I can do 140 for 8 reps. And I only wiegh about 120 so thats pretty good for my size. TC: Do you mean 55 on each side of the bar (usally 45 pounds), I don't really understand what you mean.
I last maxed out at 325, which was quite some time ago. I haven't cared to try again. I lift 250 pounds, three sets of eight for track season (I throw the shot put and the discus).

TC: Do you mean 55 on each side of the bar (usally 45 pounds), I don't really understand what you mean. I believe he's talking about the dumbell bench press, with free weights. It's quite a bit more difficult than lifting with a bar.

Its been a while since ive maxed one rep, but last week I did 345 lb four times.
As for dumbbell, Idunno...I dont push myself too hard but I can rep out 110 (220 combined) pretty good (thats as high as the weights at the gym go :( )
of course, I weigh 360 pounds so thats not as impressive as some of you 180 lb folks pushing in excess of 240 lb.
305lbs last year , when I was hitting weights 5 days a week ... About 250lbs now mostly due to my diet slipping and a lot more cardio . Anyone a memebr at bb.com ? -- post up you bodyspace .
your HUGE! i think i only have ever pressed 100kg once :( 1x one rep:P
If by huge, you mean pendulous beer gut, then yes, I'm MASSIVE!
Anyway, it's not difficult. Just work your way up. I didn't start going to a gym until I was 26 and teaching in Poland. Worked my way up from 55 kilo sets to 100 in less than 3 months. Granted, I think I'm genetically disposed towards muscle mass but anyone can see almost immediate gain from weight training.
I don't workout...but during my time when I was in the weight training class I was able to do 190 but I probably could have gone up if I stayed longer.
I did 320 lbs 2 years ago, these days, I'm not sure. I haven't truly maxed out in a long time because I haven't been in the right mental state to do it. I looked through my logs yesterday and with the weights I was using I could have potentially done 340-350 lbs, but these days I'm doing less.
[QUOTE="Mr_Buttman"]I can bench a little over 250 pounds, but i only weigh 150. My all-time goal (I hope) is to double my weight and get 300.Devour2Survive
And snap your arm? i know this asain guy who can do that (weighs 150lbs, can max 1 rep of 300lbs).

No he won't :roll:. The only way that will happen is if he goes up drastically to a weight he knows he can't lift and has a very bad spotter. It could also happen if he had very poor form, but if he's all ready benching 250 I'm pretty sure he's learned proper form.
Got a bench in the summer, then broke my collarbone so I haven't used it in a few months. I'm a pretty scrawny guy, so I only bothered buying 50 kilos of weights. I could only do 20 reps.
