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. [/ QUOTE ] Almost as effective at what? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Re: OFFICIAL How Much Can You Bench Thread
285 best. No idea now due to injuries.
I was once benching next to Chris Hovan, formally of the MN Vikings. Hovan loaded the bar with 415 and did 10 reps without a spotter and it looked about as easy for him as warming up with only the bar.

[ QUOTE ] personal best- 500 @ 275 current- 415 @ 215 [/ QUOTE ] Tx, You're a [censored] Beast! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] [/ QUOTE ] The strange thing is that, at 215, I dont feel either big, or terribly strong. It's all a contrast I suppose. If I was 180 six months ago, I'd feel gigantic and superman-ish. My last 1RM session was 4 weeks ago, and I haven't lifted much since, due to the WSOP. On the plus side, I'm really close to having abs again, so all is well, and skinny Tex gets much more tail then bulky Tex. I digress. What I wanted to say is benching 2x your body weight w/o a shirt is SO [censored] HARD. I'VE BEEN TRYING TO DO THIS FOR YEARS. DAMNIT, I WILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
