I benched 300 on the hammer strengh 5 reps and 3 sets, it's not the same as a barbell bench but i have a bad shoulder and everytime I do flat bench I hurt it. So as a warm up i do dumbbell incline and there I'm up to 95 pound dumbbells 5 reps 5 sets.
So what's your max it doen't have to be bench press, but I do belive that sometimes we need to push the limits................................Come on people spring is 3 days away :flowerforyou:

I'm new to the site... I love the info I'm getting from the posts though. I'm now benching 3 sets 12 reps and have 35kg on the bar... can finally do 4 sets of 15 pushups. Just last year I couldn't do a pushup, I had to do them on my knees. My next goal is chin up / pull up... any suggestions to help with that? I'm doing lots of lat pulls, but it doesn't seem to be helping.0

or if you have a workout partner have them hold your feet crossed at the ankles knees bent and push off as little as possible then there are negative reps0 -
when I started pull ups I had a small ladder at my pull up bar and let my toes get on the step and worked up from there...pul ups are really tough but really help0

Last summer I hammered out:
160 lbs - 8
180 lbs - 5
200 lbs - 3 reps
flat bench...
Maxed at 505 on leg press back in the day for 10 reps...
Currently I am not in the heavy iron phase - i am all about light weights, high reps, and speed training...
I have many goals, and one of them (besides fat loss) is speed for baseball in fall, etc.
Still pushing iron is fun...0 -
