Lol. My friend, he is like 5' or shorter probably, has a bunch of records from when he was in high school. He said he could probably get me benching 325 easy but thats not what I want. I am all natural and have stretch marks on both my shoulders, my left shoulder hurts sometimes and that worries me. I only max about once every six weeks and I am pretty steady around 285. I once got my weight up to 155 but during the summer I always loose weight from working on the farm, but only about 5 to 10 pounds in strength. But once school starts back up i hit the gym again and it all comes back.
I do chest shoulders back and traps MWF, with Friday being a fairly light day, just to work the soreness out And Legs calves bi;s and tri's T TH. I saw this in a mens fitness and really like it, alot. Oh and I almost never do abs. I might run once every six months, but not for very long. I start huffing and puffing and almost pass out I take NO xplode before workout and sometimes if I feel like it I will drink 3 scoops of Cyto Gainer after workout, but thats usually only once a week. I know if i got dedicated and drank my protien like I should, like I did in h.s., I could probably get big fast. The bars on the weekends don't help at all. after the weekend I feel small and shriveled. Alcohol sux when trying to maintain mass, for me anyways. I am a naturally skinny guy, with a high metabolism thanks to my mom and dad. I wrestled in HS and know how to manage weight but my junior year I decided I liked eating so i started working out and eating everything I could. I don't eat alot in one sitting, but i eat little meals all day. Actually I am hungry right now, wish an all night sushi place existed. Anyways I got carried away. Bravo if you read it all WD |

Quoted: Blew my shoulders. Getting over arthroscopic surgery in my right shoulder, getting ramped up for the same thing in my left in the near future.I weigh 148 and can bench 285. You? Doc and the therapists say my days of doing pushups, and military and bench presses are behind me. I'll be happy being able to put on a T-shirt in under 2 minutes again. Getting one off, OTOH, almost involves scissors. Take care of those shoulders, dude. You have no idea how much you can't do when they hurt. Almost everything but flexing your knees/toes involves the shoulders. Do all those stretching/warm-ups that you think can be skipped or cut short before/after your work out. I hope you have a long/happy life of workout progression.  |

The bench press the only thing that's important to you?
What about the other two big lifts/ I weigh 220 and bench 200 for two reps. Squat 315 for two reps. Deadlift 315 for two reps. Just started lifting this past April. I hope by this time next year my bench will be 250+ and squat/deadlift well be 405 while weighing at or under 200. |
| 190 and the BAR,haha,, I think I can bench like 250 or so, i'm kinda weak and plump these days. but hell four surgeries in 11 months, I guess thats not to bad, nut I can't run for shit or squat for craap no, surgeries were in the knees. man you need tohose things to work properly to get around good. |

Quoted: Im 160.. I run a 4.5 40 yard dash How much do you power clean? Squat? Deadlift? edit - nevermind saw your posts... so you dont deadlift, and you barely squat more than your max bench... might want to stop working on chest and work on other body parts. I had something clever to say about your post but then I say your name. I've heard about you. I've heard lots of things. Have a nice day.

I was waiting for that. I squat 350ish, I hate maxing on squat. And I don't deadlift, Don't like it. But yeah I am pretty proud of my 285 bench when I only weigh 148ish. Thanks! I would be proud of that also. I don't do bench press for chest I do flat DB presses and I use 90's and 100's for reps, and feel that is pretty good for weighing 190. Have you had someone knowledgee show you how to do deadlifts? The gym I lift at has a competitive powerlifter that trains there and he has given me quite a few pointers and changed my whole perception of how to do dead lifts. His method of course focuses on form, explosive force, and speed. I think that overall it has made me much stronger. Give em another try. |

I weigh 247lbs currently, I use 405 for sets of 3-5 reps. Don't really know current max, but I've entered a bench press comp so we will soon find out (raw lifts). You're a freak 
I'm 225 and did 315 for 9 last week but it's not a lift I work on. I did pull 405 for 18 reps on Monday though 
We gotta teach these young guys to deadlift! |

We gotta teach these young guys to deadlift! naw I'm just a fat guy who likes to lift heavy
405 for 18 on the deadlift? Good lord man, thats nuts. I cannot save I've ever trained my deadlift over 6-8 reps, but I did pull a 695 in 242lb class about 6 yrs ago(suited). I have been slacking on the deads lately though  , lower back has been giving me problems, guess I'll have to wash out my vagina and get with it
