how big are you and how much do you bench?

[SquareCircle]

Bench press DOES affect boxing. ever heard of close grip benching? I guaran-****ing-tee that exercise benefits not only the jab, but all your straight shots. and regular/wide grip bench will make your goddamn hooks stronger.

imo it would be best to do some leg strength training, though. now I feel like hittin some close grip bench though, since i love the jab.

know what else is good for boxing? i just found this out the other day, GOLF,(swinging motion) and baseball.(batting motion) each of these motions simulates when you throw a cross. thats why corrie sanders had that ****ing insanely quick straight left cross. he played golf his whole life...his abs were trained to make that maneuver with the quickness.

There was this guy on my college football team who benched 600 pounds. Yes, six ****in hundred. Saw it with my own eyes, 6 plates on each side. He was a big Italian dude, and wasn't even that huge. I'd say he weighed maybe 250-260 at the time.

Umm just because he had 6 plates doesn't meat it was 600lbs. just to let you know. Still that's a lot, but it doesn't mean anything if you take steroids. And please don't tell me he didn't because anyone to bench that much in college has to be, and him being in football proves my point even more.

My personal best was 240 x 2 when I used to weigh 170 about 2 months ago when I was on a mass gaining diet. Now I'm down to 162 and I doubt it's 240 because I haven't maxed out since then but doing less weight and more reps for the summer.

My logic exactly, I wanna be in a good shape not **** up my rotator cuffs.

I agree with that. I was teachin one of my friends some ****, he's a baseball player, and he's not **** or anything for someone who doesn't know much, but obviously he's not so good. But he can deliver there absolutely thundering right hooks that make me quiver when I see them. Haha, 'course it doesn't go so well with the left hooks.

You should know that when a guy refers to plates, he is usually talking about 45 pound plates. And its possible to bench that much without roids. Ive seen with my own two eyes 17 year old kids bench 400+. Just because hes benching 600 doesnt mean hes taking steroids. Stop being ignorant.

Uhhh what the hell are you talkin about...if you lift weights in the continental United States of America you should know that a "plate" = 45lbs. And if you need help with the math, each plate is 45 pounds and so is the bar...45 x 13 = 585. The extra baby weights needed to make it an even 600lbs should be a given.

I didn't say he wasn't takin steroids, cuz I don't know. He may have been. But he wasn't all that huge and even with juicin (on a college football level, not on a Ronnie Coleman bodybulding level) thats an incredible feat any way you look at it. I know people who been jucin for years who can't bench half that.
