I never go over 225

If I want to go heavy on chest I just use dumbbells.

For most people there is no need to go any higher....

I got a homeboy who is 6'0 about 205-210 yoked up, and in the 2 years I been working out with him I've never seen him bench over 225.

I never understood the dudes with 315 on the bench doing 1-2 rep sets. Talking about "today we going HEAVY!!!"

135 for reps club OOORRAAHH!

EDIT: no smiley? TF?!

I'm at 285 lbs. one rep but I don't fukk with the barbell, dumbbells are what everyone should use always.

 

[Bro?]

I usually stick with 225 but it's not really by choice. I think the most I could do was 245 for 6 but that was at the fattest end of my bulk.

225 is fine i feel like it does the job for bench just fine

for me, yes. bb hurts my rotator a bit perhaps cause i got long arms. I got the wingspan of a 6'3'' person but I'm 5'11''

Personally, I feel like dumbbells work better for isolating your muscles.

Plus DB dont limit your motion and work sabilizers

I don't feel comfortable going heavy on bench, seen too many videos of shyt going wrong.


If shyt goes wrong with dbs I just toss them shyts and hope no one is walking by
