Heavy dumbbell bench versus Bench press strength
Hey guys,
Wanted some opinions. I'm not super strong (my max bench is 215 for 2 reps). I currently own DB's up tp 55 pounds.
I don't have any place (Craigs List, Store, not a member of a gym) where I can TEST my DB bench strength.
I'm looking to buy heavier DB's, but with shipping, it's expensive and I want to make sure I don't buy DB's I can't handle.
My question: Based off how much I can bench, would you say I could handle 80 or 90 pound DB's? I can do about 13 reps using the 55 DB's. Want to go heavier and think I can handle 70's, but not sure about 80's or 90's.
PS: I realize for some of you beasts that 70's - 90's is not considered "heavy" :-)
Any recommendation would be great, thanks friends!
Ryan
