Very sorry for this thread. Just wanted it to be like bb.com for just a short while.
I realize mostly only lifters will respond to this thread.
I am weak relatively, I bench 95kg.
Actually I am more interested in what you did to increase you bench but gave the thread a sexy subject to get attention. I've hit the wall.
Let's see how many smartasses we can avoid from 170 who just want to say they could use me up.

Maxed out at 225.
Now since I'm here I've lost weight(probably muscle)
Would be happy to put up 200 pounds twice. |

200 or so. Bench is very weak compared to other lifts.
Deadlift: 400 lbs +/- 5
Squat: 300 +/- 5
Working on getting all of these up. I have been training since January.
Starting Strength and strong lifts are good programs to follow for strength. |

hmmm...
Last Bench max. I did was a few months ago. It was at 110kgs (242lbs.) twice with my wife spotting me. I felt as though I could have gone 1 or 2 more but didn't want to push it seeing as how she was the one spotting me. 
Then, I had surgery. So now, I am not sure.  |

Your rucksack is your friend.
Put some weight in it and then:
Dip
Press-ups (Regular and incline)
Pull-ups (not that I can, but maybe you can)
Run up and down flights of stairs (assuming you have some of course. I live in a 10-story apartment block).
If you can't do pull-ups (like me) and your gym has a smith machine, set the bar about chest high and with your legs extended out in front supported by your heels, grab the bar and and pull yourself up so that your chest almost touches the bar. Put on a weight-loaded rucksack strapped tight for added resistance. Stair climber is also good with a loaded rucksack if your gym has one. You get a really good burn throughout your legs. |

110kg is my max. this is pretty light weight really for those not in the know. anything less than 150kg for a guy in nothing serious really.
as for war...200kg...now thats...big...
but actually i think weights is as boring as bat shit... 
so i dont try to go any higher. it would be hard for me to go much higher anyway. i dont have the build.
rather run and do yoga.
in response to the op...i thing first and foremost one needs to have the build to go big.
otherwise, i guess just eat lots of food and train heavy... 
not too sure, im no expert. |

110kg is pretty light?
Man, I'd love to get you in the gym and see if you could sustain one of my strength training workouts when I'm prime. You're probably one of those poopie talkers, yet, can't even lift the bar, eh? Dude, we aren't professional lifters here. 110kgs light? HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAAA.
Move on troll, move on. |

what on earth are you on about?!!
the way youre talking you sound like you have a g-string wrung around your balls!!
lol! relax!
yes i can bench 110kg. i am nowhere near big!
110kg is not heavy, man! if i can lift it, it is NOT heavy. ok, its not light either, but it is not something to be proud of either.
i am VERY PART TIME with the weights... most of my time is spent with yoga and cardio.
you think im trolling?
ok, come to gongju and if i can lift 110kg, give me 1mil won, ok?
fair? money where mouth is and all that jazz?
ive seen people who are serious with the lifting and they could almost lift what i do with one arm!
repeat after me:
110kg is very pedestrian... 110kg is very pedestrian....
got it?
p.s. why do you take this [MOD EDIT for swearing] so seriously anyway?? |
