How much can you BENCH?!

[SuperGroove]

sweet_robin,

That's excellent! However...I'm gonna have to shoot you down and say, I'm friends with a gal who can bench 200lbs.


As for me...I've never done any bench presses before. Roughly how many lbs do you think I could bench if I can do 80 pushups? I'm 6'0ft, 180lbs.

 

[Excaliber2013]

Way back in the day('98) I could bench about 315(school weights). Dunno about now.....never tried to max. Besides I only have 165lbs worth of weights in my house( I do 5-6 sets, 10 reps though).

 

[charrison]

A long time ago, about 1990

I weighed 185 and could bench 275 and squat 475.


This would probably crush me at this point.

 

[breakit23]

heh im 6-4 weigh 155 bench about 120 trying to pack on some pounds.

Any of you guys supplement with protein powders? which?

 

[FrogDog]

I'm just a youngin' and have only been working out for 6 months so I can only do about 120 lbs. Ask again in a year though.

5'10", 140 lbs.

12 oz. can of Bud x24.

 

[HappyFace]

6 foot and a 170 pounds. I can probably only do around 200-225 because I'm skinny, and don't work out much! :frown:

 

[JokerF15]

[dcdomain]

I'm past my prime

My max was 300lbs. back in high school @ 150lbs. 5'5".

Sophomore in college now, I can barely do 235lbs @ 170lbs. 5'5".

 

[shiznut123]

110 pounds and im only 13.

 

[jsm]

When I was really into weight lifting, I could bench about 330 or so. I was 6'1" and about 220 pounds. Now, I probably bench about 180 if I'm lucky.

I blame it all on women and computers. They are both like addictive drugs that take up all of my time. Curses to you both!

 

[madmacks]

dcdomain... past your prime?! haha, youre only a sophomore in college. your body doesnt fail you until your 4th year. yetch, didnt even have time to eat at that point.

 

[Caliber]

5'11, 140lb's
and i can bench... 60 pounds!
Im only 16 and have just started serious weight lifting, before i was a couch potato

 

[gittyup]

about 12 ounces

 

[DonaldDuck82]

i could bench about 350 but got shoulder problems in the middle of my junior year of high school and had to stop, i am about 6'3" 230 lbs, i always thought that powercleans were better, does anyone do those, i maxed out at 320,

 

[duragezic]

I weight like 115lbs (lol yes I'm small) but I did 130lbs in school yesteday. Damn am I sore from doing just that!

I'm pretty impressed for doing over my weight in spite of not doing any type of physical activity besides snowboarding in witner and skating in the summer which really has nothing to do with strength.

 

[Celstar]

I got toothpick arms. I can bench press the bar with 10 lbs on each end. how much is that?

 

[Stallion]

The bar is 45 so that means 65lbs total.

I could do 325 once and do sets of 2-3 with 295 about 3 years ago. I got a full set of weights in the garage and want to get back at it someday. I'm 6 foot about 200lbs.

 

[Mday]

well, that 80lbs was years ago.

i am sure i can do more now =)

like 81 lbs =)

 

[Zipperhead]

any chick that weighs under 130

 

[Engine]

I got 300 earlier this week. I had gotten 325 this past summer, but I have a sneaking suspicion that something was funny with the weights where I was working out then. I don't think I _really_ did 325. Then again, I could have just been having a really good day.

 

[ecrespol]

4 X 225 (5'9" 170lbs)

 

[MrAnderson]

Benching is for muscleheads, just a bunch of geeks around here!

[mazdarx7]

College years, @ 5'10" and 158 lbs, maxed 315 lbs one time, wasn't strict, as my rear came off the bench, but locked it out just the same. Many, many, many, many years later, just don't have any interest to see what I'm capable of doing anymore, got caught up in golf.
