Lmao only 1 serious anwser out of the whole bunch. Pics please or some footage. Im just not going to say what I voted or can lift this isnt fair. Most of the #'s I considered in kg's
You are supposed to bench your own weight. So you should be able to bench 115.
Dammit, I forgot to ask her how much she weighed...
Liar.

Been there done that....sucks a$$! I had surgery 3 years ago...I still have issues.
.
most I ever did was 150 or so.
Never was a good bencher.
Better questions would be how much can you deadlift? I hit 315 on a regular basis, never maxed it. 335 on squat.
Even better, how many pull ups can you do? Again never maxed but was consistent 12-15 for 3 sets. Even used to wear a belt and hang 10 or 15 off of it. Worked out with one guy who hung a plate on the belt....he could also bench 450 plus, 315 was his warm up.

I don't believe any of you. We need pictures of bench pressing proof!
We need pictures of bench pressing proof!225 back in highschool. more like 185 at the most now. Shoulders won't take it. I can't even do flies without rendering my shoulders useless for days.
I don't believe any of you.
who takes pics in the gym. That's so gay gravy wouldn't even do it!
I was only kidding. Really wouldn't want to see something that gay...
And are you really sure gravy doesn't take his camera to the gym???
I don't believe that for one second.

i was a gym rat for many years....been out the game for 7yrs
i was more of a endurance type guy, always did cardio after weights, brench was my least favorite, every session began with single plates and built up to two plates and a 25 on each side.....never took time to see my max
fun fact: i have had no back problems in 3 yrs......and always had back issues when i lifted

used to do 225 and now after shoulder surgery just do 1 set of 50 reps at 70 lbs. on a seated machine that simulates the bench press. I go with a shortened range of motion.
got into the high reps with my PT and have stuck with it since the surgery 3 years ago. At 49 i love the low weight/hi rep workout.
Do sets of 50 for ALL excercises now and it really wipes me out.

I can bench 15 pounds more than the next guy.
NFL routine - put 135lbs on and rip it as many times as you can before you go heavy, usually 40-50. Hurt myself in the summer before using this. Never had a problem since I started doing that. Also rotator cuff exercises and warm ups along with not going down below parallel. Most injuries from bench can be avoided doing this.
Dogmeat, thats big time! I like your goal
