mehhhh..... are we talkin 300lb 1 rep max or for reps? cuz i dont lift for 1 rep max. so ya 300lbs for reps is a big feat for some of us...

[Andre]

Some crazy videos of her on utube... 2 X body weight bench press impressive for anyone... man or woman!

[natenator]

What do you lift then for reps?

[buildinthaskinnys]

I am not ashamed to say (well maybe a little hehe) that this is a little more than what I can lift without a shirt, but I can deadlift more than her so I have that going for me.:p

[kloan]

What do you lift then for reps?

185... did 205 for 3 last workout... ive only been benching for the last 3 months though.. working my way up. 300 is a loooooong way off for me.

[faller]

I'm going to get a bumper sticker," 300 or bust"

[baza]

I'd rather not bench then bench with form like that. I understand it's part of the game, but it looks disgusting.

[#8]

lol, i love when guys or girls do a heavy ass bench with about 6 inches ROM. im gonna start doing quarter reps to see what i can actually lift......being tall is a HUGE disadvantage in this lift IMO.

[natenator]

that's a proper way to bench. There is no such thing as a powerlifting bench press and a bodybuilding bench press.

[#8]

ya BUT when my armspan is over 6ft i have to move the bar MUCH farther than the average lifter, especially the ones under 6ft, ESPECIALLY the ones under 5'8 - 5'9

im just saying if i moved the bar 6-8 inches i could lift way more weight, but i have to move it prolly close to 24 inches if not more every rep

oh I agree. I got long arms too at 6'3

^^ you feel my pain then. im never gonna set any bench records lol

ever.

[natenator]

don't be so hard on yourself you just need to train for them. In school I was benching 500 for reps.

When I was dieting I was barely pushing 400 for 6-8 reps. Once you stop training for strength you lose it I find.

[CanadianIron]

I dont know what this video proves.. there are a lot of women who are naturally bigger/stronger than a lot of men.. a lot of guys simply do not have what it takes to bench 300 for reps... let me emphasize the fact that the reason isnt just physical. Like I said in the other thread, some guys are just wimps mentally.

[JacktheThriller]

watched it and somehow im not impressed (im not joking) dont know why

[waderow]

watched it and somehow im not impressed (im not joking) dont know why

lol that girl is stronger then EVERY SINGLE GUY IN MY GYM except me hahahha it was impressive

[CanadianIron]

Your gym is weak...

[waderow]

Your gym is weak...

full of fags. its unreal.

only one in town though

[CanadianIron]

Sounds like my old gym... if you put up 2 plates people would stare and ask you if you needed a spot... 300 was unheard of, you would actually muster a small crowd....

[Mastagon]

Yes. I saw some guy doing what he thought was a 345 bench today, but was really a six inch ROM ego exercise. A badass champion of the underarmor cause. Boy its nice to have something to laugh about inbetween sets.

[kloan]

All the way down, all the way back up.... is that so difficult?

[waderow]

All the way down, all the way back up.... is that so difficult?

Not one guy benches to full rom at my gym. Its silly. I see guys doing 6" presses, and I see them flattened out with their legs in the air. I see them make pillows out of their sweaters. I see spotters get a back work out in while buddy presses 6". Its ****ed

[Redz]

We could debate all day long, I always leave a 4inch gap between my chest and the bar because I have an 80" reach and I dont want to put my shoulders at an ackward angle. I have benched 370 for 2 reps max, I dont believe in touching your chest its not worth the risk of shoulder injury.

youre technique is probably wrong then if youre straining shoulders

[waderow]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vUcjOIZc80c

[Redz]

Even if I leave a 4" gap I am still doing the same or bigger ROM than most people. I`m sure my technique is fine.

I am sure it is not fine if youre straining shoulders and only doing partials.
But, I suppose I dont really care how you work out, but I do hate to see good guys like yourself get hurt

[Redz]

I do dumbell presses all the way down but with the full bar I have to go with a pretty wide grip if I want to come all the way down. I`m not saying I never go all the way down but usually on heavy sets I leave the gap. I will play with the exercise a bit and see what I can do with the wide grip.

