Meh, I don’t max bench, no real use in getting 1 rep in… I don’t need to mass up really, I need to tone and cut, reps = that. I switched it up a long while ago - lots and lots of reps…

Try doing 55lbs x 100 bench. And maybe meathead can lift big once, but if you can do 100 of even the bar (45lbs) in one sitting, that’s more impressive that throwing a 300 lb bar up.

I maxxed out a long while ago - i think a have a phone pic… I think i did 345lbs x 2. I have not tried since… but I feel as if i probably won’t be able to lift too much more than that. I’m focusing mainly on losing weight, so again the high reps thing is awesome.
