Master Of Puppets

the reason i ask is because i bench like 80 pounds, and that just doesn't seem like enough... maybe i'm just really, really weak, but it just doesn't seem right...

muscleboy333

Olympic bars are generally 45 lbs.

Master Of Puppets

i dunno if it's an olympic bar... could you give me a length/ diameter? that would help a lot...

muscleboy333

Usually something like 2.2 metres long, 20-25 mm diameter.

BIGlouie

wow, this forum has more features than bodybuilding.com lol. my "big 3" are bench 165 x 1 squat 235 lbs x 1 and deadlift 255 x 1 (prob could do more

Aftershock

I hit 165x1

haha sorry i just never got to be the heaviest bencher in a thread before.

Master Of Puppets

i don't know what my max is, because i don't have a spotter. i normally do 125x 8, which still isn't much, but my max would be higher than 125. it's cool you can bench that much when you're 14 or 15.

Jon789

Yah, you guys will get better. Me=Bench 315, Squat 335, and Deadlift 345.

craig57

whoa crap big numbers lol got any pics of your lifts? its not that i dont believe you but it would be very inspirational

I'm glad we have a board where people are actually honest about their lifts.
Mine,
Bench: 230
Squat: 385
Deadlift: 365

My chest is lagging in strength I know, but it looks good

muscleboy333

:o

I'm at something like:

Bench: 138
Squat: 225
Deads: 210

craig57

nah a 230 bench is very good, i know its the hardest of the big 3 to go up in weight, and most people on this board know that benching isnt a very good exercise so its not as important