[waderow]

your elbows must be too flared. did you watch that video?

[Redz]

I`m at work cant watch the video now its blocked. Will check it out later.

[CanadianIron]

I can picture exactly what your bench looks like... tuck your elbows, your arms should be at 45 deg to your body, you're probably benching at 90 deg and bringing the bar down to high up on your body.

I dont care how long a guys arms are, if your technique is right it wont put your shoulders in an awkward position... if you make a bench grip infront of your stomach and slide it up your chest and keep your thumbs touching your torso, you will notice that at the bottom of your chest your thumbs will stop touching your chest... you shouldnt be trying to bring the bar down to a point above here...

I was benching 300+ lbs for partial ROM a couple years back and i decided to can my close grip, shit ROM and go wide and deep... it took another year just to get my bench back up but now my chest is way bigger and stronger... you NEED full ROM... you might impress a few people in the gym when they see you loading a bar, but if you want to impress the people that count, you have to go wide and full ROM.

You are risking shoulder injury benching the way you do...I woudl suggest learning correct technique sooner than later.

Does that mean since I am short I can do 1/4 squats because I am still getting my ass closer to the ground than most people?

Actively decelerating a weight is horrible for your connective tissue. It's like throwing your car into reverse while going 30.

[JacktheThriller]

what is the gap talk? u have to touch ur chest to complete the rep in my eyes, otherwise its a partial, i see too much of this gap business in my gym and it just allows guys to leave a 4" then at 25s then a 6" gap and so on NONSENSE NONSENSE

[kloan]

damn, thanks for the vids P. and Wade.... i was wondering why my shoulders burn up every time i bench now.. i have shit form!

i'm gonna watch those vids a few times until it's driven into my head how to bench with proper form. hopefully it'll allow me to lift more since my shoulders shouldn't be burning anymore.

[swolegantor]

^^ you feel my pain then. im never gonna set any bench records lol

ever.

Naturally you have a shitty attitude. Bill kazmaier was 6'3" and benched 661

Actually almost all of the strongest men on earth are around 6'2"-6'4"

[swolegantor]

Sometimes I think this entire forum needs to be sat down and taught a few things about Training.

Anyways, Hannah is strong as hell, that was also 2 ply shirted and not really equivalent to a raw bench.

If anyone out there thinks 300 is unattainable for a healthy adult male they should be castrated and banned from working out.

[waderow]

hahahaha castrated... lol

I think essentially you guys might be right...


IF a guy started pressing at 18 and had perfect health to speak of, by 30 all men would likely be pressing 300lbs.

But to say any healthy male could do it is wrong, a lot of 40 year old men could NEVER press 300lbs if they had never lifted before and if they were all natural. Same could be said for 30-something year olds. I started lifting at 21 and it took maybe 2 years to hit a 1RM of 300. But I worked out 4-5 days a week and trained hard. Some people can't train hard, their weak minds wont let them. Couple that with the fact that they're naturally extremely skinny and have weak joints and you've got a good case of someone who will never bench 300 without juice.

We all have brains capable of engineering rockets, but many can't even do long division...

[BAM]

She is so arched that her lift is basicly a decline press.

Any normal healthy male 20-50 has the ability to bench 300lbs without aas...if they want to. read that again...I said if they want to...not if they'd like to....HUGE difference. When you want something youll find a way to achieve it.

[CanadianIron]

The word "ability" needs to be better defined... i know people who have been "trying" to the best of their abilities and they're nowhere close.

My argument is that they lack the focus and determination. They have the physical body but lack the mind for it.

Ability includes physical, mental, and emotional...it is what determines the outcome of the decisions you make. ie one has the ability to get a degree, mba, phd...or bench press 300lbs.
If there are not even close then they are NOT trying to the best of their ablities...they are missing a huge link in the chain.

Agree to disagree... I've met a lot of people who are simply missing a few gears up top, nothing would give them they ability to get their Dr. short of a new brain... the same way people are stupid, i think people are physically stupid.. just picture the goofs from gym class that couldnt kick a ball straight if their live depended on it...

