how big are you and how much do you bench?

Too bad you weren't adept at it... that must have been pretty embarassing for you to be so weak...:wank:

im 6'4 and weigh about 260. that is an embarrassing max for a person of my size.

I used to rep 280 twice senior year. so I guess its sorta bad. I was thinking of trying to max at 400 for another goal but,thats to much work.

i'm just posting this so u all can get a good laugh out of this. i don't do bench press anymore, i do dumbbell presses on a huge rubber ball, but when i was trying to pump up as a 158 lb 22 year old, my max bench was 215, i think for two reps.

I'm 145 lbs, 15 years old, and can bench my weight once. I think I can do like 5 lbs more though.

I think it is a pretty good number, and I am hoping to do 180 by the summer.

I'm 5'10 weigh 145 pounds I bench 165 for 6 reps. I used to lift weights alot when I didn't know to much about it and while I did get stronger I didn't like how much I bulked up and slowed down. So I quit cold turkey about 3 1/2 months ago. I still exercise regularly but I definitely don't do as many weight exercises as I used to. I do pushups, crunches, heavybag, jumprope, hyperextensions, and pullups. I guess I went more "natural" and I definitely feel quicker, I have more stamina, and see a significant increase in punching power. I used to bench 220 1 rep max when I was lifting alot. I weighed 150 then. But for me personally, I'd rather be quicker, have more stamina and just look naturally fit, not big like Arnold. Plus I definitely would rather punch harder then lift a heavier weight than most people.

LoL like I've mentioned before, I also belong to a bodybuilding forum and it seems many many members up their "e-stats"

Me personally, will rep 155 10 times. Real impressive, I know.

Btw 5'6" 146lbs

6feet,200lbs and my max is 270 (i weighed 185 at the time) honest

Its true that the bench press doens't prove a damn thing. I could press 365pounds, but so what?! It doenst mean a thing when I'm flat on my back laying on the canvas. Years of lifting weights has given me strength but has made me slow. Just like a lot of things bench press is also down to technique as well as strength. Different variables come in to play like where you position yours, arching your back, the length of your arms, your diet, supplements etc etc.

For those who feel their bench press is low don't worry about it. Many of the big guys who bench press a phenomenal amount can barely do 10-15 press ups.

I'm 5-11 and about 150 and i can max like 130 but once again my trainer for boxing also tells me not even to bench

Im not lying at all. The summer going into my junior year, I joined a weight lifting program my new football coach intalled called "bigger, faster, stronger" I went from benching 185 to benching 280 the summer going into my senior year. Not to mention I missed 3 months with a bad hamstring injury where I could only lift light weights.
