Bench

[brlacrosse50]

i was at the weight room today getting in shape for lax and was just wondering how much you guys can bench.

[WaRriorInVein]

i weigh 145 pounds and bench 200. Last month i was puttin up 185 so im increasing gradually

[GCHSLax04]

Wow. Not again. Theres already a thread on this and everyone is going to put up BS numbers. I'm 155 and I can bench at max 155.

[novi26]

i rep at 135 (3 sets w/ 10 reps) and i can put up 150 about 4-5 times. i think that puts my bench at 165ish?

[GIattack]

i weigh 145 bench 160

[OutBurst]

There is a thread about this in the conditioning forum....

[JAFlorence]

My max out is hovering just below twice my body weight. I can easily do over 20 reps with my body weight. That ratio is more important than actual weights, IMHO.

[GIattack]

if you max is less than how much u weigh, but you can do 20 reps with how much you weigh, you max would be much more than your body weight.

[brlacrosse50]

sorry i didnt realize there was already a thread on this already.. sorry

[jedimasterPIMP]

I weigh 177 and I can put up 215 for like 4-5 times.

[xSURFERx]

i wiegh 150 and max out at 215 and do 3 sets of 12 at 170

[attacklax]

i weigh 125-130 and i max about 125

LIARS! Search before you start a thread.

I am 15 years old, a sophmore in High School, Drink Protein Shakes everyday, Weigh 170 and Bench 235 as my Max

[the wister]

Don't forget sexy as hell, :wink. 132 benched 155 once last week, 1st time. I haven't gained weight since end of last year's wrestling season.

i recently pulled a muscle in my chest, somehow... but when i was in the weightroom seing what i could do, i asked a personal trainer that works out their all the time what i should and shouldnt do, and how to heal it. While i was talking to him he told me he watches me bench and sais im doing it wrong. i am doing it the way my gym teacher told me but i would rather take advice from a trainer. anyway with the way i was doing it, not going fully down to my chest, stoping about and inch or two off, and brought the bar down closer to my neck than my nipples. but i was able to do 7 reps of 175. but with the right way which i guess is going all the way down to the chest and more in the middle near the nipples than the collar bone. im guessing probably 10 reps of 155. i weigh 155-160 ish. but by the time my muscle heals ill proably be back down to 150-145 ish. oh yea, and my max is probably 200, it was 230 doing it my old bad form way.

I can bench the front end of a Cooper Mini Car. But not on the incline bench, only flat. The dealer gets all pissed & I usually get run off the lot before I can do 4-5 reps.

[CHSgoalie3]

I weigh 175, and I am fat, slow, and out of shape. Coming around slowly, but I can only throw up 140 or so.

[laxdude54]

the wister what school do u wrestle for and what weight i ma wreslter so im just curius and how can u not gain weight after wrestling season i eat as much as i can after starving for three months

[the wister]

9th grade I wrestled 112(I was at 107), 10th I wrestled 112 and kept at about 111, but gradually went up as we got our 1 or 2 lb increments in jan./feb. Last year I wrestled 125 and ended the season at 130, gained 2 pounds, and haven't gained any weight since. I was usually 2 pounds over my target weight and had to cut the day before a match, but last year was the only year I ever had to cut weight. I did get down to 119 three times during the season, that was hell.

When I was a freshman my coach wanted me to try to get to 103, but, not including last year, I've never been able to lose or gain more than 2 pounds at a time. I just have an extremely fast metabolism. I eat a lot and hardly get sick. I only missed half a week of school when I had mono, versus most people who are out a month or so. One time I ate half a dozen glazed kk donuts and finished an entire Wendy's triple classic with cheese. In 15 minutes.

[titanslax]

th wister, who are you?

[Dan]

I dunno. 80, maybe? I'm weak. All I know is that I curl 25 pounds per arm, so I don't know how that translates to the all important bench, because I haven't got access to a gym.

haha join the club. im HORRIBLE at bench. i can do maybe 110 tops. and the thing that has me scared pantsless is that its one of the three things we are being tested on for lax. but 110 is about 40 pounds more than what i could do a month and a half ago when i started lifting. the other two things we are being tested on ive never done in my life. squat and powerclean. i dont have freeweights like that at home and its hard for me to get to school to use their stuff cuz the gym is open in the morning at 6, which is hard for me to get to cuz i have no way to get in. needless to say im really really uber nervous about the testing. and like i said i have no access to good freeweights so i ahve no idea how much i can curl.

[bigDman]

[roxlax]

[shocker]

[monmlax]

royally screwed up my shoulder and cant bench anymore. maybe i can bench the bar. I havn't done it for about 4 years though. That brings me to another thing... Is there another way to build up that muscle group without benching?

[Damn D man]

Oh and a whole lot of you are lying. If i had the "My internet **** is this big" picture, I would defenitly post it right here --->

[bayhawkslax216]

yeah, see, I'm gonna pair with the noodle armers. However, My legs are monstrously powerful. Its like i was built wrong and every muscle in my body was taken away and put in my legs, slow twitch style.

[bayhawkslax216]
