I used to be able to get 405 lbs for at least three solid reps before I tore my rotator cuff. Nowadays I stick to dumbells and Hammer Strength Machines, and with no regrets.

This is a cool thread--kind of neat to see what "real" people are lifting.

I could prob go over 200 bt i just put 100 ):

That's great man! That's also roughly 2x bodyweight isn't it? Awesome!

Thank you. I was definitly surpised! I have always thought I would be stuck at 365 for my entire life. I never thought I would actually get 405 up!

Congrats malley. Great number.

My best is 275 x 4

I haven't tried more than that in quite some time. Solid for you Malley! Bench has always been a weak lift for me! I'm fine when I have 225 on the bar, on a good day I can do it 15+ (funny, I think I'll have to pick one of those days to max out). I don't like bench, I'll have some days where I'll do 4 sets. The first set I'll do 225 12 or so times, then set two I can only get it 6, set 3 goes up to 10 or so, then set 4 I fail at 6 again...

Can it be with a spotter assisting, because if so then 270, if not then 250? No roids either, thought of doing them, but often worried about major side effects.

Am I supposed to take this post seriously?

If you need help benching 270, do you really bench 270?

Or do you mean a lift off?

The only people who are so immediately defensive about steroids are people who do them.

I knew a guy who would introduce himself and he would bring up the fact that he's never done steroids within the first minute of the conversation. He was on steroids. I'm not accusing you of being on them, I believe that you're natural. But you might get people to think you are on them, reverse psychology thing.

I agree. The title isnt what is your bench max, and please establish if you have used or not. Its simply whats your max? And as I look at your avatar you look shady.....
