Bench 315? What do you rep?

**TheSeeker** · 11-24-2003, 04:22 PM

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

**BigKazWSM747** · 11-24-2003, 04:44 PM

If you could rep between 220 and 235 8-10 times you could probably bench 315 for a max.

That sounds about right. My friend uses that much weight for his sets and he maxes at 320.

Damnit i can only put it up 2104504 times, so close... maybe one day though

**Maximu5** · 11-25-2003, 08:09 PM

I'd say around 255 for 8 reps

**MJSbossman** · 11-26-2003, 03:05 PM

When I maxed at 315, I could rep 265 x 7.

When I maxed at 325, I could rep 280 x 7.

These sound more like it. For me it's around 50 pounds more than I can do something for 10 reps.

**BigKazWSM747** · 11-26-2003, 03:27 PM

you must have a fairly high number of slow twitch fibers for your weight to be only 50 lbs. less (so if its like 300 then its 250) and you can do it for 8-10 reps.

**PainThriller** · 11-26-2003, 04:05 PM

I max 350 and i can only do 265-270 10 times at most. The most i have ever done with 315 is like 3 or 4.

**Bob45** · 11-26-2003, 04:20 PM

I've been staying in a lower rep range lately. 4 - 6. I'll try it next week. I rarely do 1RM. I'm at 236 X 4 for now. I would guess I can do 270 - 275 once. I'm finally eating a lot again. I'm hoping it will keep going up.

**Beeza** · 11-26-2003, 04:53 PM

I can do 220 x 9, and can do nowhere near 315 for a bench press

I'm more around 275 I think. I guess it all depends on the person.

I can hit 25 pounds over my 2RM for my 1RM.

I dunno why I even posted lol...

**Marciano** · 11-29-2003, 01:37 AM

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

**bLeDZePPeLiN69** · 11-29-2003, 06:58 AM

To pop up 315 lbs one time you should be repping out between 8-10 reps of 225 lbs. But just lifting 225 lbs for 8-10 reps does not mean you will pop up 315 lbs, if you 225 lbs is the only thing you do.

Currently I pop up 225 lbs, for reps between 22-27. I always rep out at the end of of flatbench and Incline. On incline at the end of my long workout, I still can rep out at least 18-20 reps of 225 lbs.

Here are my 2 rep maxes.

Bench 415 lbs
LegPress 1,750 lbs (5 reps) Machine won't hold anymore weight.
Incline Bench 390 bls.
Straight Bar Curl. 210 lbs.
one hand dumbbell curl. 85 lbs.

I do not do heavy weight with Squats, or dead lifts due to a bad lower back.

Im 6'1, weigh in out 202 lbs. with 6 percent body fat. Im natural, only taking in over the counter supplements. So far 1-AD is the best I've ever taken. When im on 1-AD there is a big change in strength and mass gains.

lol go to the teen section to brag you barly answered the question lol

**SUPERWIMP** · 11-30-2003, 05:56 PM

finally some normal numbers, it seems everyone else on these forums are the strongest people on earth,lol or just too embarassed to put what they really lift. I know there's strong people on here, but everybody can't be.

**bLeDZePPeLiN69** · 11-30-2003, 06:13 PM

Yeah it's a shame the teen bodybuilders lift more than all of us... maybe we should transition to get some strength gains

**PainThriller** · 11-30-2003, 07:30 PM

I just read my previous reply yo the topic, and i didn;t even answer the question. I remember exactly what i used to rep when i was 1 rep maxing 315. For 10 reps, i was doing 230-240 for sets of 10 reps. For 5-6 reps, i was using around 265-270. At that time, i was also doing 275 for sets of 4, and i was doing 300 for 3 reps.

**MeatPlow** · 12-02-2003, 05:58 AM

For me.....300x5=340x1, 255x8=320x1. I think it really has more to do with the manner that you handle the weights. I find that most of the time if I use around 70-80% of 1RM for plenty of good sets of 1-3 reps I seem to handle heavier weights more efficiently but thats a no duh.

**Jcfreak_02** · 12-02-2003, 09:54 AM

I would say 245 for 8-10 reps.

**BrANjiSpAd** · 12-02-2003, 11:55 AM

for me

225x3 =275
225x5 =295

I just did 225 5x5 so I should be in the 400s LOL. Reps will lower your 1RM singles and triples will bring it up once you have that base of reps.

WOW, i did 225x6,6,5, and i dont think im close to 275.

**BrANjiSpAd** · 12-03-2003, 02:02 PM

i am all ****ed up with my fast twitch fibers

**bigray** · 12-04-2003, 11:23 AM

What of you bench 215 5x5 how much can u max?

**SUPERWIMP** · 12-04-2003, 12:16 PM

everyone max's out differently, you just have to try and see for yourself. I personally am someone that can never bench for alot of reps so it would seem my max is alot less than what I can actually do.

**PainThriller** · 12-04-2003, 01:10 PM
