How much do you Bench Press?

[MatureDJ]

Did 285# at age 20 when I weighed 145#, and then got a wrist injury from it (I'm a WristCel), and never got back into form. My last full set for a workout would be 8 x 225# - it was nice to see 2 big weights on each side.

Respect, strong numbers at that age. Wishing you the best, man. It does make me curious though whether it was due to recovery issues or something else going on

It seemed like every time I would lay off and go back to lifting, the bad wrist could come back. Then I let it go for 5 years or so, and I didn't have the problem - although I wasn't trying to lift as much as I had - but then I started going on the road for work and poon, and just never got back into it.

Most I ever did was 315# (~143 kg) for a set of 3

280 on a good day at 215, 6'2". Rotator cuffs are too worn from sports to go higher.

Height: 6'3
Weight: Between 324lbs - 336lbs, depending on the day and which gym scale I'm stepping on.

I've been in the gym consistently for the past 3 years.

I'm on a comprehensive bench press routine.. flat, decline, and incline...doing both close and wide hand grip on the bar (for flat and incline).

As of now, I'll be starting my newly increased weight for flat bench wide-arm, which is..

295lbs: 4 sets of 12 (285lbs for incline, also 4 sets of 12.

I have 3 goals for bench press...

1. To build bulk muscle for my pectoral muscles.

2. To successfully hit 4 sets of 12, of steadily increasing weight.

3. Based on #2, consistently improve my 1 rep max (PR).
.....

I'll be back later to share with you folks a new bench pressing routine I just began to implement, and it's been paying dividends for my bench press thus far.

You’re not cold approaching enough women with a solid wing man

At that weight I'd be worried less about the beach and more about how to drop 100 lbs

Not everyone can wear 330lbs like I can.

I hear you though.

Tell your heart that. It's not happy with having to work OT 24/7
