How many reps can you BP your own bodyweight? - Page 4

**Trick D** · 05-08-2007, 07:04 PM

It will go up bro... Many say the real test of strength is how many times you can get your own weight... It always was impressive for me to do it as many times... but I was always about the big number...

i actually tried this the other week.

i did 205 (my morning weight is 198) on pause bench for 10 reps.

Monday I FINALLY maxed out @ 185 flat bench at a morning weight of 183. So I can now get my bodyweight once. Yay.

It's still rather pitiful, but I've come far in 10 months.

I lost some weight, so its easier now, but I can do 10 at 180 fairly easily I think.

I've yet to enter a gym that allows cameras... if I find one after I get bw x 20, I'll post a vid, but I can't guarantee. The numbers in my log are real though, and I trust yours are as well, so that's all that matters to me. I've got 5 more weeks of dieting to go, then I'm going to start focusing on strength more, so you've got a head start if you want it

BigWeighter · 10-05-2007, 10:47 AM

yeah my stats are legit. but we'll trust each other to reach 20
