How many times can y'all rep 225 on the bench?

[Ezekiel 25:17]

Just started the gym late February, missed last week because of car issues. Anyway I been going this week, going again today. I been flabby since high school because I was never athletic I'm 6' 286lbs 30% body fat, definitely trying to cut.

I'm only doing 1 plate to make sure my form right. Tried 185 for the hell of it and did 8 reps and it was alright. I'm thinking about seeing how many times I can do 225. That way when the guys ask me how much can I bench I can claim 225, which is respectable. I don't tell anybody I'm doing 135, folks would start a roast session.

If you’re only doing 185 eight times, don’t fukk yourself up trying to lift 225.

 

[Brolic]

22-28 reps depending on how I'm feeling that day.
