How much can you bench press!!

**Biggie V** · 08-28-2003, 12:18 AM

OK!!!!!! These threads have gotten to stop i am seeing like 2 or 3 of these every week coming in different forms!! Mods you should do somehting about this make some kind of sticky that says "Stupid questions not to ask" and "how much can you bench press" should be #1 Does it matter how much you can bench press? seriously...would you want to look like dexter jackson and max out at only 500lb or look like someone like warren sapp and bench a max of 600 (sapp is a football player for the tampa bay bucks one of the biggest guys in the NFL) You can be lifting weights twice as low as another guy yet still have a body that looks twice as good. Since i noticed that most of the people here are going for the bulky yet slim look. So for all people new to this forum dont ask the most hated question here!

230!

lol j/k I actually clicked to flame you...

**littlebuffman** · 08-28-2003, 01:32 AM

they should just have an entire "How much can you bench" forum then we wont have to deal with it, they can be in their own little ego forum boasting about their 4 thousand pound bench, their 2000 lb squat and deadlift? whats that?

**littlebuffman** · 08-28-2003, 01:34 AM

can someone else please post! i dont like my name commin up as the last post for this topic

**FroZ** · 08-28-2003, 01:39 AM

The sad thing is though....Even if there was a "How much can you bench" section, there would still be people posting it here...I don't know what goes on in people's heads...I really don't

**AUSSIE PRIDE** · 08-28-2003, 01:41 AM

just when i thought these kind of threads were over....

**Uber-neggR** · 08-28-2003, 04:31 AM

how about just making this a stickey as the official 'how much can you bench' threads. and anyone how creates thier own should get a warning from the mods cuz thier already is an official thread.
and trolls could just use these types of threads to annoy people without getting bannned.

**Rufus88** · 08-28-2003, 04:59 AM

id agree these threads are pointless wastes of space..but just dont read them...and anyways im stronger then warren sapp i bench 2000lbs

Someone doesn't get it....

I think we should have a how much can you lift forum, so we can weed out all those types of people.

**dude544** · 08-28-2003, 06:39 AM

I bench the olympic bar and a couple of 2.5lb plates for 4 reps.

**Gr8Ape** · 08-28-2003, 07:57 AM

**Gr8Ape** · 08-28-2003, 07:59 AM

If violence didnt solve anything there would be no wars..............

**HyperionGauss** · 08-28-2003, 08:18 AM

Why sticky a thread where it's just some stupid, immature teens putting up fake, ego-boosting benches? I say we should get the admins to auto-close any thread containing "how much do you bench". That would be the end of it.

That might sound easy but for the mods its not they have to surf the forum for hours a day trying to fish it all out...i think the best thing would be for another sticky.

And as for u Gr8Ape dont discribe it if you have a problem then pm me dont waste the space. BTW i dont mean it litterally its one of those lines i got from somewhere that stuck like "if drinking and driving was illigal why are there parking lots in bars" something like that just something that gets you thinking.

A truck? Mwahaha. MY cousin's roomates uncle's brother's nephew's niece's aunt's father says that he can bench a 3 story building. So it must be real.

Haha..."only 500" like thats some weight we all should be using.

yawn* 99999.999999999

**VENGEANCE_X** · 08-28-2003, 03:40 PM

I dont see a problem with asking this question. It really doesn't matter, but if somebody wants to brag or make up some fake stats than who cares! Just ignore it.

**MJSbossman** · 08-28-2003, 04:06 PM

Post a video or don't post your max.

There used to be a thread like that way back, and it was stickied, but then it was removed.

**zackmm** · 08-28-2003, 06:43 PM

225 and i weigh 123

**bruno** · 08-28-2003, 08:41 PM

sig

**klepto** · 08-28-2003, 08:47 PM

I bench the olympic bar for 3 reps but if im feelin crazy ill slap on some 2 1/2's. I always lift with a spotter because that much weight could really get outta control.

**Biggie V** · 08-28-2003, 10:04 PM

i think some people dont get the point Noone cares what your bench is!!! All newbies are curious and ask but if you have been surfing this forum for a few months then it gets annoying!!
i think MJSbossman is correct...post a video or nothing. Or make the "questions not to ask" sticky oh or a teen forum FaQ sticky that should be of use to many people new to this site.

**Serpent Boy** · 08-28-2003, 10:52 PM

I don't really care the max a person can press. Its all good. I'm just wondering what is considered not enough pounds to start off using for a complete newbie? I've only been doing bench presses for two weeks and was curious if I'm using enough weight. I haven't tried more yet cause I don't want to injury myself.
