This is my first time going for a max out with Reverse Grip style Benchpress. For those wondering, I am stronger using the regular grip….which means with regular grip I am capable of 300+ lbs. I am going to shoot for 300 lbs on my reverse grip bench. Once I do that I will certainly be able to bench 315 again with the regular grip.
The most bench presses of a person with a specially designed bench with a combined weight of 106.28 kg (234 lb 5 oz), is 121 times in one minute and was achieved by Steve Lousich (New Zealand) on the set of NZ Smashes Guinness World Records at the Sylvia Park shopping mall in Auckland, New Zealand , on 25 July 2009.
Several people have been injured or killed in the gym recently lifting weights, such as Stefan Johnson of USC, correct weight lifting technique form can help avoid injury or death. Watch as Blaze Driscoll demonstrates the proper way to hold the barbell when bench pressing. Proper alignment will give you stronger lifts, more strength, more power.
1-19-2012 ~10 weeks into WSB (~188lbs.) Spotter HAD to stick them hands in there! Honestly though.. I really think I had the press. I will be using 330 as my new training max, but although I think I had it 100% on my own, we won’t call that a clean rep.
right now I can do around 6 reps at 165 lbs. I’m 160 lbs. I’ve never tried to see how much I can bench, but I know I can do 115.

I’m all about losing weight but maintaining my strength at the same time.
