Since the fitness thread has a lot of people working out i Thought this might be interesting. See who the machomen of tl.net are!
Okay so we know the 3 basic weightlifting techniques are bench press/squats/deadlift. So post here your weight, and your max weight for each of the 3 :p
Also if you want you can add how much you can normally lift(3 sets of 8-12).
p.s. I've decided I want to buy a bench so I can do some weight training at home (I usually go to the gym). So I was wondering if anybody could lead me in the right direction on what I should get or any good deals.
I've decided I need an adjustable bench for bench press and incline bench press but I also need something I can use for squats. I don't have a spotter, so maybe an adjustable rack?

how to measure how much you bench on the internet:
1. see how much you can lift
2. add 200 pounds

Lol true, well i hope people will be truthful and if they can truely bench press my house as they claim in x17 provide some video proof plz ;p

I haven't worked out in a few months, but I was benching 230
I'm 5 foot 7, fairly built, in decent shape. I wasn't one of those really serious people who ingest lots of whey and split meals into 6 a day and whatever.
As for what to buy...a bench is a bench. You don't even need a bench to do a benchpress.

First time I tried benching a long time ago, I benched like 100 pounds. Haven't tried again since.

Now? 165 lbs bench, which I think is like 75 kilos or so. Nothing special...gotta start hitting the weight again...

If you're using an olympic size 7 foot bar that is 45 lbs. on it's own...
Are you saying you could only do the bar when you started out or the bar + 40-50 lbs?

I benched 180 lbs in the summer. Then I dislocated my shoulder. T_T
