    How much can you bench?

    1 rep. It's as important today as when you were 16.

    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

    Re: How much can you bench?


    Maybe The Water Cooler and the Thread Title is a clue…….
    _.__________-
    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

    Re: How much can you bench?

    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 can still bench about 240lbs for one rep.
    Be fore warned, I regularly post drunk. So don't take offence (too much) to what I say.
    I am the real 'Napster'
    The Grid. A digital frontier. I tried to picture clusters of information as they moved through the computer. What did they look like? Ships? motorcycles? Were the circuits like freeways? I kept dreaming of a world I thought I'd never see. And then, one day...

    Re: How much can you bench?

    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.

    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.
