**N Dogg** · 02-21-2002, 02:15 AM

id say see wut u can do and set a goal from there it doesnt matter what other people bench

**DYnomyte001** · 02-21-2002, 03:03 AM

My personal goal is to be able to bench 500 pounds natural.

**NickM234** · 02-21-2002, 05:35 AM

My goal is to bench 600. Most likely I won't be natural once I get old enough.

how old are you? how much do you weigh? how tall are you? what does your diet look like? how long have you been bench pressing? once we get that info then well tell you how much you should be able to do

Now bubbaT I believe you said on the pictures board that you would blow us all away with your pics. Unfortunately when you ask a juvenille question like this it leads me to believe otherwise. And the answer to your question is more than you are doing. That should always be the answer to any kind of question regarding "how much weight should I be lifting." MORE, that goes for anyone!

are you a powerlifter? if not then who cares bro? i can only bench 230 but i still have a built chest and i'm not exactly small either 6'2" 240 12% bodyfat.....form is everything and go slow...feel your muscle working and your chest will show the work you put into it....to many people get caught up on how much they can lift...ironically they are also the people that dont look as good and the ones who dont have an ego...just my advise take it if you want

If you're a BB like someone said who the hell cares it not called BB-as in bench building its called bodybuilding and thats the only thing you should be doing really if you focus on your bench it will take away your concentraition from BB.

**joehagyHH** · 02-26-2002, 08:46 AM

like someone said... the bench is ovverated

**ILLINOISE** · 02-26-2002, 09:29 AM

u could be 235 lbs 8 % body fat and bench press 200 lbs and as long as you had a solid built chest, it wouldnt matter how much u bench pres, this is called bodybuilding, weights dont matter, its the muscles that matter, if u want to know about bench pressing go to the powerlifting forum

perfect answer.....the answer to any question of "how much should i be doing?" will always be....more than you are. there should NEVER be a set weight because you should always have a higher goal.

**Cusesharpe** · 02-26-2002, 01:43 PM

Who cares what you bench, this is bodybuilding. Your goal should be to look like you could bench 600. I bench 150 yet I dont give a @$#%

**Dex** · 02-26-2002, 02:20 PM

I don't have a big bench at all for some reason. It goes up gradually with my weight, but I'm definitely not strong for my weight. Right now, I'm 160 and that's how much I bench. I think it has alot to do with genetics. I see kids so much skinnier than I, benching 70 lbs. more. I get bigger, but not alot of strength gains.
80% of the time that's the first thing a guy would come up and ask you. I agree, it is overrated
