Just wondering. I hit my max today at 285. Not bad I guess. 75 lbs. more than I weigh.

I do 10 reps of 220 and 5 reps of 230 and I am spent. I have never maxed out because and I too scared to ask for a spotter

8 at 225, I hate asking for spots as well, I just keep to myself at the gym

At my peak last summer it was 4 reps at 305. Well... 3 and a half. I never was able to get that 4th without a spot. Nowadays i've been trying to tone down so I've been doing sets of 25 pushups. I can get 2 sets at 25 but the third i can never get more than 12. My goal is to get 4 sets of 25 for 100 pushups.

I think I could handle the bar a couple of times.

Two years ago before my shoulder injury I was working out hard and getting really strong maxed out at 305 2 reps! I then blew out my shoulder tearing my muscles and have never had the desire since so I rarely will put anything over 275 on the bar.

I will generall workout at 225 now and nothing more. At my age I guess 2 plates is plenty!

I used to bench a house, but now I can only bench a garage.

I wish Coach Mac would learn the concept of benching. There are a few players that need it.

I am deathly afraid of tearing something, then the surgery and the rehab, so generally I stick to less weight, more reps. I think the results are better as well, because you really focus on perfect form, not just getting more weight up.

I can barely bench a double quarter pounder w/cheese from McDonalds.

Do you know what they call a double quarter pounder w/cheese in France?

I actually use static contraction for my weight lifting regime.

For my bench, I am now @ 305 # & hold for 30 sec, rest 45 sec, then lift 305# again & try to hold for another 30.

I have been very happy with my mass increase in shoulders, chest tris & legs w/ SC.
