How Much Ya Bench?

[FLEXjs]

My bench sucks.

Best lifetime was 350 x 1 twenty years ago at age 26.

I got 325 x 1 in November at age 46.

Dreaming of a 365 bench; not sure it will ever happen, but we don't attain what we don't reach for...









Can't we talk about squats now?

No hahah

360 for a triple with a pause on each rep. Blasted them out too. This was during a peak for a meet two weeks later. Blew out an adductor on my opening squat so I never got to bench. Probably would have gone 400 to 410 on 3rd attempt.

Some big numbers in here....

5'11
195
48 yrs old

345x1 about a month ago with wrist straps.

Little nervous doing max because I don't want an injury. Was in the mood to try though.

I wouldn't feel to bad. When I got the 325 for 8 it was probably three years ago and six months ago I could only do 315 for 7. I've gone nowhere but down in the last 3 years.

Correction to my post, that lift wasn't raw. I had wrist straps.

That is considered raw in most Feds.

Am 216 and can only bench 264 for 2 :/

I haven't done any strength based work, always doing tempo based training for hypertrophy now. Last time I checked was when I was about 25 and I got 300lb at about 190lb.

I'm 30 now and I don't really bench much any more.

I'm a bodybuilder but in my twenties I was bulked up to my heaviest ever weight ( just shy of 280 ) at that time I hit 485 for a single in the gym . After that time I mainly treated incline as my big power exercise where I would get reps with 405 at a BW of 230lb .
