How much does /fit/ bench press?
225 for reps, 265 max at 185lbs
415, but I weigh 340.
220 for a triple today. Got help on the last one, though.

140 on my last set of 5x5
>>35938087
Why is my bench so legit shit? It's a lot if you think about it, but I still feel like I can't tap into my power properly :(
280, weigh 205. 5x5.
Can't curl for shit though.
>>35938202
I can bench your mom if I can use my back.
>>35938011
225 for 2 singles last week
>lanklet poverty bench mustard race
>>35938185
Brother.
Benched 140 3x5 today, but got help on the very last rep. Been making steady progress, so there's hope for us both
>>35938255
>>35938185
I bench even less...
We're all gonna make it brahs
Today I set a new PR: lmao 180lbs x 2
315 max
320 at 250.
>>35938011
175 for 5
110 5x5
>tfw scared for 115
195 one rep
>mfw my bench is stronger than my squat
155 3x5
Everybody starts somewhere
>>35938011
315x1 with 10s pause
190lb
>>35938011
My max is 185. My bench has been shit ever since I started lifting, it's pretty hard for me to improve on it. I've been focusing on form and shoulder strength in the meantime.
If we do not count the bar, I'm at 120.
285 for 5 at BW 180
115 3x8
220
I deadlift 465 and squat 395 but my god damn bench is so awful
>>35938533
People like this boggle me, similar guy at my gym who diddylifts 525 but only benches 225.
>>35938524
>If we do not count the bar
Die in a fire

Two 80 dumbell. Don't like barbell benching much
>bench press
>not cable flyes
I'm a bodybuilder, not a weightlifter.
>>35938568
Good job man, keep at it and don't be a faggot.
5'8" Just benched 85 5X5. I couldn't lift the bar when I started. 2 years of progress with multiple hospitalizations and gainz stealing meds for rare autoimmune diseases in between. I couldn't be more proud considering I thought I was a dead man. I'm just starting to get off my feet after 4 years of off and on treatment (much much more on)
>>35938617
>2 years of progress
hahaha how is your bench so weak?!
>multiple hospitalizations and gainz stealing meds for rare autoimmune diseases in between
oh. well damn, keep workin at it son
5'9 225. 315 for 9 on the bench. Took ten years though.
365 lbs is my best yet. But I've lost 30 lbs since then so I doubt if be able to even come near that number any more
>>35938656

Trying this hard. You dont belong here.
>>35938656
>ten years
I wish i started lifting when i was younger so fucking bad.
>bench press
>>35938697
Man you have no idea how awesome that is to hear. It's been one helluva ride I can tell you that.
Last time I went for a 1RM (nearly a year ago) it was 165 (pounds, not kg)
Currently can do 135 for 3x8, idk what that translates to
But I squat and diddly 2 plates for sets
80kg for 5x5
I'm 172cm 75kg so it's easy for me 'cause of the ROM. I did manage to fuck my shoulder up doing those sets somehow, despite it not feeling very heavy and having done 90x2 in the summer.
145
;_; pls be nice I just started
185 5x5
Coming up on my two years of lifting consistently so it's frustrating to not be at 225 for reps but I'll keep chugging. Have a couple friends who naturally move 2 plates even if they don't train consistently
>145 3x5
>150lbs hungry skelly
Im going to hit a plateau soon right?
>>35938617
Good on ya man, we're all gonna make it
I can incline press 2pl8 for reps
I tell everyone I only do incline because flat hurt my shoulder but the truth is that I'm just really weak at flat :( been years since I've done it
1 plate for 5 reps
:)
>>35938011
>how much does fit bench?
I would literally bet $500 that every single one of these posts are complete bullshit e-stats and nothing more.
200lbs 8 reps
155x5
4 months lifting started at 65x5
>inb4 hungry skelly
>>35938011
tfw down 40+lbs on bench due to clavicle injury
>>35938933
You'd literally lose $500
180 for 15 reps.
>>35938933
Half the posts are so und 150ish and you are calling that e statting? How weak are you?
115
I'm ashamed.
>>35938185
135 but I'm getting stronger
>>35938986
Id be $500 richer.
Looks like I spotted an e-stater.
You mad, /R/edditor?
>>35938996
Could always be worse breh
100 here
If I wanted one rep maxes, I would have gone to a humor thread
185 5x5 @ 165 BW
>>35938917
Same. I'm retarded when it comes to flat bench. I can do 190 on DB incline for 6 but only 225 for 6 on flat barbell bench.
>>35939022
It's alright, at this point we can only gain.
185 x20 for warm-up/first set
225 x12 for the next two sets
285 x8-10 for the last set with a couple second break if needed.
275lbs and bulking right now
275 5x5
190 lbs
60kg 5x5
>>35938255
>>35938297
>>35938997
I put up 275 at 230 after two years of lifting. I started off dealing with multiple debilitating chronic injuries and couldn't bench the bar for reps. Most lifters will have had much better progression, but I started from just about as low as you can and now I have a respectable bench.
I went from living in so much pain that i could barely leave my bed to feeling great all day every day. It used to hurt to walk, but now i lift heavy three times a week, train Muay Thai two days and spar once a week. Never any problems that I can't keep in check from my life before fitness. I'm happier than I ever thought possible.
Just put in the time and effort, eat a lot, and work mobility because injuries are worse than anything else in the world of fitness.
We're all gonna make it.
>>35938011
Finally got 225 this weekend.
Got my dad to say he was proud.
>>35938011
jesus christ jesse.
lets lift.
>>35938185
I was doing that last year. Today i did 200 for 5x5, no spot. Between those i spent a week innamountains then a month in recovery from surgery on an all liquid diet.
Youll be there in no time.

