Aodhan Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Whats your 1 rep max in Bench Pesssing? Mines only a meare 80lbs. [/b]1 rep max? Been so long since I've done a 1 rep max, I don't know. I use the 3 rep max which is a better indicator of strength, and last time I did it was somewhere in the 255-265 lb. range. That was when I was in a bulk training phase, I'm sure it's somewhat less than that now.Aodhan There are some people who live in a dream world, and there are some who face reality; and then there are those who turn one into the other.-Douglas Everett, American hockey player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUCKEYE Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 315lbs for 6 reps before requirng spotter's assistance, so I would say mid to high 300's. Of course this was two months ago before tearing my left posterior tendon that is attached to my bicep...OUCH!!!!My last physical thepapy session was this past Friday, so I am looking at building back up on both heavy pull and push exercises.

DokterVet Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Not sure, probably around 300. I've done 250 x 7 and 255 x 6. 22 years oldShootwrestlingFormerly Wado-Kai Karate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sohan Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Now, typically around 340-350. Depends on my bodyweight, which goes around 185-190 on average. I usually shoot for a top set of around 300-305 for 5 when training. The most I ever did for 5 reps was 365 in 1986 when I was 19. I was working out at a gym owned by pro wrestler Marcus Bagwell's big brother--Mark used to train alongside us at the age of 16.Benched 405 in competition with a pause at bodyweight of 198 at age 19 for an ADFPA record. My gym bench was 425, but without a pause. No drugs, never needed them. I do wish I had had creatine and a bench shirt, though. It would have added 40-45 lbs easy.Really, though, bench press max isn't so important as you might think. A lot of guys who can bench a bunch have little power in their punches. I now bench almost 20% less than I did 20 years ago, but I punch a lot harder.Respectfully,Sohan "If I cannot become one of extraordinary accomplishment, I will not walk the earth."

AodhanOne of the hardest punches I ever took was by a guy who couldn't have weighted 150 soaking wet. Felt like a sledgehammer. His buddy, who was about 250-270, punched like an infant.Respectfully,Sohan "If I cannot become one of extraordinary accomplishment, I will not walk the earth."
