Be honest, how much can you bench?

42 comments

1. 95 kgs for 2 reps, been trying to catch the 100 kg mark for a month now.

2. 7 adolescent elephants. Why do you ask?

3. 185lbs for 3 reps. My goal is to bench 225lbs for 3 reps by next summer.

4. When my shirt is off with a pump, i look like i can bench 350 easy. In reality…245? That number doesnt get you anything unless you are at a power lifting meet.

5. 5-10 pounds

6. 140 KG For 1 rep

7. all of them

8. Best I ever did was 225lbs for 2. Bench was always the hardest for me to improve at.

9. PR of 320×5, currently probably 295

10. 135 lbs. 4 sets of 5. Been working out for 7 years.

11. Hit a new PR a month ago.

    315 lbs – single rep

12. Got 325 up at the beginning of the year

13. The bar maybe? I’ve got weak shoulders from injuries as a child

14. 1RM is 200lbs but I’ve since plateaued. Advice welcome.

15. I can do the bar only just fine for about 5 reps.

16. Haven’t done it in months so it’s likely way low now but I was hitting 140 lb or so earlier this year. I admittedly have a pretty lazy personality so it was a big deal to see how quickly I hit that weight for the bench press, may be small fries to everyone else but I’m proud of it

17. i follow my boy brad castleberry and rep out stacks and stacks of weights. Im so strong now it’s like those weights don’t even weigh anything it’s like they’re made out of foam they’re so light and easy for me to lift.

18. If the stars were aligned tmr 255. Any other day 235. 5’6 159lbs

19. 45 years old, might get 225. 10 years ago, 400. Desk job and kids will put the kabosh on your body.

20. 2 40lbs dumbells is my limit.

21. Not sure what my max is but I’m guessing around 135? I can bench 4 sets of 6 reps with 60lb dumbbells. Tomorrow is bench day so I’ll try maxing for shits and giggles.

22. 40 KG

23. 16 oz Coors

24. Like 130 is all but i can do it 5x

    Also i just started doing anything besides bodyweight exercises like 6 months ago and I’m old

25. I weigh 70kg and I have indeed sat on a bench before.

26. 2 sets of 248lbs x 7 reps. Plus a warm up and cool down set.

    I am annoyed there’s no easy way to just add 2 lbs on the bench press at my gym.

27. A humble 90 kgs for 5. Pushing for 100, hopefully next month.

28. I refuse to bench since I’m a star player

29. 135 5x, t-Rex Arms unfortunately

30. A pretty well loaded taco bell bag…….with a shit ton of sauce!!

31. 315! Just hit it today for the first time in a long time.

32. Why are you all doing so few reps? I’m at like 120lb for three sets of 12.

33. My dog weighs at least 17 lbs so I do 1 rep of that every morning not to brag

34. Just did 195lbs for 3 reps today! Aiming for 225lbs by spring of next year as well as to lower overall body fat %

35. 115 x 1 rep, started working out sometime in june I believe my max bench back then was 65-75 cant remember

36. I’m female and I can do 140 😬

37. 325 lbs at 155lbs and 5’7”! I also have a video of it as proof!

38. 330 pounds. Pause, no arch. Been working out for over a decade though.

39. 4 reps of 245lbs

40. Two marshmallows on a stick

41. Less than most of you guys, apparently

42. Idk what my max is, but I’m doing 50lbs dumbbells for 10 reps now, when I started in March I was at 35lbs dumbbells!
