Thought I'd start a fun topic and see what everyone's max bench press is? I know a lot of folks don't do a 1 rep max, but I recently did mine because I'm entering a bench press comp for breast cancer this month.

Started a 3 week program that I finished on Sunday where I bench 4 times a week. My max was 335 when I started. Hopefully it has gone up a few pounds. I retest either tomorrow or Friday depending how my body feels the. Restart the program with my new max on Tuesday.

Weight: 217 1RM: 335

285 for 4. Never done a 1RM because of my bullshit shoulder... or at least not recent enough that it'd be relevant.
 
Bodweight 210ish.
Max 425
315x13
225x37

I train for strength. Those numbers are with no hands on the bar. I have plenty of videos, however my face is in all of them

So instead of just putting 315 on the bar (3 plates on each side), you go with (2) 45 and then (1) 25 plate, (1) 10 plate, (1) 5 plate , and (1) 2.5 plate?? Interesting bro.
 
These types of threads are useless without videos to back it up.
 
If somebody points me in the direction of a video app I can cover my face with, I'm happy to post a video

lol, no that was a straight lie. I like I how you tore that apart, very nice. Honestly, I've never done more then 2 wheels on each side. No partner. All my friends are faggots. And I don't bother people when they work out. I do 3 sets of 15. Thats on all benches.
 
485lbs. About 8 months old. It was sent to a phone from a phone, to an email and then uploaded, then downloaded then uploaded to youtube so it looks like complete ass.
I was 210lbs here.

At 48 yrs of age, shoulders that want to give way at any time, don't even care any more. I'm more for looks than pr's.
 
Yeah here's mine. Not much but it's something. Sent to a friends sisters uncle then downloaded on a pc then transferred to a apple cpu then uploaded to YouTube then recorded by a Samsung and reformatted to an iPhone so I kind of look like Eddie hall. But here it is http://youtu.be/vrxgam1ILVA

I absolutely hate the feeling of pumps. Never understood how making yourself unable to touch your face or scratch your ass was enjoyable.

Still better than Olympic lifts. Fuck those things. Makes my heart want to explode.

I've made plenty of gains without chasing any pumps lol. Of course I'm done trying to grow for a long time, if ever again.

Great lift btw. For me, tendonitis, arthritis in shoulders, arthritis in elbows, screwed up knees, surgery for full rotator cuff tear (that was fun), and two partial pec tears was enough to make me change my lifting style. No barbell presses, strictly dumbbells and HS machines, reps in the 8 to 20 range, short rest intervals..... never looked better, and pain free for the last two years. I could care less what my max is. That wasn't the case 10 years ago! Lol.

True...and lets face it, ppl can't tell how strong you are by your appearance. In fact if you look tight, they will think you are stronger then a guy who is heavy set but strong as shit.

Having said that, I can't help myself in the gym with heavy lifts. Not that I am trying to out perform other gym members, it is just this side of me that wants to lift as heavy as possible and be strong. Know what I mean?

I try to keep rep ranges between 6 to 10 reps, even when going heavy. Once in awhile going for a 1 rep max (which sets me back like two weeks in recovery).

My personal best has been 405 at around 230# (was on tren e at the time).

Your face ace is pretty much in your avi.. What's the difference. Plus you're not on there trying to sell steroids with a needle stuck in your leg.. You're benching weights.

Unfortunate injuries always do seem to be the changing point for most people. Not sure what I'm going to do when all this catches up to me. Probably gloat in a corner for a few years.
