    Healing from tendinitis in both shoulders. But did sets of 120lbs last week and was pretty happy with that progress.

    I'm a 147lb tank and I can only bench 115. I'm seriously about to give up on this lift. JK. Would never give up but I'm close to punching someone in the face every time I go an AMRAP session and can't raise my training max.

    Low 40s. My progress is slow. But it's far more than I used to be able to do.

    I weigh 151 lbs. and have a poverty bench press of 115 lbs. lol (and I compete :neutral: ). There is a competitor in the 63kg weight class that benches over 300 lbs! I did a little research and found out she's been benching over 20 years. It takes many, many years to build up that kind of strength. Most women don't have as much upper body strength vs. lower body strength. Thank God I can deadlift over 300 lbs. otherwise I probably wouldn't keep competing

    Never tried 1RM but I'm stuck at 85lbs, can't seem to get past it but I'm on a cut . . .

    I do my sets using 80-85 lbs. My estimated 1 rep max would be close to 110 lbs.

    I tested a 1rm at 115 in the fall, but haven't retested since...my working sets are 100, 105, then doubles of 110.

    Never enough.

    1rm in the gym is 97.5. Bar speeds recently though point to maybe finally breaking through the 100 mark.

    Nothing yet, just started lifting about a month ago. My trainer has me on machines and a few dumbbell exercises right now. We will be changing it up some this week maybe bench press is going to be part of the new routine.

    Last time I tested 1RM was a few cycles ago and was 120lbs. My new training max will move up to 123 this week, so I would assume it has gone up since then

    I'm gonna add that this is in kg, not lb.

    Last good attempt in competition was 52.5 kg. I could have gone for 55 kg, but stayed conservative. I'm aiming for 60 kg for August.

    Current 1RM is 175lbs with a body weight of 155lbs. I'm really trying to work my way up to 185lbs :smile:
