[ QUOTE ]
The real question should be "how much can you bench with proper form." The answer to that for most people is about 25% less than whatever they say their max is. [/ QUOTE ] Yes and without one of those bench press shirts that acts like a wrap or spring, can add a bunch to your bench.

Re: OFFICIAL How Much Can You Bench Thread
When I was much younger I could BP about 140 in free weights, but 200 on a machine. Is this typical?
The Free weight /Machine weight ratio?