How do people bench press that much but still look like a big fat shit?
145kg on my last 1RM test, think I could have hit 150kg if I had used a bigger increment.
>>35942151
Same.
>>35942209
Wow, nice. How long time have you been lifting?
>>35942276
About 3 years, but I'm actualy fat desu.
>>35942284
Impressive non the less.
about 95kg for 5.
275 lbs for 1
i don't know. Last week i took mixed two scoops of NO-xplode with two jack3D as a preworkout. I loaded up 250 on the bar and blacked out. When i woke up i was naked lying next to the bench. I think i did manage to get the lift though.

I don't eat enough, so my progress is pretty slow. I'm thinking of just moving up to 200 for that nice even number, and seeing how many reps I can do of that.
>>35944860
If you're not eating, don't jump 10 unless you usually do. You can't cheat gains, take it slower and you'll be there soon, otherwise you'll just plateau
Started this week.
45lbs. ;-;
>>35939872
How long have you been lifting?
>>35942200
>fat
it looks like you answered your own question
200 3x5, been lifting for 7 months almost
Did my first workout in 3 months yesterday, did 3x8 90 pounds
Feels good to be back in the gym, but man, having to step down that far hit my confidence like a brick.
>>35944875
I'm at a bit of a plataeu right now. I figured adding a little bit of weight (to a manageable degree) would help me move up and onward.
>>35944880
Don't worry brah, progress will come to you if you just keep at it.
>>35944952
Yeah, but I would add 2.5 lbs to either side. Most intermediate programs (and even beginner programs) just have you moving up by 5 lbs total every time you progress on bench
210kg
>>35944978
Thanks man. I appreciate the advice.
110pounds
One day I'll make it right guys?
Ex anorexic benching 70 for 5 :(
I do 135 for 5x5 but today is chest and I feel rested enough to try 145. Started off at an 80lb bench 7 months ago. Goal is to hit 185 for reps within the next 6 months. Im getting there.
Current max is 300 at 220. Running Smolov bench to try and push it to 310-315
90kg for 5 @74kg bw.

Who here does pause-bench (the powerlifting variation)?
Touch-and-go feels weird to me, I like the tension and added difficulty. Not a good ego lift though.
I put up 280 with no spot last chest day. I weigh 235. Is this gud?

I weight 185lbs.
Am I a gorilla?
>>35948891
I do one week volume 5x5, other week max (try 1x5PR and then add one or two more sets of triples or doubles at same weight)
I'm not maxing every workout. Just every 2 weeks.
>>35938011
205 for reps, 225 for a few reps, 245 for one. Never tried heavier.

My pet Rock can pull a jet from the sky.
>that's what I thought.
I can do about 1x5 of 155. bench seems to be very slow progress. I brought my squat up to 2 plate in about 2 months. Bench started off at 1pl. I've cleaned up form but adding weight has been annoyingly slow.

>>35950337
Never heard of him and never touched juice. Not surprised there are similar stories, though.
>>35938402
Fat as fuck. Unless you're ripped to shreds, in that case weak as fuck.
>>35945191
Checking back in to say I managed to hit my goal of 145 for 5x5 today. Feeling pumped. Bench has increased 10lbs. Gunna probably stick with 145 for another week or two then bump it up to 155 and see what I can rep out.
120lbs
I think I could do more but the problem is my left wrist has carpal tunnel or something and it hurts to bench press. Two summers ago I was told I had tendonitis, but I feel like if it's still around it can't be that. Sometimes it flares up on its own and down my arm, but usually just if I angle my hand weird or move it fast or try to lift something at an angle similar to a bench press.
I'm trying to get a doctor's appointment for it. Maybe they can fix it I dunno.
I did 250x5 yesterday at 186lbs. Felt pretty good. have paused 300 as well, but that was at 191
>so much people on /fit/ benching less than 135
seriously wtf lol
do you guys just come here to shitpost? Your average 30 year old blue collar worker benches around 205
I'm at 295 for triple, but I just do a ton of presses and it's at 205, so just because I do tons of press, people assume I can rep 315 because i rep 205, but really I'm just good at pressing
>>35938011
275 @150lbs
>>35938185
I started at 60lbs when i was a 16 year old fat fuck I got to 215lbs by the time I was 18.
I wasn't dedicated and didn't know what I was doing. I neglected lifting a lot and got fat as shit.
I'm 25 right now on an on going cut and weigh 210lbs I can probably do 285lbs max. Havent tried in a while just keep going mate a lot of people plateau on bench.

