What’s your bench max?

Be honest

 

[Jekyll]

I haven't maxed out in years because I only workout alone. I can rep 225 pretty easy for sets of 10. My squats in the 300s though.

[Gully Bull]

Stopped trying to add to it. 265 @ 165lbs

OHP a better show of strength

True but I have never seen someone with a strong OHP that has a weak bench, I have seen it the other way around though.

 

[levitate]

100

 

[Asante]

This nikka stopped count under 300lb

Between 365-405lb

I think weights are not a great measure of strength in general. It helps you build a base but if you can't throw a punch then its all for nothing. Alot of big nikkas can't even wrestle right.

 

[Collateral]

135lbs.

 

[Vandelay]

I hit 345 for 1 rep.
I can get 315 for 3.
In January/February.

With Covid I'd be hard pressed to hit 275 more than once.

Edit: 5'8" 195-200 lbs for measure.

A max bench means nothing without saying how much you weigh. Relative strength is what reveals itself in your physique.

If you weigh a lot less than someone but can lift a far greater percentage of weight in relation to your bodyweight then your physique will look significantly more impressive.

And at the end of the day an impressive physique is what most people who go to the gym are after. Most people are not trying to be competitive powerlifters.

400LBS for reps
