Strong bench press for gym goers not everyday men

[Originalgangsta317]

The average man can't lift 135,so this is for the gym goers or people who lift every now and then

What's a strong one rep max bench?

Is there any reason to go over 225,even if you hitting it for 10+reps?

good metric to shoot for is 1.5x bodyweight

benching bodyweight should be standard for any man, 1.5 is above average in almost all cases

Do you go over 225?

when i was benching regularly(barbell) i got to 255 3x5

i switched over to weighted dips and havent really gone back to barbell bench. I still do dbell bench and a variety of pushup variations but thats about it. I'm a firm believer in that there are more than one way to go about it

only constant is that you constantly have a progressive overload

I hit 300 lbs in april in bench when I was at my peak, so I would assume thats well above average but im 6 foot 190 lbs right now im focusing on squatting because im trying to hit 405, hopefully ill hit 315 bench along the way

Interesting.

I remember my boy in the joint lifting weights and only being able to bench 135 when he first started,he felt barbell was too heavy so he switched to dumbbells,about 2 years later he had got up to the 120 dumbbells and was benching 285 for 4 reps

Went from 135x1 to 285x4

Dumbbells the truth breh's

Was you 190 when you hit 300 or heavier?

I was 192 lbs to be exact I checked the scale before I went to lift that day

My bench press max is 135x7... I have a fukked up shoulder

But my dumbbell 1 rep max is 130x1 or 260 however you look at it.

1 rep max is 510lbs on the chest press machine

Stop trolling breh

For those circumstances, there's no real reason to even do 1rm max outside of personal satisfaction

Just keep playing with 6-15 and moving up as you gain strength