Your logic would suggest that every single guy out their has the ability to train and run for Mr O.. however there is a wide spectrum of people out there.. everyone has a max and its different for everyone, if you could look at a graph that showed the physical limits for every healthy man on the planet there would be guys who couldnt bench 300lbs... a lot of them.

If you are healthy and can procuce muscular tissue then 300 pds is very obtainable. Think about if you only did bench press, like a powerlifter, so your not splitting up your recovery resources. Its easy for your chest to get stronger and grow if that is your only goal.

Whats this logic being attributed to MR. O. Your logic is flawed here, lifting benching 300pds and being Mr. O are very different. Mr. O has tons to do with genetics, its an aethetic contest. you think branch warren could ever have as nice a look as Victor Martinez get real bud

I said bench press 300lbs...this has nothing to do with becoming Mr O...there is a HUGE difference in accomplishing a simple strength feat and becoming the best in the world in a chosen sport. You are missing the entire logic...people are not stupid...yes IQ's may range up or down but the ability to do something ie get a degree has nothing to do with IQ...it has to do with "want" which means if you read a book on finance and dont understand it then you read it again, if you still dont get it , read it again, its simple. The people not able to do things quit too early, dont empower themsleves with knowledge, are close minded and simply do not want it. Yes everyones max may differ...this has nothing to do with benching 300lbs...thats a beginning and an easy one at that. Everyone has a limit at what they can achive physically and mentally however most never even grasp a % of that in their lifetime. Some people may take more time but they can achieve great things...simply saying they are limited is BS. Some of the greatest people ever were told at one time that they didnt have what it takes to make it...ie Thomas Edison, Albert Einstein, Lenda Murray, Ronnie Coleman, Garth Brooks, Johnny Cash, Danny Devito, Seabiscuit(horse)...the list is almost endless. According to your logic all of these people/animals would be failures...had they quit when told they didnt have it...Thomas Edison didnt invent the light bulb...in his words he invented 9,999 ways not to invent the light bulb.
You are already setting limits in your own mind and that will severly hamper your progress in anything you do. In the words of Yoda..."do or do not, there is no try!!"

[CanadianIron]

All Im saying is, there is going to be a wide spectrum of max weights for people based on natural ability.... i think for a lot of people 300 would be unattainable... make that number 350 and you can include even more... obviously we can all agree on a weight that most will never achieve, somewhere there will be a number that most will and some wont... for me I'd say 300... regardless... no point in arguing unless we want to set up a reality TV show where we pick people off the street and spend 5 years training them to bench 300lbs...

... and for the record, I bench 300 for reps no problem.. my 1rm is currently 365... shooting for 405... do I think i could EVER bench over 600lbs... no... can others?.. yes.... for me, im pretty sure my 7" wrists would snap.. I doubt I'd ever get to 405 naturally either...

For most people 300lbs is unattainable because they believe it to be unattainable. There hasnt been a single client who I have worked with who hasnt benched 300 clean...and im talking they could barely hit 135lbs initially.
I could barely bench 180lbs in high school...by 21 i hit 405lbs clean...more than double bodyweight...by 27 i hit 600lbs raw. Why? beacuse i have superior genetics, hardly, because of aas , BS...because its something i was going to do no matter what. No not everyone will do that...but 300lbs yes they can...easily.

And i think it's rather stupid for people to post shit like this to try and egg guys on to get there lifts higher cause some chick can do it.

Bunch of guys will try and lift WAY to much to soon and then end up hurt.

If you can only bench 200 pounds there's no need to try and be superman and get hurt. Take your time and lift smart.

Bud the point of this thread's debate is to prove that if you work hard, not overnight, you can achieve. Many guys on this site in fact cannot bench 300 pds and have a mental block about hitting a wall in their poundages.

I sort of feel that way about 405. I'll hit 3, 4, 5 for bench (280) ,squat (385),dead (435 and a 500 rack pull below the knees) before spring but 4,5,6 seem a like unobtanium. I may break from dc and give 5,3,1 if it doesn't get me there by 2011.

I would say do some reading on EliteFTS and Westside Barbell...great information and you dont have to be a PL to incorporate some ideas into your training.

First off learn some proper english before you start running your mouth bro, secondly i think it's quite pathetic of you to try and take a jab at me because you think im small.

