How much can YOU bench press?

SomeGuy · 07-27-2002, 09:49 PM

How much wieght can you bench press?For those who do not know what the heck I'm talking about I am talking about the big metal bar that you put those big,heavy,circuler wieghts on and then lay back on a bench while the bar is being held up with to things and you take it off of the two things and you bring it to your chest and push it up and back to your chest.
I can bench press 100 ten times.

Haven't been bench-pressing for a while now (been concentrating mainly on cardio/abs/chin-up). Must start again soon!

335 is my record right now. Been a while, since I've been in the gym though.

Hey Someguy thats pretty good for a guy your age! I guess I better be nice to you or you'll beat the crap out of me in a few years [img]tongue.gif[/img] As for how much I can bench press I have no idea. I can pick up some very heavy objects at work, but hey thats a whole different thing. On my current job I'm working with a powerlifter who can bench 400-500. I'm not sure how much he can lift but its a LOT! But on the job he sucks lol. You would think its killing him pushing up plywood! So weight lifting is good, but you have to actually be able to apply the muscle.

Dang good job. Out of all of the sophmores at my shcool I am now the strongest. I used to be the 4th. I don't even take fitness class either. I mainly do curls I can do 20 reps of of 40. These are singal curl bars.

Hmmm, testosterone levels are far too high right now for me to be able to answer this question.
