How much can you bench press?

[A Pimp Named Slickback]

In my college football prime I could do 225 19 times. Maxed out at like 435 or some shyt. Now......


I'm 50 pounds lighter now so imma get right eventually

You should probably get yourself at LEAST to the point where you can do 25 of those before you worry about benching.

Yeah I get it but my point is men should be taking care of their bodies

It’s a not a good indicator of much of anything other than being able to bench press. One cat in particular in my gym comes in an spends hours on the bench working around 222-245. He doesn’t lift anything else and it looks like it.

I bench press a full bottle of whiskey without a spotter

While we're on the topic of bench pressing. I got a question for some of y'all who are into fitness and things




This video is 2 years old now but this dude is 130 lb and can bench well over 2.5 times his body weight. And then you look at somebody like Julius Maddox who is like walking around at like 6'2 450 lb and I believe the best he's done is like a bit under 800 which is not 2.5 times. so which is more impressive?

800 easily. That’s someone’s max squat and bench combined maybe even their deadlift/bench/deadlift combined. There videos of people tearing their pec completely off at 405

Bench press for what? I lift 4 pounds...

I can bench press the OP

whether or not that is impressive is

I don't know what my one rep max would be, though now I'm curious. My current workout I do 185 8-10 times so I feel like I should be able to get 225 at least once.

130 X 8 is My Max

You know what, I respect the lack of cap.

292 @ 163.
But for a lat cramp at lockout I'd have 301 under my belt but I'll have that in another month or so
