how many times can you bench 225 /fit?
I just hit 20 maybe could of hit 2-3 more tops.
dont lie you fuqz
>>34860972
Why would I ever do that?
Nice reddit image by the way.
>>34860992
so 0 for you sir.... next
>>34860972
270 1rm
how much reps would that be with 225?
i guess 8-9
>>34861009
Why would I spend valuable training time trying to bench 225 for as many reps as possible instead of on things that would actually improve my bench?
just 1RMd for 225
>>34860972
Never tried it for reps. I would estimate 9 or 10 though. I did 225 for 5 in my second warm up set in tonight's workout and it was very comfortable. Pumped out 4 at 270. I would say I'd definitely get 8 at 225 if I was going for reps, 10 probably maximum comfortably, not sure if I push to failure.

>225 for 5 in my second warm up set
wat
what was the first warmup set
-1
my max bench was 195 even when I was diddlylifting 415
>>34860972
225 what?
I got it 12 after 4 sets of 8.
Usually around 6-8 times.
>>34861174
225 lbs
>>34860972
0 after lifting for a year and a half. Everytime I would get to 175 for reps my arms would burn out and my shoulders hurt.
Realized that my shoulder strength and mobility were shit and am just now figuring out how to use chest.
Probably two or three reps
14 was the most I hit once. Post a pic of body anon.. people wanna see what 20 reps at 225 lbs on bench looks like in human form
0.
Did 185x5 today tho
>>34860972
I'm starting my chest workout with incline bench (currently 190lbs x 8). Maybe I can do 225lbs on flat bench r-right?
>>34860972
It wouldn't feel as good as you'd think.
>>34860972
3x8 reps today. 9 max. Bums me out. Feels like I should be repping 275 by now. Such is life. 200lbs 6'3" makes it more embarrassing.
probably like once, maybe twice
I did 195 for 5 sets of 5 last time
Going to move up to 200 next bench day
>roasting peps without height/weight
5'4 170. 10 reps after 5x5 285
>>34860972
0 times
but I can bench 135 about 20 times
>>34861234
How did you fix it
>>34861772
>not including bodyweight with run times
thats my current plateau, can do 4 reps x 225
>>34861772
all the reps in the world won't make you something other than a turbomanlet
>that subpar feel when 205 is your 1 to 3 rep max
funny thing, I never go above 200
even tho I can do 5*10-ish good reps with it
the reason is hard to explain ... I feel the pressure in my wrists is just too high.
>>34861352
post chest pls
>>34861869
Work on your wrist form. Assuming you don't already know about it, it's a real thing.
>>34861869
Bench is weird. I can do 275 for 8 reps but 285 i can only do one usually. Sometimes I miraculously rep out 3-4 but this is very rare. After 265 ill just do singles up to 315.
The weight is just too much for the stabilizers or something and also i have a hard time controlling breathing.
My best 2 plate was for 16 reps. It was very fast touch and go though.

no, I didn't know
any links?

There's plenty of more credible videos but this one had the specific form I'm talking about. Should cover the main idea.

>>34860972
Once, with a spotter and shitty form.
my best is 9 reps
>>34861915
thanks, I'll try this
Probably 1-2 times. I don't like to max because I lift alone, but I can get 185 10+ times so 225 should be doable.
>>34861857
same desu senpai
>>34860972
Yeah I'm sure you can put 2pl8 up the same amount of times as NFL linebackers in the combine
>>34862381
those fucks do more than 20 tho
>>34860972
Not the best form but I hit 2 plates for 17 reps at 180lbs body weight.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8q5dclcvqI
>>34860972
probably 2 times right now, trying to get back to work tho desu
>>34862740
You did give the disclaimer of poor form, so I don't wanna be a total dick, but cmon, you don't even lock out. I'd honestly bet you could maybe hit 10 on a good day with lock out. Keep going tho bro. Your gonna make it
>>34860972
dat ass though.
>>34862740
Pretty stronk
I've been plateauing on 2plate for ages and ages, sometimes I make 5 reps, others only 3.
>tfw I 1RM 80kg OHP and can't do a decent bench for the life of me
>>34861063
Same breh feels good Tbh
>>34860972
I don't really bench, but I hit 85kg DB bench for 6 clean reps. how would that translate?
>>34861174
fahrenheit
I don't do flat but I can get 2pl8x3 on decline and I'm just shy of it on incline.
I'm pretty proud of it for only weighing 165lb and having no clue wtf I'm doing.
>>34861035
you know your stuff, senpai
lol barbell benching is such a fat cunt gay meme, go use dumbells you uncultured swine
>>34863541
>85kg dbs in each hand
>>34860972
PR 10 last december
now probably 4
best ive done is 32
I dont do your fraction reps
1 RM at 110kg (242.5lbs).
Weighted dips really helped me improve my bench.
>>34860972
Maybe once?
I don't really know. I'm 170lbs and maybe 12% body fat. I generally do dumbell presses, and have never maxed out on my bench. So, beats me?
I'd be happy with 3. 2 no problem.
Back in high school we did a 225 rep max, I won with 17 reps. Funny cause the most I ever 1RM was 275. Now 8 maybe 9 reps.
>>34860972
always fail the 10th rep
got 120kg for 1 the day after doing 90kg for a 20 rep rest pause set
>>34861113
I hate you.
I can do 225 ten times but can only do 270 once or twice.
What is wrong with me??
>>34864145
>>34864087
a few people itt are the same
some people are better at maxing out singles than repping out and vice versa
>Hit 70kg x 5 on ohp (Not using legs)
>Can only bench 90kg x 5 and 100 x 1
RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
