Who here can't bench above 300

[The Wall Is Undefeated!]

Have fun at planet fitness

Will do. Keep criticising. It just shows I'm about something.

 

[IsThatBrothaMouzone?]

Honestly.....probably never .

I like running and cardio too much to invest the time in getting brolic enough to hit 3-plates. I'm strong enough overall doing dips, pull-ups, deadlifts, squats etc, but bench was always my weak point. Pretty much the kind of dude that can bench maybe my bodyweight plus 10 to 20% and that's it.

Only time my bench has been decent is when I've gotten heavy/chunky. When I get leaner and eat clean, my bench always drops the most. Other lifts stay mostly the same and squats dip a little but not much.

I never got into the whole benching thing truthfully but I do my thing

Bench has always been weak for me. My Max was either 245 or 255 but that was years ago. With a janky shoulder now, I'm no longer worried about hitting 315. Still in the 1000 lb club Tho

 

[Tres Leches]

Havent tried my 1 rep max in a while



I’m guessing it’s under 300 though maybe around 250-260

I can do 315x2 not really big into the flat bench....But I'd like to know how much you bros are overhead pressing it's a lot of value lost in not doing that exercise.

 

[Brolic]

Hit 315x10 2 years ago.
Now I can do 315 for 4-6 reps on a good day.

Working on getting my numbers up on the standing military.

Today I put up 155 for 2 reps.

My goal is reppin 2 plates.

My bench kinda sucks tbh. Maxed out at a couple of reps of 225, need to work on my dips and pullups more to build up my overall strength. Once I cut down to where I want, I'm gonna grind it out.

Im working my way up on OHP

Currently at 6xreps of 145

I super set it into bent over rows for 12reps

I bench on same day and can barely do 6xreps of 180

I think it's cuz I save it till the end of my work out when my upper body beat

 

[who_better_than_me]

Because I dont have to.

At my age trying to hit PRs does more harm than good. I've been working out for 20 years, if it hasn't happened yet, it probably wont.

Instead I focus on benchmark numbers

I want to be able to maintain
225 bench
405 DL
Dont have a squat number, I just want to do a back squat with good form

I dont do 5 days a week anymore. I also dont stress missing a workout.

You got a nigguh envious

Benching is overrated as fukk btw

 

[Brolic]

Bench Press is overrated. I don't do it. I mainly stick with the weight machines.

Benching is overrated as fukk btw

I noticed that every person who says this is weak af at benching
How much do yall bench?

 

[Neuromancer]

Me. Lifting like that doesn't really help in MMA fights.

 

[WaveWhisperer]

Recently went back to benching after a long while, this time around i dont sit up and my shoulder isnt hurtin like a mf afterwards. Still going light (130lbs) cuz i want to get my form down proper.
