using free weights, how much can you bench with a friend supporting(i.e. incase you drop it)???
i usually do 55-65kg(depending on how strong i feel) 7-10 reps then rest. is that normal? or weak? i see thos insane ppl doing like 90-100kg and shouting after every rep

Teach me how u bench so much

Anyway don't worry about insane people... Why do you need to do so much for? Do enough to maintain body balance for other sports. -

Normal, weak or not depends on how long you have trained, your body mass, your limits and etc.Originally posted by unclebutcher:using free weights, how much can you bench with a friend supporting(i.e. incase you drop it)???

A good gauge for me is to push myself to the very limit and make sure i can't raise my arms above my shoulder after training.
Point is to tear your muscle as much as you can, so that when your body repairs the micro tears, you will gain muscle mass.
and don't jump around weights. Just keep to 85% of your 1-rep weight. And re-evaluate your 1-rep weight every once in a while. -

i have the problem with balancing...
i cant seem to balance free weights...
only can do on bench press machines -
depends on body weight too... if you're 100kg and u bench 50.. then

Free weights is the best. When u r trying to balance the weights, u r working on some special type of muscle that I dunoe its technical name.
anyway im my prime max i can only do ard 80kg(inclusive bar)
i usually stick to 60kg...
i wan a strong chest.powerlifting is a totally diff ting. -
My best record is 75kg for shoulder press using a thick bar...Originally posted by unclebutcher:using free weights, how much can you bench with a friend supporting(i.e. incase you drop it)???

ya. good thing abt bench pressing is that you work both your arms equally and your chest too.Originally posted by No9:Free weights is the best. When u r trying to balance the weights, u r working on some special type of muscle that I dunoe its technical name.

waa so much.. 70 to 80kg that include the bar itself does it count on the each side weight or juz one side or a total weight???? I do gym once awhile but usually do resistance training after a long run.

one arm is much stronger than the other\.Originally posted by uncle_abc:thats very powerful..

i have that problem too. thats why im bench pressing now. i can do free weight 25kg up and down with my right. can do max 10 kg with my left. cuz i've been bowling for 5 years and all those years of carrying a 7 kg bowling ball do add up to an unbalanced bicep/tricep/forearm(most obvious difference) -
30? did u add the metal bar weight? 30 even my class girls can doOriginally posted by cApitaland: i can oni bench 30 on a good day with the power rack... -
haha i cant do 70. it includes everything. both side weights and metal bar 20 kgOriginally posted by KaYaBrEaD:waa so much.. 70 to 80kg that include the bar itself does it count on the each side weight or juz one side or a total weight????

oh damn. i meant 30 a side lol. without bar.

My max was 20kg metal bar with 27.5kg each side.... can only manage a few repsOriginally posted by unclebutcher:i use school gym...the metal bar is 20 kg. so i use 4 10KG weights and my friend to help. and quite lousy liao. some of my friends can do 80-100.
But going to gym as the only exercise seems darn stupid... Just like a machine, doing the same things over and over again...
