How much can you benchpress?

>>70784855 (OP)

10 pounds

That's not very much.

325 and I'm not peaked.

>>70784855 (OP)

Man I can't believe I struggled with 65lbs for 4 when I first started lifting. It's still not amazing but I bench 245lb now for 5s.

Not saying it's freakish, but benching 2plate+ is nothing to sneeze at.

I am willing to bet I can do 100lbs, but I work in a bakery where I haul around 50lb bags of flour and pull around big 50lb metal bowls. Might be a little less but I have no idea desu

I'm a mediocre lifter but I can currently do 5 reps of 215 and 10 reps of 200.

225 after 3 months of lifting.

Several friends of mine who have been lifting for over a year still haven't reached 225. I don't want to sound like an asshole but I don't get how that's possible.

maybe 175 for 5. Have done 200 or 205 for a single before. Don't really enjoy the bench, but I have been training it more.

275 for my 1rm. Hate bench though. Love me some dips instead and it carries over a ton

My lower body strength is embarrassingly low though

>>70784855 (OP)

I can do 1 plate for 5x5 and I've never tried a 1 rep max.

I started benching a month ago and before that could only do 5 push ups so im happy.

>>70784855 (OP)

Best 1rm was 325

Best set was either 265x9 or 285x5

>225 after 3 months of lifting

That's impressive. What could you lift from the start?

Fantastic progress bros

hmm I will try dips, and I need to do more db bench.

I do enjoy that since I can feel my pecs working better.

>>70784855 (OP)

100 for 5 reps. 2 months ago it was only 50. I'm happy with my progress ^.^

>inb4 FATASS LOL DIE!!! KYS DIE DIE DIE!!!

haha i've actually been an underweight skeleton my whole life but its the same rhetoric just on the other polar side. I can take the assumptions and jokes. Most people think I'm a meth head. I dont care. I live my life and do well for my life for ME and nobody else! I love me ^.^

70kg/154x5

225 is 1rm.

I started where you started, it's been a year and I can only bench 215 lbs, although I can do 5 reps. I probably don't lift as often as I should though. I like running more than lifting.

>>70784855 (OP)

18 months ago I was benching the bar. Today my 1RM is around 70kgs. 

Is this okay progress? I only flat benched once a week till recenly.

I had a mental breakdown and lost 7kg of pure muscle lol. But I'm almost back to where I left off strength-wise.

Not bad progress for only benching once per week but you still have a lot more in you than that bro
