how big are you and how much do you bench?

[Verstyle]

not everybody is like that, i've heard from people that the power doesn't come from the knuckles it comes from the biceps. but that's just some people, i dont know about the rest.

brooklyn said it correct,post above u. especially compact hooks.my biceps have gotten bigger,just from punching the bag.

Without roids your bro wouldn't lift 500 off his chest. Of course you need decent enough genetics to bench that much on roids (just have to be anything except asian lol jk). But still, saying you bench that much on roids means almost nothing when comparing him to other people. Roids do make you superhuman; have you ever seen the results of roids within a few weeks, and then months? It'll gain so much strength and power for someone in months to what they could have, or not even reached in their liftetime. Roids do make people superhuman, and I can understand him using roids in a Division I school, I probably would too if I played college football, but it's nothing to brag about.

Guy 1 "I just benched 600"
Guy 2 "Really? Damn that's crazy. N/A?
Guy 1 "No, I was on the bottle"
Guy 2 "Oh ok, no big deal then"

See what I mean? Good for him, nothing surprising though .

Uhh...Do you know anyone that can bench 600 pounds? Probably not. Bottle or not. Its an impressive feat for a 21 year old dude any way you look at it. I know people that juice...one of my boys does actually. Hes a 250 pound brick house...bigger and wider than the dude who benched 600lbs. And the most I seen him do was 350 three times.

Most top bodybuilders can't bench 600 pounds and they stick themselves with **** that could make you fly. I know he wasn't doin no major league ****...He was a thick dude with some mass on him and was actually a bit on the small side for an offensive lineman. You'd just look at him and say, oh hes a pretty big dude but he was no Bob Sapp. If he took anything, probably some Deca like alot football players used to do. And that aint makin you throw up 6 plates.

Repping and maxing are two differet things...slow twitch vs fast twitch muscles. He genetically posessed the ability or potential to bench that much.

some ppl cant understand what genetics can do for u,cause they dont have it. It's hard to comprehend how its possible if themselves dont have the ability.I get alot of ppl that dont believe **** that I say.

Larry Allen, former Cowboy lineman put up 750. Almost a world record.

punching bags? you have got to be kidding me. punching bags are good for your knuckles, to be strong, but the strength to KO someone comes from your biceps and your forearms.

Hitting a heavy bag as hard as you can with 18s on after a while will give you plenty of strength.

I remember hearing that...although it was not "raw" if it was true. The raw world record as stands today is 715 by Scott Mendelson. However with the bench shirt the record is over 1000 pounds.

The motion of the biceps is a pulling motion. So, biceps help with jabs. However, biceps have nothing to do with punching power. Punching power comes from making your fist go as fast as it can as hard as it can, and hitting in the right spot. Technique is what gives you punching power.

Some ****in amazing stats in this thread!

I am 6'2 and weigh 230lbs, my max for two reps was 180KG (396 lbs), I was easily one of the strongest in the gym I went to.

I've never seen anyone bench over 400lbs free style, could happen if they are juiced up I supposed but I have never seen it!

Ronnie Coleman pressed just under 500lbs, but Powerlifters can press around 700lbs so....

[me2007]

im 5 feet 2, 300 lbs and can bench 100lbs
