Bench 315? What do you rep?

[scarboro]

I was at 18x225 and 8+x275 TnG and could barely do 325 paused. WTF man!! Seems like a lot of you guys are much stronger then your "reps" would indicate. I'm jealous

feelsbadman to be in the slow twitch club :<

[andregrenier]

I have pressed 225 for 14 reps, but still only max at 295.

[drudixon]

My goal is to bench 315, what would I be reping in order to get 315?

The 5x5 spreadsheet I use says 280x5 to get 315. I can't bench 315 so I don't know how accurate it is.

That's pretty accurate. I've pressed 225 for 12 reps and I can get 285 twice.......sounds like we're pretty close........

[B.Money]

about 225x13 touch and go put me at 315 paused

[mhswres1]

idk know about these numbers on a normal bench workout day i end at 335 for 8-10 and i can throw up 455 roughly. i think its all about the way you train your muscles

[Blue Blazer]

well I can only do like 225 for 5 on a good day...best single was 285

[blindsideflank]

i can hit 245 for 8, maybe ten if i really push it, and i just hit 335 for an easy 3. all paused and with the same form. Ive always been like that dunno why.

[bjshreffler]

yo i bench 315 for more reps than anyone here i garanty

[LILFATBOI]

just because you are good at reps relative to max doesn't necessarily mean ur so slow twitch. If you think about if you do 18 reps pretty damn quick then fatigue, that might actually be more fast twitch dominant.

anyway I am over 315 and prolly just over 225x17

ya i gotta agree with this guy as he seem to be knowlegdeable about lifting matters, i think that all people have some slow twitch and some fast twitch because when u think back to eveoltion we needed both because sometimes we need to jog long distances to hunt mammoths and escapoe hutning sabre tooths from killing us but also need to sprint fast incase snow leapord or dinosaurs chase us down from cave and we need quick energy to escapoe so we could mate and continue to grow as a human species and evoleve into what we are today,.

You should be repping 315. 1 time.

Everyone is different. I rep 225 for 14 but I never take more than 3 reps with more than that.

You sure? I can hit it x25 and that's full rom... no wrist wrap no boards no arched back.

[nsiegel5]

this is different for everyone depending on their ratio of fast twitch to slow twitch muscles. fred hatfield wrote an interesting article on this.

This is the truth and there is no way to really know except to do your 1 rep max

I find it even more truthful on squats where I may be able to do much heavier weight the same number of repetitions I do on a lighter weight.

[Mvick07]

my friend does 275x3 and he maxed at 315

[ulfhednar]

315x11

225x34 ( last September)

vids of negs. also i do more i think but i arhchja nd use powerliftinf technqiue for maximum power and leveerage

[brudman]

vids of negs.

Why would vids of negs be of any relevance to this thread?

[mcfadden47]

Either I'm an easily-winded slob or something very ****ed up is going on with these rep ranges. My max is 345 and 235 for 10 or 12 would be a reasonably challenging work set.

That's really me, but I had to use some guy's body so that nobody would know I was actually just a banana thieving dog.

[COBBER]

I can rep 225x10 and my max is 280-285

[p19blackmetal]

My goal is to bench 315, what would I be reping in order to get 315?

When i first did 315 I got 245 for 8. So i guess It depends.

question: ROM length aside, those of you with a 315 max, how many times can you bench 225 in 10 seconds?

[rickyb80]

Well yeah, you're 5'9" 260.....built like a brick probably. You're body is built giving you a huge advantage on bench press but you probably strain just wiping your a$$(no offense). I'm 5'11" 185 and I can only bench 305 lbs, but I'll bet I could out run you and out swim you without even trying!

No, but seriously, it's good to have all types of lifters in the gym and I'm sure if I saw you pushing up some serious weight I'd be motivated to go harder on my lifts. But for me, I've just accepted the fact that with my lanky build I will never be a dominant lifter in the bench press.

I successfully did a one rep max bench of 315 2 nights ago. It went up much easier than I thought it would. I probably could of got at least 320.

Here is what I can do for reps right now:

225 x 15
255 x 9
275 x 6
295 x 3

I was able to do 315 x 4 about a year ago, but like an idiot I did not deload and wound up going backwards all the way to only being able to do 255 x 5.

I am 53 years old and weigh 240 pounds (including about 25 pounds of useless sludge gained while waiting for a hip replacement). Now that I am able to walk again my goal is a 345 bench at 215 pounds. I intend to keep lifting until they have to pry the freaking bar out of my hands.

This is a great website and I have got a lot of useful info here.

brah

are you a necromancer

srs question

[Terry1960]

I do not require the harnessing of spirits (or steroids). LMAO!! I have been lifting since I was 14, and I am blessed with Finnish genetics.

I know this is an old thread, however it is one of the top threads from a Bench Press related google search, therefore I figured I'd throw in another post to help anyone else that did a search.

Back in October '11 I hit 315x1, and then within the next few weeks I hit 245x10 and 255x9. Shortly before hitting 315 I hit 275x5 and 305x2. 285 and 295 were low single digits.
