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.

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 :)

I got 18 again yesterday

I haven't done this many for a couple of years and beginning of Jan I was down to a poor 7!  Aiming to beat my PB by May.

PB of 13. Aiming for 15 in the next couple of weeks.

at our gym we started doing a 60kg bb bpress challenge some time b4 i was aware of the 100kg challenge going on on here,

i was in 2nd place with 55reps and the guy in first place had 63reps but last night im proud to say i beat his total to take the top spot with 66reps,

when i was on about the 40th rep i stopped for a second and said to my training partner im not gonna do it today the thought of another 24 reps just sempt too much, 

but then i took a few deep breaths and thought to myself all i had to do was 1 rep at a time then when id done that rep just do another and then another and so on,  the reps didnt get any harder untill i got to the 60ish mark but by that time i was flying and determined to beat the record no matter wot,

im sure doing the 100kg challenge on here for a few weeks helped me to get top spot at my gym on the 60kg challenge, cheers boys ;)

BEST LIFTS 2010 

bench press 195kg,  barbell push press 137.5 kg

should we have weight classes??

Just strap one on and lift it.

I've put bodyweight in as a column, but I don't have figures for most guys.  Ideally bodyweight should be on it, otherwise the guys who weigh 70 kg will feel rather weak without realising that they're competing against guys who weigh 140 kg!  Up to Hazel though, if she wants to insist on it then it'll get done, nothing that I can do on this really.

The list is now up to date on page 11

Edit (as it's the last post anyway) I got to 22 today.  Used a slightly wider grip, a good nights sleep and plenty of grub!

If you want bodyweight added I will do that, start adding bodyweight to new totals given and | will include them on the table.

Just caught up with this. Been off MT for a while. Might give it a go on Sat if I remember my camera. Got a 192.5 last Sunday, so should be good for at least a dozen, I reckon.  Do you get bonus points for being old and light?

Winners are just dreamers who didn't quit

Same here...just got back around 2 a month, and saw my name on the list from Oct 2003!!  I managed 5 reps then!

Oh well...lots of work to do to get one, I am still just about managing 60-80kg on bench.

Gotat get back to the good ol days eh!

Ironheads Journal

My bodyweight was 135ishkg back then, I am a wee bit heavier now lol

Well wasn't going to try this as benching for me is fairly poor now due to bad shoulders and elbows, but fresh I got 21 not too bad I suppose, but could have done this when I was 16-17 lol. Will see if I can get to 30 over the next few months. Popped out to the garage today and had another little go 24 felt light but trained triceps yesterday and they just gave up the ghost.

Nice records here, I will add mine:
21x100kg (220lbs) @ 105kg BW. I have done it last year.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwBHDmxc128

Really interested in this managed 43 In a close grip style at 130Kg Not sure whether this counts?
 
Scratch that - the concensus of opinion is that the reps -29-32 didnt count, glad they told me at the time
so 39 overall.
