And I dumbbell bench 80 lb, and that's 80 lb TOTAL [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] The good news is I've been increasing the weight every week.

Re: OFFICIAL How Much Can You Bench Thread
 

I have no idea but I'll see if I'm up for it tomorrow. I'll be happy if I can bench my bodyweight 168, 5'9.

Mike Vegas, 5'10 185lbs, lost 30 lbs and still want to lose 30lbs more? what?

Soh, we all have to start somewhere. Keep it up

Re: OFFICIAL How Much Can You Bench Thread
 

I just started lifting again after dropping ~85 lbs. I lost the weight by running my ass off and not eating, so I got down to about 145 with hardly any muscle. I started lifting again, could hardly rep out 135. Somehow or another I managed to get to lifting way more than even when I weighed more. I havent maxed yet, but I do 275x2 in my last set. That's after my whole bench workout, so I think 290-300 is pretty doable. I also have really strict form (no arch or anything), and since im not really looking to be a powerlifter I think im doing okay.

Re: OFFICIAL How Much Can You Bench Thread
 

pr is like 230 or so.

honestly i don't bench any more because i'm not sure why anyone would do it when pushups are almost as effective (until a certain point) and there's not all that risk of injury.

Soh, You're just getting started. Worry about learning the movements, not PRs. Your bench is probably a bit higher using a barbell rather than dumbells if that's encouraging at all. Keep up the good work!
