How Much Ya Bench?

[wesleyinman]

Glad to hear you are pain free.

Let me know when you get 265 on incline. My incline bench is terrible. Haha.

I was thinking about getting those sleeves you mentioned for bench to use for overload training. If I remember correctly, you said you could get 30 pounds if you snugged them up real tight ?

Are you guys talking about the Inzer sleeves? I use them many training sessions as well bc my elbows are in pain all the time.

I'd say I prob. get a legit 10lbs to my numbers from the Inzer Sleeves. If I pop 800mgs of Ibuprofen an hour before and apply absorbine jr. horse linament and then wear these on my heavy lifts only..it actually allows me to do an entire heavy pressing session.

Yes. With mine, I could put on an extra 25lbs if they are torqued down.

315 RAW 855 wit a shirt! lol

No seriously, The most I have done is 365 for 4 no equipment at all. 5'9" 217 at the time. Fear of re-injuring my shoulder holds me back I think.

the most i've maxed is 325 but i havent attempted my max in years. i use WORKING SETS.
i dont compete and i dont intend to step on stage and i stopped measuring my dick when i was like 19.
AND I SQUAT MORE THAN I BENCH BITCHES! (on a bum knee too)

Daily. Scar tissue from years of heavy lifting. Plus I have a partial tendon tear in one that has not been repaired yet. This is from my training style which is definitely explosive compared to static. I can flat bench..at least 25lbs above my incline, but anything above 425lbs and I am in pain the rest of the day when I flat bench..so I generally will work with 405 for reps and not go higher when I flat. If my elbows cut the shit I think I can hit 5 this year under 220lbs, but I don't really flat bench much because besides the pain, it doesn't convert to Strongman at all really.

thank you very much for the kind words, much appreciated

And yes, there are some very awesome numbers in this thread. Kind of what I expected from a legit group of lifters though

Impressive numbers by everyone... Keep grinding...

My best, 365# 2 years ago (on my 50th birthday) My goal was to get to 400# by 55, but sore shoulders have kept me from any heavy lifting for the last year. I'm 5'10" and 240#
