Poverty bench/10 checking in1

I bench a 16 oz coffee cup. On the days I feel ambitious, I might make it a 32 oz measuring cup full of coffee. That is all.2

40Kg, but working for more.0

My PB is 115 lbs for 7 reps. Never tried to max out 1RM.0

A big, strong, young'ish bloke I would guess?
My most recent AMRAP tests were 7 x 100kg and 3 x 105kg.
I'm not big and certainly not young'ish! (76kg and age 57.)2 -

Forgot to put my stats. I'm 32, male, 5'7" and 141 lbs. I was bigger when I benched that. Now I'd be lucky to manage 10 reps with 100 lbs.0 -
35yo 127 lb female, 1RM is 115 lbs, but I don't train bench specifically as I'm more concerned with being awesome at OCRs.1

I'm benching today. Last week, I did 1x8@95, 1x8@100, 1x7@105. I'm starting at 105 today.
Once, I benched 135 at bw of 135 for 4 singles. That was a great day.2 -

It is. Usually when someone has a higher incline, it's something injury related, or their flat bench form is just terrible.1 -
I have a poverty bench of 110 lbs. Actually I've been told being 58 years old and only having 9 months of competitive powerlifting under my belt, that's not too bad lol. I haven't seen many lifters my age that bench more than that. My max "board press" is 120 lbs.2

I workout at home so the max weight I have is 205 lbs. I did one rep of that at around a measly 135 lbs., 5'8, about 8% body fat or so, medium grip. I'll be at that weight soon, again. I'll try it again once I'm leaner to see if I can still do that. I wanted to try for two, but didn't want to decapitate myself.1

I can hit 205 for 8. I'll max out in a few weeks.
The true strength factor here would be pound for pound. It's the only real calculation for "who benches the most?"1 -
PR is 265x1 One day I'll hit 3 plates. One day.1
-
Not enough obviously to be in this contest.2
-
I bench enough to win a free teddy bear lol
Seriously though, mine isn't horrible but could be heavier.0 -
@215lbs bodyweight hit 265 for 4x4 last week. Dont have a spotter so I rarley max. Been on a cut for 3 weeks and aiming to hit 200lbs flat by the end so I expect this number to temporarily decline.

I typically bench the earth for about 45-60 reps....I mean I guess you can call them push-ups, but whatever.3
-
Did last night 205 5 sets of 6 reps is that good ?2

350 incline, 390 flat bench. 3 years out of total RC surgery. It's coming back though. Plus I'm old.3

Current PR is 205 lbs for 2 reps. Still seeking that 2 plate bench.
Of course, then comes the quest for 275 and 315. Keep on moving that weight.

The never ending journey, I hear that!0 -
335 paused 1RM at 198lbs.
But who cares I'll take hypertrophy over 1 rep maxes any day.2 -
I do rep sets of 50,40,30,20,10,10 with 145,165,185,205,225 and 245 one workout. Burn out sets with 225 for 20-35 reps for 4 sets another workout. Burn out 10 reps with 315 and then sets of strict 5 reps with 315 another. Probably once every 6 weeks I'll try a max. I've confused the hell out of my muscles. Good pump though.

sounds like an epic way to really torch the chest, I usually bounce between incline and flat every other week focusing on strength on one and endurance on the other. Sounds confusing but its like this
Week1 Tuesday Chest Day
Incline Bench warmup 3x10 warmup weights, 4x4(90% 1rm)of working weight
Flat Bench 2x10 warmup weight 4x10-12 working weight
Week2 Tuesday Chest Day
Flat Bench warmup 3x10 warmup weights 4x4(90% 1rm) of working weight
Incline Bench 2x10 warmup weight 4x10-12 working weight
