I haven't tested my one rep Max in a while, but based off of the calculators I'm somewhere in the 265lb-275lb ballpark.

Hoping to get to 300lb before this year is over. We'll see though.

BW: 195

Most people aren’t putting up weight like that and overestimate themselves. Only dudes that putting up 185+ are the ones that’s consistently hitting the gym. Average person might be able to do 135 lol
Nah some of us are naturally strong. Back in the day I used to do nothing but play ball. Never touched weights or did pushups or pull ups or anything and no physical labor. First time I tried to lift I was pushing 250+.

My personal best is 305. I never really tried to max out but once. Me and my boys was drinking and decided to all try to max out. I outdid everybody with 295. I was never big into lifting like that so I was letting the bar just rest on my chest before lifting. They threw another 20 on and somebody told me to just bounce it straight back up instead of letting it rest on me. I tried to bounce it back up like that said and just heard a loud ass pop in my shoulder.

That was like 10 years ago. Recently tried to see if I could still push 300 and di it for multiple reps surprisingly. Haven't tried any higher than that.

I've done 345 for 2 before.

225 I can hit 10 times easy.

How Much Weight Can Batman Actually Lift?.


In Batman #655, Bruce is shown to be bench pressing over 1000 pounds during one of his regular workouts. In Batman Odyssey #2, Bruce mentions that his maximum leg press is 2500 pounds

It's odd that they were in an outdoor gym. Most dudes at the gym know how much they can bench, down to the pound. It's like he brought them off the street and then asked them the question.

The most I’ve ever pressed was 365 a few times. That was in 2020 during the pandemic at an outdoor gym. I’ve switched to dumbbells and home workouts since, but I plan on hitting the gym again starting in June and would gladly record myself benching. Lying on your strength is like lying on your dikk.

225 is probably my 1RM right now, which I don't attempt. When I'm regularly hitting 185-195 12 times I'll try 2 plates.
