Huh ?
What does this have to do with Excel ?
Most of us are not here to collect rep points: we are here because we enjoy helping people. Getting rep points and comments is nice, of course, but it's not a game or a competition. If you have joined this forum just to collect rep points, you will probably not enjoy yourself very much.

Relevant to bench presses, I think "rep" == "repetition," Ali

If bench presses are the Theme.
I bought an old Weider Multi Gym from a local Profi Weight lifter after his Muscles out grew it.
I was quite proud that I was doing in the last exercise 10 at the maximum 10 weights.
But I crashed the thing down so hard to get it back up that I probably would of broke all my ribs on the classic Bench Press equivalent weight. The thing started falling apart so I backed off to doing clean presses at 9 from the maximum 10 weights. Anything from 6 to 10 I manage at that. I am nor sure what that is translated to normal bench press weights, but it wouldn’t be accurate anyway as there is a lot of extra friction since I’ve half knackered the multi Gym.
It is getting very painful to do as I get older. I just spent 3 weeks doing hard physical work so could not train. The work is culminating in taking down a very heavy scaffolding 5 stories high today, mostly on my own. If I survive that , I think it might be time to give up the weight training, - maybe concentrate on the jogging. But then the Knees are getting quite painful these days too.
Oh well

It's an americanism. A Yank would say "I benched 140 today".....meaning he bench pressed a barbell with 140lbs of weights on it. A 'bench press' being a weight lifting term meaning lay on your back and do a reverse press up.
And then I'd call him a lightweight noofter cos I bench 220.
Thanks for the explanation! When I think of a bench, I think of somewhere to park my bottom.
So.....if you benched 220 that would mean the diet isn't working? ;-)
I don't diet - ever. Everything in moderation.

Did I say I am a linguist?
You'll appreciate this then.....English is the only language in the world where it's possible to be blunt and make cutting remarks.
LOL! Very good.
How do you know ?
How does who know what?
I Dunno
Who am I? What am I? Maybe I am really a table ...
Tablette maybe?
Maybe a banquette ...
That's probably it
@Bellygas
You are probably a mono-languager.
I like neologisms... like monoglossalist

At the risk of being called gay, what are your body stats?… I’m light / middle weight 73-76Kg @ 1.84m height. I think at my peak I benched my body weight easy, but I use the slightly knackered multi gym occasionally now, that is difficult to know what I am equivalent benching.

also it matters if u guys are using free weights or the machine imo
Free weights and I am 183cm @105kg. I would not say I am overweight ,but I do have a little extra around the stomach. I would say right now, my ideal weight would be 100kg's.
all real men need to have fats around the stomach
Linguist? Reputation is not equal to Repetition.
One test is worth a thousand opinions.
Click the * Add Reputation below to say thanks.
Repetition was not used in the opening post - rep. was, hence my misunderstanding. Perhaps if you read the thread properly ...
I only guessed that the OP was talking about weight training Benching,.. I don’t know for sure, so I wouldn’t “Bench my Reputations on it” .
Depends on the season - in winter, my blanket is heavier.
aussie mate!
