the burgundy and gold Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 today i was working out and i set a career high on the bench press, that obviously got me pretty pumped. But it also made me wonder what some of you guys do. What is your best you've ever done when you were in your "prime" and how much are you hitting now?

PleaseBlitz Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 Prime: 275 4 times. Now: I dont max, I can still set 225 (most of the time). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Weirdo Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 This is funny. I probably cant even bench press the bar 5 times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach Williams Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 Rather than post my weight and how much I lifted I'll just say a can bench 130% of my weight......Squat=168% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syl58 Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 make sure to change your routines up because your body will get used to it and then will plateau. Also, rest is important, dont bench every day...... junior year in hs bench max 265 now......250? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whtchink Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 Got 350 last week but my body feels like its about to fall apart afterwards. Trying to get to the 400 club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander PK Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 I'll let you know next week. Monday I'm maxing out for the first time since last fall. I plan to try 350. If I get it, I'm not going to be sober Monday night. Would be my lifetime best. I've never been as strong as I am right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got started into lifting weights only about 1 year ago or so, so do not know a lot about it. I know about resting and such, but still a little off in other areas.

E-Dog Night Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 Did you ever see that movie Star Wars? About four times. People tell me I look like Han Solo. Really? What do you bench? You tell first. I asked you first. Same time. Cool. Are you ready? Ready. One... two... three... ............. You didn't say anything. Neither did you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SackMachine Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 I can bench about 500 pounds, of course that only happens when the skins lose. Because then I get angry, and become green. Sometimes i become red and fart. That's kind of awkward. I got a bench press 4 years ago. And I lift... well that's for me to know, and people who are *******s to find out :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know about resting and such, but still a little off in other areas. for a lot of people, when you have a routine like 4 sets of 10, after a while you get less sore and dont get as much out of it because somehow your body has gotten used to it. that is when you change it up to something like pyramids (10,8,6,4) or something else to gain a little more. There were times in HS where my max wouldnt go up for like 5 months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt Rich Fla Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 Got 350 last week but my body feels like its about to fall apart afterwards. Trying to get to the 400 club.No sweat. do a routine called burning. Put no weights on the bar, lift till you drop. do this for three sets. skip a day or two then go heavy for three sets. you'll need to skip a day or two to let the muscles heal cause your actually tearing the muscle fiber with burns. Increase your red meat intake (witch contains amino acid) which is the protien that repairs torn muscle fiber. It fills in the torn area with new muscle fibers. (hence bigger, stronger muscles) You'll be shocked how fast you reach 400 and beyond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get a dip-belt and do weighted Dips. -- As soon as I did this, my press max jumped 50+ lbs. I got to dipping my weight + 90lbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
