Maxed out yesterday and got up to 95lbs! Wondering what other women are benching!

    I've never tried to max out, and I'm pretty new to lifting, I can do 3 sets of 8-10 reps of 65 right now.

    Honestly there not too many reason to max out on any lifts. I do because I want to know what my maxes are.

    I'd look into this thread and participate in it vs making a new one. Or risk having to sort though a bunch of replies that are OT to your question.

    Nice bench though! Congrats

    congrats on your max out :)

    don't worry about what other women are benching- just focus on you.

    Bench 150 for 15reps right now. My numbers way down from two years ago. Maybe a 205 or 215 max. Sad because I was at 300
