how much can you bench?

[Black02Silverado]

I used to Powerlift in my younger days. My best was in competition was a 325lbs bench, 425lbs sq and a 585lb deadlift and I was 20 and weighted 190lbs. Since then I tore both pectoralis major muscles and I'm lucky to even bench 100lbs. Now I mainly lift to try and stay in some kind of shape other than round.

No bench press no gym membership. I do a lot of 12oz curls to stay in shape.

I'm 30. 6'1" and 220 lbs. I've been chasing 405 for a long time, but haven't gotten there yet. 385 is my best so far, but I got 315 seven times last week, so I think I'm making some gains.....slowly.

 

Keep doing sets of 5 with heavy weight. I always warm up a lot before going heavy. Like 135x20

225x5, 275x5, 295x5 315x5 and so on until I can't get 5 then I'll take weight off working my way back down to 225. Helped me reach my goal. Good luck.

Thanks for the advice. Yeah, that's pretty much what I've been doing. I usually warm up with 135 and 225, then start my working sets with 275 and work my way up to a couple sets of 3 with 335-350 and then go back down the ladder. I also train for armwrestling competitions, which takes a major toll on my shoulders and elbows....so my progress on bench may be a bit slower than others. One of these days....

30-200-225. Once I hit that milestone I stopped lifting haha. Moved away from my gym at the time and just been busy to find a new near the new place. Some day soon, before I leave 30 yrs old, I will be back into fitness.
