your weight vs your bench

[civicrider]

just seeing what people are benching with two dumbbells compared to their
body weight
height
doing 3 sets of 10

152lbs

6' 0"

120lbs press (2 x 60 dumbbells)

[liquidboi69]

I can't tell you my dumbbell weight but I can tell you barbell weight and incline dumbbell weight.

165lb weight
205lb barbell press
120lb (60/hand) incline dumbbell

[ZorroAMG]

Right now I'm 165lbs

Flat dumbells 80s

[A790]

Flat bench is 235 x 8 clean reps. Incline is 175 and decline is 205

I weigh 215 right now..

[nj2Type-S]

i'm 135lbs and with a spotter, i can do 2 x 70 lb dumbbells. without, i can only do 2 x 60 lb dumbbells. i'm too scared to try doing heavier than that without a spotter, lol.

[buh_buh]

150lbs
85 (170) db press
190 bench
both sets of 10.

The real question is how much you squat in relation to your weight. My squat sucks compared to my bench.

170LBS

thats impressive,
yeah squats are a whole new ball game, i have just started yo work on those

You guys should throw your height in with your weight. It will paint a better picture.

[civicrider]

good idea, after reading a couple it would make more sense

[buh_buh]

I guess I can lift more than I look if that's the impressive part. But to be honest I've plateaued at that bench for probably at about a year with little fluctuations here and there. DBs is where I've made my progress.
I'm probably 5'8 on a good day.

[ZorroAMG]

Hmmm ok

165lbs - 5'10"

Flat dumbells for 8 reps - 80's
Squat for 8 reps 225 (just getting into it again as of last week)
Deadlift as of 7pm today for 8 reps 250lbs

No smith machine bullshit, no belt, no straps, strict form.

[1-Bar]

5'7" 160-165lbs

DB Press 190 (95lbs x 2)
BB Press 205lbs
Ass to Grass Squats 205lbs (can't wait for squats > bench!!)
Deads 275lbs (2 sets/5 reps)

3 sets of 8 for the ones not listed

[vengie]

im 6'
weigh 165-170
dumbell press- 80lbs x 10, 3 sets
bench 225 x8, 3 sets.

squat 225x 10 (getting back into it, i banged my knee up pretty good...)

[Denslayer]

5'9 - 195lbs

315lbs x3 flat bench
285lbx x 3 incline

[Wildcat]

6'3", 250lbs
8-10 @ 315lbs flat bench barbell.

I don't need to go much heavier than that ever.

Why dont we just break ourselves into weight classes, rent out a gym, and have a Beyond's Strongest Man competition...

You're 165lbs, and you dumbell press 95lbs/hand...? You are the strongest lb for lb guy I know of. I have a buddy that is 150lbs and does 80's but he looks like Bruce Lee

You'd think with that HUGE db press you'd have a bigger bb press though...like 250+

Was thinking the exact same thing, I can believe the 95lb dumbells but your bench press should be way bigger..doesnt really add up.

^^I can see it, I've met some insanely strong pound for pound guys.
At my best (no idea about 10 rep max at the time) I benched 310lbs (1 rep max) and weighed 160lbs. Couldn't quite get double body weight Now weigh about 185 and probably around 100lb dumbells for 10's.
Last time I did squats I was doing 405 for 5's so probably something like 350 for 10's.
I'm 5'7".

One thing about the dumbells and bench press - the bar touches the chest and the dumbells touch the shoulders (for me anyways).
