This is such a typically disorganised thread.

Why not set some rules, otherwise everyone is comparing apples with pears.

Weight - quote it in KG's. Convert it if u don't know it.

Weight u can lift. Count the TOTAL weight, cos guess what, u lift the bar too. Olympic bars weigh 20kgs. Add the weights both side and the 20kg bar.

You need to decide the number of reps and sets that u are comparing.

IMO u should compare one rep max as everything else has too many variables.

Competing powerlifters don't compare how many reps they can do.

One rep max.

ME:

Weight: 88kg
Best bench for 1 rep: 105kg

Harry.

120kg bench at 74kg weight. For reference, I'm 5'10" and never do any leg exercises so I'm not carrying extra weight in that region.

Edit: 120kg is my one rep max, but I can 'comfortably' do sets of 8 x 100 for example.

Just read the rest of the thread; impressive:

i weigh 98kg and bench with an (olympic) bar. currently doing 6 sets of 6 reps at 115kg total (inc bar).
obviously much much better to use dumbells (range of motion and core stability) but difficult to lift them on myself to start reps whilst on my own in my garage!

been going to the gym for 3 weeks but was in half decent shape to start with
and im currently doing 4 or 5 sets of 8 at 100kg inc the bar, im about 83kg
total 1 lift only i would say ~130

nickywarwick

in that case im around 11.5 st 72kgs, 6ft 1. i do 3 or 4 sets of 10 reps with 65kgs, around 80kgs inc bar.

my 1 lift max id say 100kgs but ill find out tmoro as never realy do 1 lift max's tbh.

fuzzy

when i started weights i was 10.5 stone and 5.11 and struggling to benchpress 50-60kg and excessivly thin imo. 2 years later i was 14.5 stone and bench pressing 102.5kg with all 20 plates + 10kg plate on the pin on the resistance pec dec etc.i couldnt get beyond that level though once my right hand man stopped going to the gym with me. the fight pushing me on to better him wasnt there and i ended up stopping going. 8 years on since i last lifted a weight im sitting on 14 stone but you can still see the form that tells i used to lift weights.i concentrated mainly on arms and upper body.
i really would like to get back into it but im just to fucking lazy these days

Can people add if thats on roids or not.

I'm 6ft/75kg and bench(wide grip) 42kg, 6 sets, 12 reps.

Max single lift....whats that all about,lol. I not bodybuilding so i never do any single lifts and/or to failure.

fuzzy

depends what your aiming for. id say your routine is more for tone and definition . to build up and bulk up, less reps, less sets and more weight is required.

trevorcossie

i am 15 stone .no fat and can lift a pint of stella on one arm and mcoys on the other ......miller can vouch for this as i met him at brands hatch the other day

Mr Brannen

Ok then I could push one out at maybe 140k, I weigh 90 kilos.

nickywarwick

no roids for me. just high protein shakes. im going for tone more than anything but i like ushing myself so will end up bulking.

Roughly same as me fella, just changed to reverse grip on flat bench getting a good 5 at 115kg, hopefully this will aid me on normal grip as i felt i had hit a wall, also training day on day off, before i was 4 on 1 off.

When i was at my peak,136 kg 21 st 5 i think,i was doing 220kg my best was 9 reps so a single lift a fair bit more!!!havent lifted for 2 and half years so a while ago..

Pardeep

10 stone and bench 60kg

Getting into MMA soon so need to up my game. Caveman training will be intense

DaveEscos

Weigh 90 kg bench 120kg

paul0461

i weigh 70kgs and regularly bench 80kgs. but always train on 60kgs as i get more reps.

cheeky dog

I weigh 67 kg and lift 35 kg each side dumbells, only 6 reps while a mate assists the last 2 making it 8 reps. I'll admit i ONLY train for looks, the stregnth is a by product but doesn't bother me in the slightest, i've been doing boxing for years now so can throw a punch or 2. Dont know if the body builders classify what i do as lifting but i've managed to put on 5kg in 3 weeks and eating 6 calculated meals a day 7 days a week 99%, of the mass is deffo muscle as my abs have not faded and waist has stayed the same. No supliments, no clenbuterol.

im 18 stone 5 foot 11 and dont take roids
i can lift myself out of bed in a morning lol
not lifted weights for years but thinking of getting back into it i lifted 60 kilo plus the bar from the floor to over my head twice at age 15 (dont know technical term for that type of lifting as ive never been gym!)
i was impressed at the time but wouldnt have a clue wether thats actually impressive or not lol!

dream on prick!!!..why would i lie???...your more than welcome to join me in the gym for a lesson mate.

Coldo

Come on Mat, i wasn't singling anyone out in particular, definately not you as i've read that you train(ed) etc...

But some of these lads claiming to know a polish guy who benches 340, or the ones that are 74kg and rep out 130, that is rare - if you believed everyone here then why are gyms not full of lads banging out 100kg+ for reps??

Anyone lifting over 100kg on a barbell (NOT smith machine!) is doing very well, imo.

alxf

Am with you on this, I have been training hard for years and very rarely do you see guys throwing 3 sets of 10 @ 100kgs on the bench . Am sure there are some of you's that do. Some PICS of uper torso would prove who's at the telling tails.
