**LgndKller20073** · 11-06-2008, 08:01 PM

my enraged and pissed off bench i maxxed at 375....but most of the time I do reps of 8 at 250 on the flat bench.

My best ever was 345 when I weighed 172. I'm about 185 now but my shoulder will not take what it used to.

damn man. very strong bench

**kickflippin1** · 11-06-2008, 08:11 PM

I maxed at 210 (1 rep), and i weighed 150 in 11th grade. I'm about 160 now and i haven't been to the gym in about 8-10 months. Most i ever weighed was 183 almost 2 years ago, but i dont hit the gym like i used to.

i bench your mom!

haha, just kidding. actually, i have no idea how much i bench, because i don't have a bench to do it...i just work with the hand dumbbells. my oldest brother does reps with 365 i believe.

Most I ever go was 400 2 times. Hurt my shoulder a couple of years ago and haven't gone that heavy in a while.

I'm a mechanic and we worry more about max torque with out a breaker bar. but most ever was 315, not in good shape anymore so I figure I'm down to 245.

**JoshieDoom** · 11-07-2008, 02:40 AM

Right now.. 45.. LOL.

got bitten by a spider and had all kinds of injections etc..

**cant.b.caught.z28** · 11-09-2008, 11:55 AM

**whoa guy** · 11-09-2008, 12:27 PM

yeah, short arms will make things easier. The bar has less mechanical advantage on a short arm.

that one guy was like 21 or so...and was a beast...i don't know how he was that big at 21, he must have lived in the gym.

**310stanger** · 11-09-2008, 12:52 PM

I think one of our guys, hes in his early 20's hes a monster but way more athletic and cut then the europeans. They make him look small. Kevin Nee is his name.
