How much can you bench.


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 )
 
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.
 
Thanks boys not really a pb. I hit three plates aside a couple years ago before I buggered my shoulder but fuck it I'm claiming it anyway. It's a cripple pb lol
 
As much as I can squat now...

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.

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

Thanks Brick, wingman and Freako
