your flat is that high... i can usually do 140 dumbbell and 185 barbell

i guess dumbbells are awkward though

wgknestrick · 09-19-2007, 10:38 PM

I tried to find pics of the "whatcha bench" SNL skit, but I don't think they exist. The one with the guys with the real little legs and fake muscles.

Emillio Estivez right? GREAT skit

whitezenki · 09-19-2007, 10:48 PM

5' 5", 135 lbs, max out at 195

Benching is for HS ego competitions though, theres so much other stuff equally or more important, chest is my weakest muscle group.
