best bench press

whats your best bench press dumbells or bar?

Mine was 105kg for 2 reps when I last had a go, not a weight I was happy with when watching all the other guys benching 110-150kg but I think I could do better if I trained for it

260ld for 2 reps, when i was 26...

back many many moons ago in the olden days my best bench was 192 kg for 1, but could rep 140s for 8.

192kg... lol madness.

Done 120kg 3 reps on the flat 100kg incline smith machine 1 rep 42.5kg dumbells decline 4 sets of 8 chest not my strong point

Can manage 356lb for 4 on bar. But usually stick to 300lb for 10.

150kg for 2 reps.

Hi Matt whats your weight?

Alright Paul, I'm weighed 105kg last week at the novice but probably lost a little as not trained all week my arms been a little sore to say the least lol.

what about you paul whats your best bench press ?

Paul mines 210kg 462lb for 2, dumbells 70kg flat but that as heavy as they went but ofcourse thats before i was ill,now iam just building up so my weights are what i feel are poor flat dumbell press 57.5kg and bench 130kg my training really wont allow me to build those number till after the british next year as jan onwards i use weights to mantain, and my focus is on my armwrestling training il go back to stength training later on,

Matt them arms will get better but having Alan and co bouncing it on you may take a while

I am interested in Mr Frampton's press.......250kg+ ????

He actually doesent train Bench as it is not a great deal of assistance in strongman events. He only does it occasionally. I believe he has done around 240kg though, maybe more,il ask him tomorrow and im sur he'l chime in. Rich "Gorilla " Gorvin who trains at the gym has benched quite a bit more than this i believe. Your former level of pressing is extremely impressive Paul

bench press 155kg 12 reps,shoulder press 80kg 12 reps before my op on my knees
