meh…bench pressing is bench pressing, even though the “technique” is not the proper way, its still some nasty strength…my buddy weighs 180 and reps out 225 37 times…granted he’s a freak of nature, pound for pound the STRONGEST kid ive ever seen… ---

Yeah chest, back and shoulders is all I do well. My lower back is jacked up which prevents heavy legs. I have gotten away from maxing out because I have hurt myself in the past and can’t afford to do it again. (right wrist injury which resulted in some bruised ribs) It doesnt hurt that I have short arms 35" and a 60" chest \<-- is not small ---

Not going to lie, I could probably lift 225 3x at most on a good day, but I only weigh ~155. I am interested to see how many reps of 135 I can do though. I’m thinking over 30 at least. I’ll try it this week. ---

I’m thinking over 30 at least. I’ll try it this week. My bench sucks, I usually do 3 sets of 15 reps of 135 and STRUGGLE on the last set. I rarely straight bar bench though, usually use free weights instead 🙂 ---

I just benched 225 for the first time tonight… I didn’t even think I was going to get it since I’ve been stuck around 185-200 for a while now. I guess all those rotor cuff exercise paid off. anyway, it reminded me of this thread so bump! my goal next week, 3 reps… ---

God, I used to be able to hit 225 2-3 times. And that’s weighing in at 165 at a height of 6’4" fuck I need to start working out again. ---

I guess all those rotor cuff exercise paid off. anyway, it reminded me of this thread so bump! Really? I feel like the gap between 185 to 225 was the quickest one to complete. Once that 25 plate is on each side, it’s so much more inspiration to get up to 2 45 plates! Anyways 225 is a great number :tup: ---

FYI, I bet 90% of the posters here can’t bench 55 lbs 125 times in a row. 🙂 You can actually, just bench the bar. I bet you can’t do it 125 times in a row lol.