Im 6'2'' 225 lbs up from 180 lbs 5 months ago and quite frankly i don't give a rats ass what you think. I've worked very hard to get to my current weight and will continue to do so.

When i reach my goal of 245-250lbs @10%bf i won't think im hot shit like you do and start talking trash to guys smaller then me because a) That's just retarded and b) I would rather construct then deconstruct.

Now going by your avatar i would think your a flaming homo, but then again it's just an avatar so who am i to say:)

I'm knocking down pr after pr on dc and seeing real strength gains over all areas. What I'm not seeing with dc is the dramatic weight gain I saw with more volume. I'm hoping the strength gain will parlay into muscle over time but we shall see.

I would not be surprised if a 5x5 was better suited to my current strength level in terms of volume. I'm enjoying the whole beat the log book game and generally happy with the strength results so I'm going to see it through till I stall out or decide that it's not going to put any more meat on my bones.

For the record this thread wasnt meant to try and egg people on to lift more than they are capable, its to prove to people that its the hard work and determination that pays off in the end not the quick fix or "magic", in fact it probably took hannah 10 years to press that much weight, I will add that I was the only poster that mentioned that I benchpress less than her, I guess that means that im the only one here weaker than her? hehe yah right, I know where I stand now but I can also see where I am headed in this game and that makes me look forward to the future.:greet

you started the smack talk by pissing in the face of other people and those who've posted pics. You want to take jabs at others then you can expect to get the same back.

It's a tough world out there. Be ready to receive what you dish out. If it was taken out of context then perhaps you ought to learn how to communicate better by putting context around your words.

How much tren are you on anyway? *kiss*

I never said anything about anyone you dumb shit, INFACT i was saying hard work pays off and if you look in pic forum it's proof.

And next time before you spout off maybe ask someone if maybe you read there post wrong or it was worded wrong.

My bad

Meaning

My mistake - I'm to blame.

Origin

This slang term originated in about 1970. At that time, i.e. pre the widespread use of the Internet, slang terms often circulated at street level for many years before being adopted by anyone who felt inclined to write them down. That's clearly not the case any longer of course and any word or phrase that is widely known is dateable quite precisely via website logs.

The first citation in print is C. Wielgus and A. Wolff's, 'Back-in-your-face Guide to Pick-up Basketball', 1986:

"My bad, an expression of contrition uttered after making a bad pass or missing an opponent."

Shakespeare used the term with something like the current meaning, in his Sonnet 112:

Your love and pity doth the impression fill
Which vulgar scandal stamp'd upon my brow;
For what care I who calls me well or ill,
So you o'er-green my bad, my good allow?

That's clearly just coincidence, and it's hardly surprising that such a fragmentary phrase would appear in a large body of work like Shakespeare's. It's also a world away from pick-up basketball, which is an informal street sport where players frequently call out to each other (trash talking), and is a well-known source of street lang.

clueless'My bad' came into widespread popular use in the mid to late-1990s in the USA via the 1995 movie “Clueless”. This starred Alicia Silverstone and contains what seems to have been the first use of the phrase in the mainstream media. The 1994 'Green revision pages' for the movie script has a scene with Alicia Silverstone's character learning to drive:

"Cher swerves - to avoid killing a person on a bicycle. Cher: Whoops, my bad."

Although a street term, it is virtually synonymous with the earlier Latin phrase, 'mea culpa'. It doubtless has as little of a direct descent from this as it does from Shakespeare's Sonnet 112.

'My bad' has gained that unequivocal accolade - imitation. In REM's 2004 song 'Leaving New York' there is this verse, which as you see includes 'my proud':

You might have laughed if I told you
You might have hidden a frown
You might have succeeded in changing me
I might have been turned around
It's easier to leave than to be left behind
Leaving was never my proud
Leaving New York, never easy
I saw the light fading out

The Doonesbury cartoon strip for 14th June 2006 included this:

"Okay, I'm bitter that I have to support myself! There I said it! My brave."

6 plates x 45lbs per plate =270lbs

+45lb for the bar!

When people post what they bench, BAR IS INCLUDED!

