How much can you bench press, and what's your height and weight?

Its been ages since i've posted in the 'Ask the trainer', and it's good to be back.

My maximum bech press is 70 kg's, 154 pounds.
I'm 5,8 in height and 150 pounds in weight and 16 years old.

If you do state how much you can bench press, include the weight scale in kilograms too. ;)

127lbs 5'4" 17yrs
bench press max lift is 140lbs(64 kgs ish)

It should also be mentioned for how many reps or even sets the lift is.. For 2 reps I could double the amount of weight that I can do with 10 reps,,, so I think that plays a part as well. It's kinda like asking someone what their fastest running time is without specifing the distance.. Uhhh, well not quite like that but you get the picture. Mines about 75kg for 5 sets of 8 reps. I weigh 80kg & 5'8". My best was 120kg a while ago but fell really ill for 2 years and my body shed most of it's muscle and the strength went with it but i'm getting back up to my former self now.

142lbs 5'6 15yrs old

max bench is 88.5kg or 195lbs

yeah, sorry about that, i'll try to be more specific next time. 8)

I really meant what is you're maximum bench press, the heaviest you have ever lifted.

Im about 5 ft 9 11 stone i managed one rep of 120 kilograms. Its weird though this is when i did scaffolding and i was lifting weight everyday, but since i stopped 80 kilograms is wat i can do. Im 18

im 17, 5'9 height, weigh 56k ( thats 9 stone 8)

Im quite a strong fit guy and max i do is 5 reps at 65kg

max i ever lifted is 85Kg but you shoudn't do that as 1 lift does jack all and its bad for you especially if you are under 18.

Mind you my bro-in-law is a former professional swimmer and he's about 6'3, 11 stone 6 but can easily press 120-140Kg :o so it really depends on how fit and strong you are (obviously lol)

120 and 140 is 20 kilos apart witch one can he do ez? if some one weighs 11,6 stone i have it hard to belive he can lift 140 with ez :/ his breast has to be half his body weight :P

that sounds about rite, a teacher at our school is a swimmer and quite skinny but he can lift like 100kgs easily, swimmers are really strong people i guess, must be from all the resistance under the water

Alright im the weakling here, which probably wierd for my size. The most i have ever lifted is 70 kilos. I did this about 2 yrs ago and then stopped lifting weights. Im currently 16, weight 87 kilos and im 6'1.

My bench max is 170 lbs. I am 6'3" and weigh about 157 lbs. after a meal. (I'm a tall lanky bastard, but I guess 170 is pretty good for a guy like me? :dontknow: )

i am 1,81-2 i havent maxed really but i train with 65 x10^3

isnt the world record like 800 pounds?

5'9 155 lbs max bench press 220 lbs.

The WR bench is actually up close to 1000 lbs now but they have these bench press shirts that give an easy 250-300 lbs. A 'raw" bench WR would probably be somewhere in the 700's.

14 yrs old, 5'9, 175lbs and i can benchpress 235lbs.

17 years old-6'2 245 i bench 340lbs.

I'm 5'5" 140 lbs. 206lbs. for 6reps.
I still dont know my 1 rep max.

5'10 185, 24 yrs old. Max bench is 275 for 2 reps.

Im 17 years old
I bench press 285lbs and am 6'1" tall. I weigh exactly 200.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha...

:coolclick:

Im 6' , 200lbs 100kg i think and my max of now is 195 hoping to get it past 200 soon.

im thirteen, 5ft 6 ins. , 129lbs. i done 155 2 weeks ago. i WAS 124lbs when i bench'd 155 cos ive been trainin like mad 4 2 weeks. dunno how much i can do now, probably about 160-165.

Finally someone said it. I was waiting for someone to say it. Bench press dont mean shit to alot of things. Even playing rugby league has nothing to do with bench pressing coz unless you are going to lie down and try and push the guy up and down then it dont matter that much. :coolclick: goes to missy ;)

everything wit hstrenght is to advantage so it has (an advantage) but ofc skills ..condition,... and those are alot more important :P

Dont do weights till your 16+ cus it f**** up your muscle development

Its mad seeing how much you younguns are pressing nowadays.

I shagged Angelina Jolie last night! ;)

sorry fellas, my turn tonight :o

rite now my max is 85 pounds but im in high school so yeah

I benched last night for the first time in about 5 years. My max in high school was 285 but now my max is only 230. I'm 230 pounds and 5'11".

Not to get off topic but how long would it normally take to get back to my old max of 285? Any rough estimates? We talking months or years?

just so you know most think that this is a big part of how good of a fighter you are.

this has virtually nothing to do with boxing or any type of fighting.

that's interesting, that reminds me of something... A Mexican friend of mine told me they used to not allow boxers to lift weighs because it was believed to slow them down, is there any truth to this?

i believe that it is, if not done correctly.

for me i would hire someone to teach me how to do it properly without messing up (as i told you i dont do anything, until i know everything about it)

just a question to understand how guys like you think - why would you think it would help you

also remember that strength and power are 2 very different things are most of the time arent related

To embarresed to say ;D

I CANT BENCH PRESS NOTHIN, IM 2"2 AND WEIGH 43 STONE AND 12 POUNDS


GLAD TO BE OF SERVICE!

It plays some part in punching power IMO but it's not everything, coz if that's the case then most bench pressing champs should be boxing champs also.
