[poopnut2]

255lbs bench, only like 225 squat. My legs WERE like pencils in highschool. I weighed 165. My legs have finally filled out and I work out with 275 on squats now. Not sure what my maxes are. I don't really care.

[Shorty]

Back in September playing around during a "take some weight" day I did 405 with a belt and knee wraps. Nowadays I've been hitting 385+ pretty regularly on max effort squat days off a box so I could squat more, just haven't bother with circa max work and a legit max because I haven't competed.

[GRAYHORSE]

well, back in my HS days i could lift jupiter.

Now im hoping for 435 @ 181lbs. :cool:

[White_lightning]

one day i will bench heavy.. with lots of hard work and dedication...
:)

[deso]

I'm benchin 200 right now at 140 :rolleyes:

[01WhiteCobra]

I'm benching about 275 at 175 currently.

But I can also sustain over 900 watts over a 10 mile time trial on my bike. :D

[Da Prez]

best was back in 10th grade, i was maxing out at 505, and squating right around 900, 14yrs later i can bench 405, and no telling on squat since i dont do them anymore, i blew out a knee in high school...

[Geronimo]

one day i will bench heavy.. with lots of hard work and dedication...

yeah i tore my rotater cuf..doin bench it finally healed but still gotta watch it...

[White_lightning]

[1985GT]

dang, some strong bastards in here... I was 6'2" 225 and my best was 285 in 10th grade. I broke my wrist as a jr. and have had trouble with bench and pushups since then. My best was always military press. I was winning competitions in 7th grade lifting 140-150. I do reps with that weight now, but for a 13yo thats pretty good.

[Ronin6135]

When i was in high school I weighed around 240-250 and only benched 225. Last semester before my knee injury, I was doing 325 for 5 sets or so. Last week I finally got back to the 300 mark, but my main concern now is weight loss and cardio. Anyone remember what they did in 7th grade, I remember my first bench in football was a whopping 70 pounds, hell i do more than that with one dumbbell now. I was weak as shit.

[1985GT]

my first bench in 7th grade was 135. I got the big plates up on the first try. Hell yea!!!

365, 6 times raw is way more impressive than curling 65lb dumbells 5 times.

Nice.

[tjmon1]

I can bench 330 as of 6 months ago. Squat was 405 around that time. Bench has gone up since then, squat has gone down due to a grade 3 ankle spain. I weighed 180 at the time at 5'10"-no juice just HST training and eating 6 times a day.

With those lifts there's really no need to clarify that you're clean.

[gethemified426]

either dfwstangs has a high population of beasts or some people like to inflate the truth. Im a skinny ass mofo started working out at 118lbs bodyweight 7 months ago now 140. can bench 135 4 times. i'll take any advice. goals are to weigh 160-170 and workout with 175 on bench. Bad genetics for me.

With over 10,000 members I wouldn't say it was a high population of beasts. But yea, there is some inflation I'm sure (the internet adds 50 lbs to your bench).

160-170, if you aren't 8 foot tall... you should be shooting for at least 250-275 on your bench. I'm at about a 275 max and I'm 175 at 6' 1" and I don't lift like some of these guys do.

I had a grade 3 on my achilles tendon. Had surgery back in October.

I'm benching 275 at 6' 1" and 175 lbs. Squat... most likely close to 400 (I'm all legs). Plus I can run a marathon backwards. :D

No juice, not HST and I lift a maximum of 2x a week.

Keep pushin' man, 175 isn't a bad starter weight (for reps), but you've got a long way grow. I remember the days of wanting to push up 225 on bench and 315 on squats, thinking I'd never get there, and I'm well beyond that now. Growing and strength take time. Not that you will keep up that kind of growth, but 3lbs of lean mass a month is decent good progress.

Bullshit aside, I can't give a solid max, as I haven't done a ORM in years, but there's nothing special about my training other than 10+ years of experience. My best lifts to date are 315lbs for 4 sets of 5 on bench, 265lbs for 4 sets of 5 on military press, and 4 sets of 495lbs for 8 on squat. 5'10" and 205lbs.

On the 5th set the numbers usually look something like this:

Squat - 315(Smith) 2 - 5 reps
Leg Press - 730 x 6 to 8 reps
Bench - 235 x 2-3 reps (working on it )

I weigh between 168 and 170,

I'm glad that my "back in the day" weight is right now at the ripe old age of 30. :D

[Tyrone Biggums]

Wow. Some of the replies in here are so believable.

I don't have a max bench yet. I work out at home, so I don't have a spotter. I've been lifting with free weights for 4 months now and a Bowflex for 5 months before that. I started out a 5'10" 215lb fatass with no prior weight training other than what was required in soccer my junior year in high school and back then I probably weighed a buck fifty and could bench 145. Now, three months from turning 30, I weigh 165. Part of today's workout was chest. On flat bench, four sets of 8, I did 95, 115, and two sets of 135. After the rest of my workout to squeeze a little more burn into my chest, I laid back down and did 165 four times, praying I wouldn't have to slide plates off onto the floor to bail myself out. My entire goal is to be in the best shape of my life on my 30th birthday, because I was in the worst shape of my life on my 29th.

[gethemified426]

Just stick with it. Work hard, eat right, and be patient. Everyone has to start somewhere, so if you have questions, just ask. There are a couple of guys in here that have given me some real solid help. Educate yourself as much as possible. I've also found some good cheap info at 1/2 Price Books and a ton of free info on bodybuilding.com.
