Bodyweight Bench For Reps!

Admin

This challenge is to see how many times you can bench your bodyweight for reps.

Rules:
-Full ROM only. Chest to lockout.
-Touch and go style is ok.
-Glutes must be on the bench. No airborne ass.
-Weight of bar has to be MINIMUM of your bodyweight. If you weigh 177, no benching 175. Find fractional plates or round to 180.
-Test is how many bench reps you can get in one set. No racking. Pausing for breath is ok.
-Competition runs indefinitely.
 
i weigh in at between 77kg and 78kg, pushed 80kg x 10 last week, no worries haha will have another go this week
 
In... Was still fatigued from training the day before, was hoping for a few more still pleased though.

Did this yesterday, got 70kg x 14 @ BW 69.2kg no video though... Might have another go next week..
 
Did full ROM and bum on the bench, bench presses today as per [MENTION=1]Admin[/MENTION]; opening post.
Weighed in at 98kg. 15 reps on 100kg. Looking at the video it looks like I had a couple more in me...

So close to 20! Next time for sure.
 
well done Taurus, I can see you smashing 20 very soon.

well done vonframm, 27 is the standard.

Admin could you please put up a list in first post for those who provide video evidence of reps.
