How much you bench
#21
9-17-2004.

Why even bring up that the thread existed when it ended over a year ago?

Oh, and I have no idea how much I bench. I don't have any weights for my weight set, so I can't really give a number.

actually its about 170 pds. nice try though

young, i dont know, 260 to 300 is an awful big jump...especially if you havent done it in a while, dont hurt yourself

Yeah, even 10 pounds can make a huge differance. You can go from doing 15 reps no problem to choking yourself with the bar.

OH And MY Legs are massive i can do like 600

You're 16 and You could do 250? I smell something... Bullshit. Unless You manage to prove to me that You are the Hulk. 250 pounds is 115 KG.

I would'nt be suprised, there is a girl at our school who looks like the average person, her arms arent big or anything, she wieghs I'm guessing ~130. But she benches like 190. Screwed up huh?

And the way I see it, if somone has to lie on the internet to people he will probably never meet face to face just so that he can feel better about himself, then in the end he cannot be brought down any more by critisism. Not saying Immortal is lieing.

115 KG is another thing. Oh, and You don't bench with Your arms, but with Pecs (**** in girls' case). Arms play a minor role.

wow i thought i was tough =/ im 15 and if i've eaten well a few hours before benching i can do 135 about 6X full pressing (touching the chest and back up full extention) (im like 190 or more centimeters, 160-170 pounds, havent checked recently) i do it 10X if im at like 10 cm from chest. i look really skinny and its funny cuz im much stronger than most weaklings in my school who take me for granted. Latest remark was my gym teacher saying 135 was too heavy and i shouldnt do it... these Canadian schools are building weaklings. And one question, whats the Usualy weight of a BP bar? i heard 45pds but i wanna make sure.

and thanks to whoever started this thread u've just motivated me to Re-Start training

umm its usually 45 or 15.. u can tell, depending on how easily u can lift it.. and your gym teachers SHOULD know the weights.

I'm 6'1", 150ish pounds, and I haven't the slightest idea how much i can bench. The last time I did it was in gym during 8th grade. But if it helps my cause, I can do a several full body push-ups (I think that's what theyre called) with no problems.

Walking to school and back is almost enough excersize for me.

That would explain why she has rather large breasts.

Don't know what I can do now, but my best was 435lb bench at 260lbs at a meet about 15 or 16 years ago. But that was with a double layer denim bench shirt, so probably around 400 without the shirt.

6'2" @ 180 lbs - Can lift at least 100lbs.

No upper body strength, it all ran south to my legs!

I could leg press about 300lbs 10 times 2 years ago, haven't tried recently. Leg muscle has gotten quite a bit smaller due to the fact that I don't play soccer anymore (or any sports for that matter.) Sad
