That's pretty damn impressive. What's your weight if you don't mind me asking?
208 today0 -
Not enough. 135lbs paused single.0

My joints are a mess thanks to a childhood spent doing lots of manual labor (thanks, dad) so I've made it a rule to never lift anything heavier than my body weight. As a result, I look a lot stronger than I actually am, which is neither good nor bad, IMO.0

Look at all these overachievers! 65lbs here. (But then, I started recently and have gone up from 45 pretty steadily!)0

My max with full commands/paused is 65kg/143lbs, both in competition (IPF) and in the gym. My max touch & go (no pause, in the gym only) is 70kg/154lbs.0

205kg/452lbs USAPL @ 268lbs BW
Go me!0 -
with a double rotator tear, not so much, 100lbs is about as far as I can go right now.0

"Back in my day I used to bench 405" But you only see me bench 265 in the gym.0

Step your game up for you, not for anybody else's number.
I know, I have been working on my overall upper body strength for quite some time. It's definitely my weakness0 -
I've been working on increasing reps at 75 lb (can do 8 consistently, 10 on occasion) rather than going up. It's always humbling, although not as humbling as press, heh.0

I55# paused for sure
pretty sure 165 as well- but it's been a while
185# solid Tc'NGo0 -
Only 37.5kg 82.5lb slowly creeping it's way up from the 5kg db started with a year ago.0

Sets of 8 @ 120lbs. Too bad my squat isn't as nice.0

185lbs 1RM, parallel bar dip x6-8 with 35lb plate0

I haven't benched in over 2 years, I did 265lbs. I'm likely still very close to that number. A far cry from what I put up in my 20's0

I haven't benched hard in several years and the advice from my doctor regarding my shoulders is "when you hear that bad pop, don't do it any more!"
So right now, I'd say I'd be lucky to bench much more than my weight. Even when I was a young buck, getting up to my body weight was quick, after that the effort paid off slower. I think the most I ever hit was about 75 pounds over body weight.
Though my body weight is lighter today, I wouldn't shoot for that 275 without practicing the "roll of shame" with less weight and multiple reps.
Good job everybody, some beasts and some in the making here.0 -

Well, I went to check my bodyspace account cause i wasn't sure what my 1RM was. Took a 4-5 week hiatus from lifting and exercising in general at the tail end of 2015 due to personal issues. Glad to be back though!
Current 1RM is 247.0 -
Doing each exercise with correct form trumps any load you can put on the bar. Bad form can cause injury to one self besides the ego.0
