How much can you bench.

hahaha

That's a good question.

That would put him ahead of Laurie Butler equipped in the 82.5s, which I find unlikely.

Chucky at ESP is the only other one I can think of that would go close, and as OPO don't keep records anywhere on the interwebz impossible to know

Laurie has pulled 315kg in the 82.5s which I believe to be the all time Australian 82.5kg deadlift record (hopefully not for too much longer )

That's damn admirable, ain't it.

Tonight 120kg 3 reps,then 130kg 3 reps,140kg 3 reps,150kg 1 rep and then 160kg 1 rep.All done properly,touch chest and full lock out.
This is after 3x8 sets of 85kg.
Hopefully with more training will push 170kg easy.

a pathetic 78kg for 5 sets of 5-6 reps. and that was a hard 5 sets. i'm aiming for 100kg for 5 sets of 5-6 reps by the end of the year. i think if i progress gradually going up by small increments i can get there and maybe even further.

i did a reset on some of my weights.

Laurie Butler pulled 290kg at 82.5kg on 23/3/2002 at 55 years old

Pulled 347.5kg at 90kg on 1/8/1993 at 46 years old

Laurie still competes and in the words of Adam Coe was/is Australia's greatest powerlifter.

The guy is a legend and at 65 years old would outlift most of the people on this forum.

I'm at almost exactly the same level, with basically the same goal as well. Good luck! Hope we both get that mythical 100kg before 1/1/13.

One thing that I have noticed about big benchers is that the majority of them do bodybuilding type training. Even the small females who do are not really that large will do bodybuilding training after their normal strength work

Today I benched 3x80kg. Not overly impressive around here, but it is a PR for me.

ETA: And I'm 23, going on 24 in September.

A PR is a PR man. Fuck what anyone else says.

A PB is a PB, you don't need to compare against anyone else if you're not competing.

Fuck I still remember how stoked I was when I benched 60 fuck I felt like an animal using the big boy plates.

Haha, yeah, I remember that same feeling on my first 60kg bench press.

Thanks Brick, wingman and Freako
