How much do you bench press?

[Narwhalosh Whalescream]

I can bench 70kg but i'm a small little twink so whatever.

[Doctor Amadeus]

All of it.

[Grimbold21]

I dumbbell bench press. 5 sets x 10 reps with 52kg

[Phon]

The bar.

[MechaCThun]

My current max on barbell bench press is 245lbs for 1 rep. I'll have a spotter there for lift off and in case I need a spot.

Bench is my weakest compared to my squat and deadlift.

[StayTuned]

At my best 100kg 3x.

Today, I wonder if I'd manage 20kg

When I use to work out with weights on a regular basis, I was doing 228# for 8 reps as part of my routine. But that was back in my physical prime in my mid 30's. Today, some pushups ( 8 ) during the winter when I do not have outdoor chores to do, is it along with some other easy exercises, such as pull-ups. At my age, I feel good being able to do pushups. lol!

[Dsonsion]

Very little, honestly. My chest is one of my weakest muscles.

[Doctor Amadeus]

Ok all joking aside 225lbs I can do 12 reps in 2 sets. I don’t do weights other than once a week and typically it’s curls.

Nice! You are a beast!. But once a week? Not that good for you actually. When I worked out with weights, I did them a min of 4 times a week. Usually 5 times a week, would rest over the weekends. But I was also running 5 miles in 38 mins, 4 times a week.

[d00mGuArD]

the bar and 10kg on each side. and that is pushing it!

Beast nah. I don’t do weights like I did when I was a kid, so banging out a few reps and a couple sets is pretty easy and 225lbs is near or around my body weight. Now that I’m older I just do the hour a day 4 days a week Push Ups, Sit Ups, Pull Ups and running for 30 minutes. That’s all I do now.

I do weights regular once a week but bench press isn’t in my general rotation.

Sounds like you do a lot of strength training, but for me it’s cardio and personal body weight I think is better for my overall health.

I already fucked around and got sciatica I think. But diet and tightening up seems to have made it go away

I use to. Not anymore. Mine now is more about maintaining overall general decent fitness for my age. And like I said, any exercising as in a certain type and routine, is done during the winter. I have enough chores to do on our little mini farm during the spring, summer and fall, other exercise is not needed. Except I do some yoga type ones at night before I go to bed, to work out the kinks I have in my spine left over from my daily chores.

And as long as my belly is smaller than my chest, I feel I am doing ok. I honestly do not think heavy weight lifting is that good for a person for long term health. Moderate lifting to maintain good muscle tone is good. Also, running is not the best. Walking is better I think and much easier on your joints. Just takes longer to get the same beneficial results from running. I do go for long walks along my nature trails back in the woods often.

Not much. The bench doesn't even leave a mark on the floor when I try to press it.

Mini farm sounds cool.

Yeah me and my fiancee have been working out together, which I worried about at first, because I don't like to be distracted, if I get distracted, I can get out of routine, but I have learned to share and it has worked out.

She is in perfect shape in my view but she wants to get more tone and muscle, and so when it comes to weights, she does her thing, but I help her with that a little. I generally teach her a few things like how to basically get used to her own body weight, trying to get her to do some pull ups by fall hehe


I also agree with you on the walking, I have an elliptical, but I do love going for walks, I am with you on the maintaining because yep I got those Genetics my dad drank like a fucking fish and had the beer gut, so I make it point not to drink and keep the salt and sugar down.

I do meditate though, but Yoga isn't something I have done well with.

Tried that Hot Yoga shit and this 5'2 Asian woman teaching the class was kicking my ass. I made it through, but I think I am going to have to start with something a bit simpler

[God Save The King]

Haven't done any bench pressing in years. I peaked at 415lbs back in the summer of 2016.