So you're benching 3 plates a side, you're benching 315lbs... that's a good amount of weight IMO.

[dremen]

+45lb for the bar!


I've never counted the bar....lol

So many things slip past me now adays....:(

[Durk]

Congrats your bench just went up 45 pounds instantly lol

[CanadianIron]

No, hes just playing dumb acting like hes been easily benching that much for months... we're supposed to think he's a huge idiot and forget that fact that he probably doesnt bench 3 plates.

If you've been lifting for any amount of time and you didnt think to count the bar with the weight you're lifting, i would imagine you're partially retarded. Post a vid of yourself benching 3 plates and you can redeem yourself, until then, you're a goof.

3 plates is my MAX i said.

Why be an asshole?

[Durk]

depends some gyms have 25 pound bars, and if you use a home gym your bar might be 5-10 pounds, but 45 is pretty standard.

[kloan]

If the gym uses all olympic style equipment, then yes all straight (bench) bars weigh 45lbs. EZ curl is 25lbs.

i thought it was because of the bench shirt/vest she was wearing... they look funny.

i just watched it again... holy fack her grip is WIDE!! do you guys grip the bar that wide?

Middle finger on the knurling.

[tiramisu]

The wider your grip the less distance you have to move the bar, so while wearing a bench shirt it makes it possible to lift more.

The way a bench shirt works is interesting. In some cases you actually have to pull the bar down to touch your chest. Shirted benching is all about the lockout. On the bottom the shirt keeps you from killing yourself. That and 3 spotters.

[buildinthaskinnys]

I thought this would be an easy goal to work for, I cant see why people made a big fuss, if you weigh at least 150 pounds thats only twice your body weight, and there are guys pressing over 3 times there body weight and more out there!!! Im so psyched up Ived been watching hella videos and I am training my ass off, tommorrow I will guage my bench and figure out where I am at in my 1 rm, I will press 300 by the end of this year I have decided this.

Just add 10 pounds to your bench every week or every 2 weeks till you get to 300lbs bro. I don't do warm up sets for bench i just start with last weeks max for 4 reps then do a few sets with the extra 10 pounds.

This method has helped me bring my bench up a lot in the last 2 months.

If you start with 2 plates a side and do a few warm up sets you loose a lot of energy or "Push" as some call it, but when you just get in there and lift max first you really end up moving a LOT more weight.

This routine really builds strength and if your diet is up to par then strength builds size.:bch

EDIT: IMHO if your not doing weighted wide grip pullups on back day your bench won't go up as fast.

Im not on steroids so progessive overload will never increase my bench as fast as you suggest, and on a side not I would never warmup with last weeks MAX thats just stupid, fortunately I am not an impressionable kid but thanks for the "advice's" anyways. What I will be doing is using the percentage method, and following alot of what the West Side Barbell clubs does. These are people that use "science" not "Broscience", might want to look into that dude.

[Ritch]

gotta hate VD's huh? lol

But since the VD is in a small bodypart of his, it`s safe to say the pain won`t be spread out to far, so the suffering is kept at a minimal. Because if it was in Dremen`s big 10 inch cock, he`d be in so much pain because he has a big 10 inch cock as there`s more room for the VD to spread around in his big 10 inch cock...

[Durk]

your dick does not count.

Ouch.

I did do 300 a little over a year ago when I was on a tren-test combo. I have super long arms, but that is still pretty gay.

I am 45 pounds lighter now and I only do pylometrics and bodyweight excercises as resistence training so I can only hazard to guess how weak I am now lol.

On either a 5x5 or DC program you will likely raise your "working sets" either 5 pounds per week or 10 pounds every 2 weeks pretty effectively till a fair bit over 300 pounds (assuming you are 200 plus pounds yourself. At 150 body weight 300 is an impressive lift by any measure). This doesn't require aas even as an adult. I ran a 5x5 clean about 6 years ago (mid-30's) and hit my 3 plates a side after about 18 months starting somewhere around 135. (not quite 5 pounds a week, but life and injuries happen).

I have this fantasy the the trip to 2x bodyweight will be as easy but I know it's not going to work out that way.
