How much can you bench?

I am struggling at 150 Lbs using barbell right now. I can do 170 with dumbbell. However, i am below average since a healthy man should be able to bench his own weight

This guy is benching 1008 pound..what a beast....

 

Now or 15 years ago?

 

Hurt shoulder still so a measily 315-325 ATM.

I hope to hit 'shoulder willing' 400+ by the end of the year. Don't think my shoulder is going to let me though!

 

Both barbell and dumbbell?

 

depends on how old are you

 

#1 how are you benching more via dumbbell? That makes no sense, dumbbell should be less than barbell unless you're doing it wrong 'seriously'

I don't know on dumb bell, my gym only has dumbbells up to 100lbs, I do them in sets

 

Around 90 kilos at the moment

 

Barbell i'm at 275. I'm not a real big guy, but a group of us hit the gym at least 3 days a week.

 

I got these nice 12 ounce barbells. But they must be defective. They keep getting lighter and then I have to get a new one.

 

What's the difference between a barbell and a dumbell anyway?
I'm at my weight presently...150lb.

 

dumbells are individual weights that you pick up in each hand. A barbell is a single metal bar that you slide weights onto both ends of.

 

The barbell is basically the 45lb olympic bar for benching then?

 

basically, yes

 

I forgot to note my listed max is what I'm comfortable lifting by myself as I never have a spotter.

Just thought of that, watched so many guys lift weights with a spotter or incorrect form. With proper form or no spotter pulling up for them, they would not have gotten it.

 

you just like saying spotter.

I think I found the perfect match for you. This will put aside all those spotting issues - she could spot you and then some

425lbs on a good day. Of course I am 6'4" and weigh 319lbs.

 

Did you all see that 72 year old break the record for his age.... he did 450lbs I believe last week.

 

The most my scrawny body could get up was 275lbs...before all the civilian life kicked into gear.

 

LOL! 15 years ago, I was throwing shot and discuss in highschool, not to mention running a couple of miles a day and working out regularly. Then-Upper body workouts 3 days a week, lower 2 days a week plus the running and throwing a stupid round ball.
Damn was in pretty good shape then. Now 10 years of marriage and 2 kids later, I can barely walk upright let alone find time to work out.

 

I did 100kg some couple of years back
