MT 220lb bench press competition!

My PB is rising - currently at 21 - Ill make 30 by the end of the year!!! LOL

I did 33 reps at 225 pounds. Not bad for a guy who is turning 40 years old on August 7th (tomorrow). I think I will try and see how many I can do on incline press next time I do chest. I know it should be pretty high, becasue its my favorite lift....it should in the high 20's. I will let you know.

Good lift BruBakes - impressive - Im working on 25 now!

i can do it once

I have just done 42, big al witnessed. Could probably do more but we had a full training sess ahead of us!

Yes and it looked relatively easy too, there is definately 50+ in there!

I on the other hand did a measly 10 or so, but it was comfortable, the first bit of benching i have done in ages but it was fun, i may try again soon, maybe i'll get 15-20.

yep... that about sums up that effort from Hypershriek.... damn, well done for a warmup

I just did bench for the first time in a while...I managed a nice 13reps@220lbs @ 154lbs bodyweight...

17 reps.not a big fan of the bench press myself, prefer dumbells.
my best pound for pound was many years ago.incline bench with 110lbs bumbells,,i weighed 180lbs at the time and got 14 reps..many years back got 10 reps with 100lb dumbells on the same at 154lbs..was happy with that back then.regards, rich

I finally got 4 a few weeks ago, I have dropped bench from my workout completely now!

I will give it a go in approx 3 weeks, After my 1rm schedule. I anticipate a 35 plus ceiling. STANDBY!!!!!!

BBIGMAN, 50? Thats F*****g aerobics!!!!!!

Later.

NATMAS

is there weight devisions in this competition??

I can get 4 out lol, but i'm starting a cycle next week so may get it up to 10 [:p] still not good enough, i'll come back in a couple of years!![^]

I have yet to try but a couple of months ago I pushed out 110K for 13 reps on incline!

There are some great lifts there, I would be interested to see how much some of you guys can do with 60kgs? On 225 I believe Ronnie Coleman did 75 or so at the arnold classic a few years back!

ATM - I'd get between 20-30 at 220. Max is currently 495. On 60kgs I've done 56.

OMG, you guys are animals!!!
I can just about do 1 on 225....

Woot! First time I've tried this... I got 4! lol. ...but it was on my 4th set... 12@135, 8@175, 8@185, 4@225, and 12@135. I had to have a little help... but it was a long workout.

First time and I got 5. I am doing chest on Monday and will post afterwards. I reckon I can get to double figures before christmas.

I take it this is benching with free weights and not on one of those bench machines.
I can do 5 at 100kg free weight and 10 on a machine, whimp aint I. oh Im 210lb as well, so that makes me a fat wimp, LOL.

I did 225lbs 27 times before I would have sacrificed form; so I stopped there. My stats are below.

*edit* can only moderators have custom avatars? am just curious, because I have a few images I'd like to use if at all possible. If not, no worries. *edit*

I did eight and will crack twelve by crimbo with luck. Tried it on the decline bench thinking I'd do less but it was just the same. Which angle is normally strongest, incline, decline or flat?

decline should be your strongest bringing the delts into play more..

i havent checked this thread for a while,jesus there some strong poeple here,i reckon anybody doing over 25 has got seroius strentgh .

435 is a good lift for a 203lb guy. Was this raw?

Well guys haven't done too much lifting lately as I've been pretty much focused on training for boxing the last few months...weight has dropped from 189lbs to my current weight of 165lbs, I've lost muscle as well as fat as I wasn't training at all. Gave the 100kg bench a go today as I've been lifting again the last few weeks to try and gain power and I managed 2 reps lol. It will improve!

Well I got 5 last week - but it was no where near my maximum.

I got out 4 =[ Gotta start somewhere! By june I'll do 20 =]

I know this is for 225 lbs...but...now IM trying to see how many reps I can do for 315 lbs. I did 315 for 17 reps...I could have done another 1-3 reps, but I had no spotter. Shooting for 315 x 23 reps come the end of the year.
I have not tried the repping out 225 lbs in a couple months now, I know it has increased.

I feel pathetic...1 [V][V][V]

225 bench is very good for someone who just turned 17. believe me, your bench will go up alot the next couple of years! When I was your age(23 years ago), we did not have this mega info you have today with the internet. I worked out 6 days a week for years, because thats what Arnold did, and most of the champs. Things have changed. You should grow quicker than I did when i was your age.`

Woohoo!!! I got 5 so that makes me as stong as DMPM!! yeah baby yeah...

ok, not that strong really but still got 5!!

Grrr... OK, I'm going to max out tomorrow. God damn our egos! [:o)]

hehehe, I nearly got six on my last chest day....woohoo!!!

OK, I got 8 yesterday on my last set with 102.5 kg. I was after 2x5, so I was a little tired.

Reckon I'm good for 12 easy. I'll try it (with a spotter) in a few weeks.

I can do 7 now! W00T!

haha I can do 2 reps!!

I tried 100kg for the first time today and did 5 reps (spotter helped a bit the last 2). I normally train alone and use the dumbells, but I thought I would give the bench a try today as I had some help.

Still not a lot compared to others but I was pleased with it

11 when ill
