    Reasonble weight to bench for my body weight?

    I'm 105kg (16.5 stone 231 lb).

    I go to more of a fitness gym (nothing else in my area) so I don't get any feedback from anyone. I'm just wandering if my bench press is decent for someone my weight. I train on my own so I have to lift the bar off myself and I can't really push myself because I don't have a spot.

    Normally pyramid up to 160kg (352.7 lb) for 2 reps.

    1st 12 x 140kg
    2nd 7 x 150kg
    3rd 2 x 160kg
    4th 10 x 140kg

    Is 160kg for 2 reps a decent weight to press?

    That's a fairly strong bench you've got.
    "Shut up and lift!"
    "Eat big to get big."
    "Deadlift and grow."
    "Knowledge is power."
    "What does not kill you, will make you stronger."

    Ergo sum fortissimus.

    Sounds very respectable to be honest.

    In fact I am often surprised how strong people here are. I weigh 200 pounds and I can just about do 40kg dumbbell presses for 5 reps. I would guess my bench would be around 90-100kg (220 pounds) at the very most.
    Donkeyno9: Don't think you're the only one here who suffers from addiction, depression and failure. Winner is an attitude not a body type. Use your inner demons to gain an iron fist on the forces in life that hold you down. Step into the furnace of reality and walk out a hard ass mother fu....
