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

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

lol my ass was off on like **** load of reps, ill have to redo it sometime

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
http://www.muscletalk.co.uk/fb.ashx?m=4154

(I see I did 21 back in 2003 - today I mananged a pathetic 13!)

8 reps.   
 
No proof other than my gym buddy.  Not worth a youttube though.

only 2reps but witnessed by stryker!!!!!!!!!!! pretty poor really

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.

last night on 26th of feb 2009 my first ever attempt i did 22strict form reps, witnessed by my gym buddy mr smith, i told him all about it and told him my aim was to beat moderator james and sorry buddy i did u by 1 ;)

LOL - at the moment you're beating me by 9 coz I can't do what I used to!

I've recently managed 6 om this, would like 10 before the year is out!

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

Table updated.

Nice to see I am still top of the heap!
Tim

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.

NICE BENCHING! MOUSER
next time can you put the camara in front so we can see the set up and technique.
 
ps love the new table

well done mouser

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 :)
