Blah blah, how much do you bench?
Users viewing topic: & 1 Guest
If your benched a certain amount with help from spotters (all you bro), or with reverse bands, or with limited range of motion, would you go on and give it to non-lifters as your max? 'cos I don't see much difference between that and a shirted bench.

I've been asked that plenty of times. Equally annoying question!
I have to explain "it depends what lift I'm doing". My most common answer is "I've had 21 stone over my head".
I have only been asked this once....told they guy, who then said "how many plates is that?" 
Anything over 3, 3.5 plates and most regular gym rats will think your one of the strongest men in the world!
