How much do you bench?
 

I am between 270-280, can't get above for years.

Weird flex, but ok. Good job. I usually did as much as I weighed max.

The only benching I do is sitting on one in a park while smoking a joint.

Come on, all beta males here?

same but i cunt a4d the joint... :(

Last year I was doing 10-12 reps with 275lbs but I ended up with golfer's elbow and it took almost a year to heal so I stopped doing upper body. I started back this summer and I was struggling with 95lbs for reps. I couldn't believe how weak I got after 1 year of not lifting! But now I'm back to 225 for 12 reps.

5 hours of digging in clay and compacted dirt.

2 hours of swinging an axe.

3 hours of mortar and brick (that shit is heavy).

2-3 hours of ramming a hottie.

carry more bricks in an 8 hour day than any gym rat.

I can bench press my rake and then rake the entire yard.

:2 cents:

You may get a golfer's elbow

Pic or it didn't happen

I don't bench a damn thing. I do a lot of calisthenics, walking and hiking... and joint smoking.

i'm just learning brickwork. its pretty fun. i want to build a tower but my wife says it will collapse and i'll die.

I can bench like 280 max but I can shovel snow for 10+ hours

Try one of these:

I got tennis elbow from I think doing hammer curls, and this sorted it out. It's literally just a twistable piece of rubber, you hold it in front of you vertically in both hands, the hand of the injured arm at the bottom with palm facing toward you, the other hand at the top with palm facing away. Then you stretch your arms out in front gripping the bar and you will find that it twists as you do that and you end up with a lot of torsional tension that your hands have to resist. Then you just twist the hand of the injured arm forward to slowly release the tension. You do this about 15 times in a row, every day for a couple of weeks. Pain should be gone by then.

Yeah, no way I can do hammer curls or any curls where my wrists are supinated. That causes it to flare up. The only curls I can do now are concentration curls. I should note I originally got my golfer's elbow from doing burpees, not lifting. I think the amount of volume I was doing caused it. I grabbed that Flexbar so I'll give that a shot, Thanks!

Okay the technique is slightly different for golfer's elbow for the flexbar but similar idea - it's working the affected tendon by stretching it

Thats some great strength.

I had problems with one elbow, but training forearms helped. Both sides, up and down. Most injuries and pain come from uneven strength/muscle. For example shoulders, many people have problems with them due to the fact they don't train them evenly...and forget the back part and rotator cuffs.

Use to do that a long time ago - now I'm happy if I can carry the box with the christmas tree up from the basement.

Wow thats cool!!! Nice work.

I exercise a lot, more than ten trips a day from my desk to the kitchen fridge to get bottles of beer . . . :stoned

about a buck fiddy

your bodyweight?

kg or lbs?
1 rep?
unquipped or equipped?
natural or on roids?

Greets

Flat bench press 150kg (330 pounds)

I stopped doing it a while ago since it puts too much pressure on my joints.

I have replaced it with a decline bench press. Ever since then, I have had no pain in my joints and the results have been great.

Pounds, of course...I am still just an IT guy. :1orglaugh

Bodyweight 190-200 and just a regular bench, no extra equipment.

Natural...since I do sports for longetivity and health.

Did you notice any other changes? Visually?

Love to see people working on themselves. :)

Me too . . .

Visually I think my upper chest looks way better now.

So for me, decline and incline bench presses are working just fine with great results.
