How much you bench

[StrayBullets]

im 5' 9" and 135 and i can bench 140, not a lot compared to my weight but my legs are a lot stronger, i play soccer so i think thats pretty good

[qweeve]

Really? I thought it was your tricepts (the mucle below your bicept)

That would explain why she has rather large breasts.

Most common injury while bench pressing? Torn peck. Never happened to me, but I have seem it happen a few times. It isn't pretty.

What? I wasent talking about injuries.

[Nubli]

Worst thing about working out - stretch marks. Take weeks to go away. Whats funny is I've only ever seen them on my chest and shoulders o.O

I'm pretty sure it's your triceps and pecs.

Oh yes, I can do maybe 80 pounds.

I realize you weren't talking about injuries, but I was trying to show you what muscle is most used in bench press.

You never use one single muscle when working out. When benching, pecs are the dominant muscles. Biceps and Triceps only help a little bit with the balancing etc.

depending on where you grip the bar, triceps do just as much as pecs. and biceps do nothing on bench. the balancing comes from your shoulders(which also help with the lifting part) and some of your core muscles

[[The Reaper]]

Heh, I don't lift regularly, I'm 16, around 115 Ibs and can do 95. We're in the weight room now in gym for 2 weeks every other day.

Biceps and triceps are antagonistic muscles, meaning that they work together. It is impossible to train one and not the other. Changing the grip on the bar just means that You shift the stress from one muscle to another.

i do like hell 100 or so...i cant do shit....my damn girlfriend made a bet i could bench more then my geometry teacher....she made the bet with him...she has him second period....i have his first.....so she made the bet...im in 10th grade...and he mows lawns and works out after school....my girlfriend acually believed i could win...i run cross country so im a legs person...i weigh 130......and i hadda bench him and he wooped my ***...which is abvious....

[Deadlyy-Guy]

since everyone's throwing up leg press weights too i guess i'll throw up 1035 lbs before my knee gave out. i had to have 4 trainers at the gym spot me and the day i did it there were all kinds of hot chicks workin out so i looked like the ****ing hulk . oh and if you really wanna impress the ladies find about 4 or 5 really hot ones and tell them to sit on the leg press machine while your doing it.

oh and before anyone doubts that remember, i can do 700 regular squatting, and when you leg press you remove your own weight (which was 300) and there's not as much strain on your back. so all that combined is around 1000 lbs.

[Lux Aeterna]

This is the recreation of the thread I made when I first joined.

I used to bench over 300, with my kid older its only 260 or so now.

[FrogMan]

well i can leg press 840 no spot on leg press, also i hope that u guys who bench with a spot don't make the spotter do most of the work, i see plenty guys in gym stack like a 150kgs on the bench, and i see the spotter break more of a sweat than they guy doing bench.. lol

[Bloodangel26]

how do you spot leg press? its a machine....

[Deadlyy-Guy]

uh if you have 1035 lbs on a machine and you lose control of it and don't have people there to spot you will die... trust me there's nothing degrading about having spotters. and i always use a spotter on the bench but he knows to keep his hands at least 3 inches away from the bar unless i say something.

[Bloodangel26]

most leg press machines are set so they are physically unable to crush you....they have stoppers.
