Not much, I'm weak

I don't, bench pressing is useless.

Who knew atrl lifts this heavy. Making me want to quote from Janet's feedback, heavy like a first day.

I'm doing around 300lbs lately, which would be like 140kg or half a Nicki Minaj I guess

80-90lbs for standard reps, with a few reps at 100lbs or more if I feel like it

I feel like many of you are lying…

I've been doing 85lbs for dumbbell presses, I don't actively do barbell presses

I think I maxed at 100-110

Like how much in a single rep or in three sets? I can do a big amount in a single rep but I usually do 130 lbs or so if I'm doing 3-4 sets of 12

edit: no surprise to see the dupe account being the first to react from his basement.

60 kgs for 3*10

I'm too delicate

it's actually Chest Day today. i'm up to 70kg now (for a set of 12 reps). will be upping it soon.

Around 65kg currently, I'm skinny as hell I feel like it's my max.

it's max for now. once you bulk up you can continue increasing it.

I don't know if I wanna do that… Heroin chic is trending again, I've been told.

i'm in the same boat as you. I'm also never hungry and too lazy to eat enough to get bulk. i'm 6'5 so it would be also impossible even if i gave it my all.

Tbh I don't. It takes like a solid three months of consistent training to lift heavier weights. Which is not a lot of time, and gays in general do go to the gym a lot.

It's safe to assume mostly ATRLers who are into lifting opened this thread, so it's pretty self-selecting sample lol. Benching 225 is a common strength goal.

I don't know. I'm a PT and I bench 80kg, so yeah I was impressed

15lbs

I didn't know we had so many muscle daddies on ATRL

I only do dumbbell press so don't know how much I'd do on a proper bench. Does anyone know how to estimate the conversion? I do 40 lbs dumbbells for a total of 80 lbs. But that's also 3 sets of 6-8 so could probably do more if I was just doing one rep

A barbell is 45lbs so you'd probably be able to do at least 135 (plate on each side) depending on your warmup and wrist strength.

Are we talking plated machines or standard barbell?

With machines I can do three plates incline press (270-290 just hit that PR, idk what the resistance weight is), and 225 for flat/decline press. I prefer those because I can load up more weight and avoid injury. If I do standard barbell though I can do two plates for both flat bench and incline, but I usually just do 185 max. I slightly dislocated my elbow as a kid and never went to the doctor for it so if I go too heavy on standard barbell press I will feel the pressure in my left elbow which makes it more difficult to balance, so I just go lighter if I ever do standard bench. Good for a final burnout.

This. i feel like at least half the men at the gym at gay. Straights are too lazy, they don't care about how they look.

Add another 45 pounds to it to account for the bar and you should be at around 120 lb with a barbell. That's the general rule of thumb.
