Question: What's your max bench press!?

Now I'm just working on gaining muscle mass!. In your answer, please list your height age and weight!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
That's a good figure for your age but remember bench press is only one of many exercises and therefore not a true indication of your overall strength!. Squats, deadlifts, military press, bent-over row are all equally as important as bench press!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I'd say the deadlift would be a more accurate test of overall strength but in terms of upper body; bench press is by far the best!.
Personally: I'm 17, 6'0 and 175 lbs!. I can bench 100kg/220lbs, although the weights i use don't exceed that amount so i guess i'll never know for sure untill i join an actual gym!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I agree with the bald guy bench press is overrated!.More than 50% of people dont even hit the chest when bench pressing and it only measures the strength of the upperbody!.

My bench is 220 hitting the chest and 250 without it

Deadlift max 315!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Age 46 and I bench 315 for 4 But I also squat 405 and dead lift 315!. Don't be one of those guys that are made fun of by only doing bench!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

The bench press is overrated as a test of strength!. How about how much can you deadlift or how much can you do a one handed snatch!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