Been feeling a bit shitty about slow progress these past few months, but some of the low numbers on this thread got me feeling much better. Keep grinding bros, that 225 milestone had me smiling ear to ear for days
>>35953054
really?
samefag on >>35953015
when I was at 16 I already lifted because of football, but all the fucking fat freshmen who joined ,under trained, already were at my bench and surpassed me in a matter of months, worse is that if I had a vacation or those 4 day weekends of no weight room, I'd go straight back to benching fucking 35s', while they might as well takethe whole year off and still bench 185 easy
205 for 5
6'2 195
Is that bad?
115 for 3
135 for 1, assisted, heavily pumped up rep, minor tapping only assitance tho
at 129 lbs
recovering skelly
a-am I gonna make it?
>>35953089
Yeah I was weak as shit.
And my fucking school wouldn't let me into weight training. I had to save up 100 bucks and buy a shit bench set at Sears. I ended up stealing weights from my neighbors they would use them to hold their basketball hoop down outside.
I was only able to load up 190lbs because the bar was so short. I ended up hitting 215lbs a few times at LA fitness when I got a free pass for 2 weeks.
I know a guy at my gym who is cutting from 500lbs he's at 320lbs right now and struggles with 155lbs it fucking baffles me. The only reason he hit 155lbs was because I forced him to do it.
>>35938755
Keep going man.
>>35938011
>suicide grip
I'm at 200. 2plate is close
275 3x6, but I weigh 234. Although I am 6'4.
198 for 5 most ive ever pushed
>>35938011
I think the bench is over-rated, especially for hypertrophy.
OHP is where it's at.
So my answer is nil.
137 1 rep. Just started 2 weeks ago
I'm not sure what my 1RM is, but my volume PR is 170kg for 3x3 like 3 months ago, I'm stronger now so I think I'm good for at least 175kg for 6x3, which is scheduled for me to hit in 2 weeks
>>35938011
230 5x5
>>35954380
What do you OHP then?
>>35938011
Don't know exactly because I don't know the weight of the bar. 5 reps of 1 plate is pretty easy (Only been lifting a few months)
>>35938011
I'm 189 and I bench 275. I think it's pretty decent.
>>35938011
75kg 3x5
Eh, I've been lifting a month.
Been lifting since November and gains have slowed down since mid January so now I'm only adding 5lbs to my lifts each week rather than each session. Going to try and correct my diet since I normally eat 2200-2500 so I'm gonna try and hit 3K daily.
>>35953015
>205
>REALLY GOOD at pressing
Haha you fucking faggot I'm dieing, your realize 2/3/4/5 is the standard lifts one should have by year 3 of lifting right?
Unless you started 100 lbs over weight or something, or just started the gym a year ago your not anything special fag
I litters hit 2 plate ohp at 16 as a recovering fatass like lmao what the fuck
>>35954675
Bar's 45. You lift 135 for 5.
>>35953089
Are you fucking me? Replace 18 with 16 and turn 215 to 315. But I probably got alot fatter than you sooo
>>35955012
Litteraly *
What the fuck is wrong with this board? Every single post about deadlifts and squats is like 4pl8 for reps yet 2pl8 bench or 1pl8 OHP is a lot for you when irl i see its opposite, everyone benching over 2pl8 yet only huge guys squat/deadlift as much as you claim to lift here

Yup. I've been lifting for a year, but only six months ago I started bulking. I'm at 5 reps x 2pl8. (To be fair, I had been lifting for 7 months straight ~2 years prior)
I've been running a slightly modified version of Madcow's 5x5. It has worked great for me.
I recommend it
245 lbs x 3 is my max, my bench is trash compared to my other lifts desu senpai

You are my goal now.
Got 390 for a single right after my last week of smolov. 190 lbs bodyweight.

Is that fat breaking bad-man?
190 for reps
50, there's no barbell at my office gym so I have to use dumbbells and I have shit stability

I could barely bench the bar when I started and now I can rep 235x5. Just stay consistent! I still remember how pumped I was when I hit lmao1plate, and there is nothing quite like that. (2 plate was neat, too, but 1 was a huge mental barrier for me).
I can't bench the bar. Is there any hope for me?
When stating your lifts are you meant to include the bar's weight or exclude it?

When you put a 5lb plate on each side of the bar are you only pressing 10lbs?
>>35961463
yeah but it's not like you can lift the plates without the bar so i don't see why you include it?
230lbs but I've only been benching for 2 months.

This is my current goal. Right now I bench 200 for reps. What do you do when you're stalling on bench bro?
