Can you bench press your weight?

bigbet1234 · Feb 26, 2011

I can, use to be able to do it 20 times, now, about twice.

I wish. I weight about 200 lbs, 6'1" though so I wear it well. But my chest is definitely the weakest part of my body....I really need to start getting back to working out.

M.Saracen · Feb 26, 2011

Yep. Probably about 20 times. It's my first set of 8 when lifting.

you did not strike me as a big guy last time i saw you BB... how much you weight and brench press?

I only close grip bench press occasionally. Regular bench press is pretty hard on the shoulder joint.

Yup. I kinda suck at bench press though.

sounds like you're not keeping your elbows tucked and scapula pinched on the regular.

I'd be in the gym right now if I couldn't press my own weight at least a dozen times. bone density is one of the prime indicators of lifespan. more muscle, more bone density.

I know the proper mechanics of the bench press, I have a degree in exercise science. Even using the proper technique puts a lot of strain on the rotator cuff muscles.

Dante, I was 6' 235 when you seen me last. I am right about that now, was as high as 250. I ain't tiny. lol

Did you change your avatar because dudes were poking fun with their steroid comments?

Betallsports · Feb 26, 2011

Yes, but don't know how many times. It's been about a year now since I last did it ( 8 reps )

Because when i was young, doing Construction for my Dad. I have Great upper body strength. with Strong Arms.

I like how every degenerate here can bench press their own weight 20 times.. Im 6'4 225 and can bench press 305 with barbell and 250 with dumbell's.

come at me bro

M.Saracen · Feb 26, 2011

I bench 225 with torn rotator cuff. Hate doctors so just ignore it.

FrankieCarbone · Feb 26, 2011

No, I just felt like changing it. It's still me in the avatar. I can't help people feel inferior and try to make jokes.
