I just benched 235 today and was very stoked! I was just curious as to what other guys on this board are pushing because I know there are some guys that workout on here.

Also, anyone know of a good cheap supplement store? I want some good cheap whey protein!

it depends on what kind it is. I think it's usually around $60 for 2 kg.

I can do 235lbs 3 times. So I'm guessing 240-245 max?? I'm going to say that this is on a machine though, since I don't have a spotter.

Doing machine and freeweights is completely different!

Back in the day I could bench twice of what I could push in freeweights on a machine. I haven't benched on a machine for so long I couldn't tell you what I do now.

if you do a search on the net you can find a chart that shows what your 1-rep max will be from a certain weight and a few repetitions. When I have more time I'll find the link and post it.

I just recently bought Blueberry Whey Protein, but don't use it anymore. Didn't use much.

My friend can get out for 35, he works at GNC

Blueberry? What's that like? I have Vanilla. What other kinds can you get? $35? Damn! :)

I am too scared to try it. :rofl:

I am probably just going to mix it in with Ice Cream or something since I can't drink milk by itself.

I just can't drink it. I got blueberry and I've tried orange which is better. I heard if you drink it with milk it tastes better.

I only heard of blueberry,chocolate, orange, fruit punch so far but yeah I got my for 35 bucks but it's the WHEY brand. I think I can get other stuff as well for a reasonable price.

$35 bucks is a great deal for that stuff! That stuff is pretty expensive otherwise ($60-80/bucket).

That fruit punch sort of sounds interesting. Didn't know they had so many flavours.

yeah it ranges from 50 bucks and up or so I'm not clear on that but yeah I got a good deal. About flavours that's all I can remember. I'm thinking of try nitrotech heard it's better and taste better too and maybe creatine but I heard it's not good for you, just basically water.

You need like three strong spotters to do 550lbs....hehe. NFL Linemen can do that range I believe, maybe less...and they weigh over 300lbs easily. So this guy must be pretty tough haha. Strict powerlifters are usually fat anyways hehehe.


I need a hookup on ProLab NLarge 2......big frickin tub is $140. Fark..that's like a year's worth of ichiban.

Wouldn't mind working at GNC either just to get discounts hehe.

i finally am back to 270lbs, freebar.

Isn't the free bar 45lbs? I maxed at 325lbs back when I was lifting really heavy in school, now...who knows.

2 reps at 300 back in my prime (well okay, 1.5 reps) ... maybe 200 now ... probably closer to 150 :(

oh, at the time I was 5'9" 185lbs, 20yrs .. now I'm still 5'9", 170lbs soaking wet, 22

and free bar weighs 45lbs

there are some pretty big guys on this board...I'm impressed!

I saw a vid clip of some NFL player benching 700 lbs once. That was nuts...the bar bends under that weight!!!

As far as you guys looking at Nitro-Tech it's way overpriced. Do some research on the ingredients and mix your own. Also, Whey Protein does taste much better than milk but the calcium within the Milk is said to slow down the protein synthesis. In other words, if you want the protein to get absorbed quickly mix water...if you want it to be slow release I'd drink it with milk.

I always drink it with milk just because it tastes better though!

Lately I'm up to 225 for 5 sets of 6. I imagine if I tried to max out I could probably do 3 plates a side for one. So I guess thats 315. I've never really tried though. I can military a plate and 25 a side on the smith machine fairly easy:D Thats 185lbs for those that don't know the gym lyngo:tongue:


Just on Monday I spotted a guy would did 12 reps with 3 plates a side like nothing was there.:eek: He was freaky strong.

Yeeaa, that's what I said. I guess people saying that then can bench 225 are trying to sound like they're all big too.

160-165lb in that pic.

I wasn't going to reply to this thread since I am fairly new to working out, but my max is somewhere around 80-90 lbs on a flat bench press.

I am working on it though, I know it is seems like nothing to you guys. Hehe :D

When I usually workout, I just do incline bench with about 60 lbs on it (3 sets, 10 reps). You guys are probably laughing your asses off. Hahah :nut: I want to lift about 110-120 lbs on Incline in the near future.

Well, maybe cause I am old now, but I just did 315 on Monday for 2 reps, never touched a drug in my life.

Now I want the 405, but that might take a wee bit longer ;)

i can do like.. 130? hehe... havent tried in a long while last time i tried was like last school year and i did like 115.. im only 16 too.. and into computers :)
thats freeweight too.

12-14-2002, 07:22 AM
I can only do reps (8-10) with 160..but thats on the Bowflex, which is "suppose to be harder" thabn freeweights, but i really have no clue because i only have 80 pounds worth of freeweights..so i can do that about 50 times with ease.....my rep wieght has increased quite a bit in the last 3-4 months, when i started using the bowflex i could only bench reps of 110-120....which was pretty sad for a guy my Size..( 230...use to be 255 before i started with the weights) i should be doing reps of 200 pretty soon..i'll be happy with that for now.

I've been doing 3 sets of 8 with 140 freeweights, so no idea what my max would be. Not really into that.
