I'm going to get Mick King to have a pop at this, after sundays efforts of 180 x 10 I think he could spank 100 for a fair few, I have seen him do 25 with 140.
 
Be interesting to see - especially as he is a 59 year old bloke putting all these young posers to shame.

51kg body weight 100kg 8 reps I can do :D

managed 47 at the hercules show at lakeside 08 with james counting if he remembers,but i think the added strongbow fuel helped there lol....

My log

tried 100 kg for the 1st time did 3 full reps 

Does 100kg mean x4 20kg plates on an olympic bar or 50kg a side?

Arniemonkey everyone is different, some people have huge single lifts and don't far so well with higher reps at lighter weights.  A good friend Gary Neighbour (raw 250kg bench) could do 23 reps with 180kg lol. Gary wasn't fat either.

Screamed out 6, not bad for a 1 year old!

Mischief.....12 Reps......01/04/2010........BW 65kg........       Reckon I could get to 20 reps given 6 weeks

    We'll get that added , what name does he post on MT under ? 

  "Been on HMB three weeks , Feels like Deca" - Bill Phillips  (Man who sold HMB)

 Also what about yourself ?   I am guessing yours must be pretty impressive if you are saying everyone on here should be ashamed of themselves

well the posts that say exactly what i said really! i presumed those 1 rep max benchers were powerlifters and then only doing 10 reps with 2 plates seem lack of fitness thats all

Bump me upto 11reps please @ 97kg BW

Would this still count on a smiths machine , its all my gym has ???

We had this exact competition at my gym about two months ago.

I came in 3rd with 22 reps (raw and clean/natural/whatever the heck its called), which I am particularly proud of since I had not trained with anything past 8 reps for years.

Does 110kg for 17 count? Haven't done 100kg flat out for about a year but will post back next week when I do!

Oh forgot to say I'm natural, just me the bench and the stacked barbell.  I'm currently weighing in at 94kg

I got 20 reps tonight....
 
BW 106kg

Age 46: 
Bench PB: 160kg (16-11-2011)
BW: 100kg

Had a go last night on a new routine and managed 11 reps but it was 105kg not 100. Not bad i don't think
 
My body weight is 96-98kg

Very pleased, especially since dieting to get a bit leaner, got 22 reps last night at a new bodyweight of 101.8kg (previously 106kg).

Age 46: 
Bench PB: 160kg (16-11-2011)
BW: 100kg

41 reps with 100kg's... awesome stuff!!!
My best when I last had a spotter (3-4 months ago) was 6 reps! :D
I'll hopefully put up double figures when I next try though... and hopefully, when I next try, I'll be heavier than the weight too! ;)

"I'm not posing, I'm checking to see if everything's still there..." ;)

I think they should add a 140kg for reps lol

To be successful its not the few hours you do in the gym. Its the hours out of the gym where the differences are made.
BENCH BARBIE BABY!

im not saying some of these guys arent strong just it doesnt seem to add up to me thats all

I'm not sure what you mean??

BW: 100kg

i think it was ages ago when i said i dont understand how a guy can do 5 reps with 5 or 6 plates then only manages 15 or 20 with 2 ...or something like that it was a while back when i upset some people with that..i suggested that they must be way out of shape

thats a big NO IT DOESNT i can do 30 with it and my 1 rep max is 190kg

differing muscle endurance I guess. I can do 22 reps but my 1 rep max is only 155. My mates 1RM is 185 and he can only just beat my 22 reps. He is lean and fit aerobically too, more so than me.

have a read of tom platz versus fred hatfield squat challenge. For some one with a good 1rm versus some one who can do 20 rep squats with a massive weight.

16  spotter on the last rep will nail the 20 when ive finished me cut current weight 96k ..it reminds me off back in the day of trying to do 50reps with 50k the 50/50 it was called then it went to the 60/60 got there by doing press ups after chest workouts ****me that was a long time ago haha lol

3 reps 102kg - bodyweight 75kg

100kg - 8 reps - 73kg

 Body Weight - 75kg
Bench - 140kg
Squat - 180kg
Deadlift - 180kg

Age - 21

i usually do one heavy set one high rep set, yesterday i got 100kg for 10 , but that was after 120kg for 3 , i will try again next time and post a vid, i think ill get it for 15 in the next 2 sessions. i will do 122.5 before hand though

Does the weight include 20kg for the bar. If so 13 is my best.
