How many times can you rep 225 lbs. on flat bench press?

[Pure Stock]

Same stuff the guys have to do in the NFL combines.

At one time (yr 1/2 ago) about 35 in a row. Now be lucky if I get 2. Atrophy is a bitch!

[Rio94gt]

Right now 10. Most ever was 14. I weight 165.

[gmkillr]

Never tried 225 more than 10 x's as a warmup, but I have done 275 14 x's
and 300 8x's

[yeahloh95]

i'll let you know later on today i'm headed to the gym i used to be able to get 12-15 reps of 225

[boo]

Same stuff the guys have to do in the NFL combines.

19 last time I tried. I felt like a little girl when Brady Quinn threw it up 25 times at the combine.

How bout you big boy?

[sutyak]

I could probably muster 8 right now.
I'm 173lb 5'11. Closer to 165lb if I would lose the gut.

[INSANELY CRAZY]

Weighing in at near 200 lbs. 20 reps with no help from spotter is the best I have ever done. Brady Quinn is up in the weight. Isn't he around the 230# range?

Yeah I think he weighed in for the combine at around 225. I'm way more fast twitch muscle so I'm more of a lift a shitload of weight one or two times as opposed to moderate weight a bunch of times. At least that's what I tell myself lol.

What's your best single hit?

One rep is 370. Tried 375 and it was like I went to 500

Yeah man, I hear ya on that. The threshold is very clearly defined for me as well. I'm like that was light I'll move up 5 lbs. and low and behold it burries me.

I was into doubling and tripling higher weights for a while. I'm more into 8-10 rep ranges with all compound exercises now. I keep most of the mass builders incorporated into the workouts. Squats, bench (incline/flat), seated military, olympic bar curls, close grip triceps, gave up on deads, now pull-downs and one-arm dumb-bell rows are the staple for latissimus development.

Try to do 1-2 bodyparts per visit. Usually pairing antagonist muscle groups. (Hey it worked for the Arnold) I just can't seem to get as big though. I *think* it has something to do with protein assimilation and that stuff they say is illegal.:)

Today maybe 5 times if my shoulders hold out. Back in the day before wife,kids and mortgage use to warm up with 300 about 20-25 reps.Best ever was 395 one rep and I weighed in at 195.All I have is bad shoulder joints and a bunch of trophies to show for it. Funny how life works and priorities change.

[coralcoupe1993]

My max was 335 (I weighed 220). I am 170 as of an hour ago. I work out with 185-225 now. If I could guess, 225 about 13-15 times if I am fresh????
