If a spotter spotted than a rep should not count! No forced reps!

Nicely done though Mouser. Just need to add rankings ;)!

That's what I did... otherwise I'm sure I could clock up 100+

Thanks, any ideas for this? I've done the top 30 for now, any more and updating it would be a nightmare.

I've removed duplicates too, so only the best result is shown (works nicely for James!)

Tom, you may have been making sweet love to the bar , but people can see that from the video

Thanks for this Mouser - I have updated the first post

Following on from muscle eggs post on how many reps people can do with 220lbs (100kg) on the bench press, I thought it a great idea to turn this into another MT competition.
See:
http://www.muscletalk.co.uk/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=47312
I saw a few of you had tried it and so I challanged a few of my friends at home. Currently I have got 18 reps, but I told my friend (who is training for strongman and is basically a power house) and I thought he'd get about 30 - he got a massive 41 !!!!!!!

So over the next few weeks, on chest days, why dont some of you give it a go and post your reps here?

I am aiming for 21

What a great idea for the forum.

That's some good repping James!

James owes me for best 4-year-old thread resurrection ever.

My log
DL: 235kg     SQ: 190kg      BP: 127.5kg

Did 17 just now, feel like I've got more in the tank if I sort out flexibility.

Table updated.

My Journal

Nice to see I am still top of the heap!

Did 11 yesterday, this was after 4 sets of flat bench to failure

I got to 18 reps today, video added to table.  Training with Eddie who got two reps (video also above).  Table is now up to date again.

My Journal

NICE BENCHING! MOUSER

ps love the new table

well done mouser

A muscle that's weak in isolation will be weak in integration.

on my 2nd go last night 5th march 2009, i did 24reps allthough my training partner stupidly took a bit of the weight on the last bit of the last rep, as far as i could see it was still on its way up, also i had a guy recording it on my mates mobile phone but ive not got a clue what he did because the recording was nowhere to be seen oh well , ill have another go nxt wk :)
