Hey everyone this is my first time on this forum but I see my elder brother using it so i decided to post something. Now I dont want you to lie because its just for comparison and not for ego's. Via a proper form Bench where the bar touches your chest and remains there for several seconds and is pushed to lockout with no assisitance.
I just had hernia surgery and always trained for running so am not big. I only weigh 135 lbs! Anyway, i just benched 185 lbs twice and had to stop due to elbow pain from rugby. Is this any good as I am tall and feel if i bulk up i cucd push sum serious poundages.

understood man but all imlooking for is a comparison as i train at home and no one i my school would no how much they bench. Im not looking for any compliments but rather whether this is low or high as u see threads where teens are benching huge amounts and just wondered what most guys bench.
If you dont benmch enough that u dont want to post then go to the ladies fitness forum. i dont care how much you best-u shud only compete against your self sop please post 1 rep max.Train, eat, supplement, rest and then use forums.

yer but the problem is there are many teens which pray on threads like these so SOME of them can boast their fake maxes... goodluck at finiding a comparision maybe this sort of thread would be more suited to the power lifting ans strongman forum.Originally posted by mr.olympia

Nothing special- 2 reps 80 kg X 5 normally.
1 rep max- 100 kg."... like a spring storm in an eastern wind, retiring only to return with more fury."

i bench small cars :P
im certain there have been threads like this before... just search for them and youre bound to find heaps - but be careful about if people are lying
by the way why leave the bar on your chest for several seconds? just slow it to a stop and push out the next rep

i weigh 185 and bench 240lbs (max)
I just recently starting concentrating on my bench and its going up pretty fast. (I think thats «verage for someone my heigh and size.)Stats:
Height: 5"10
Weight: 187lbs
Bicep - 15.4inches
Chest - 49 inch
Bench - 1rM = 245lbs
Squat - 1rM = 315lbs
Deadlift - 1rM = 315lbs (goal was 3 plates and got there)
total = 815 (goal for next christmas is 1100)
No pain, no gain

The most I have ever bench pressed was 9,000/6-800/2x8+4000x6/900x6/7+400/2x6/7+2x2-80 LBS
If I did the math right that's the most I've ever lifted for 1 rep.
