How much can you bench press?

Wonder if Roger can bench Mirka? Or at least perform push-ups with her on his back?

lol who knows... federer looks like he has uber lower body and core strength...

I benched 50 kilos (110 pounds) half a year ago... have nevr trained and it wasnt my maximum possible

132 is pretty light. How tall are you? Are you sure you don't want to
gain any weight?

funny how things change. I'm around 5'11"-6' and you can disregard that statement about not gaining any weight. I weigh 136 now and have gone up to 190 but have COMPLETELY plateaued both in the weight gaining and the bench increasing. About a week after that post, I got up to 190 and just have been stuck here ever since. I'm trying to vary my workout by focusing a bit more on higher reps and slowly increasing the weight instead of my usual pyramid up and down chart, but I just feel so... stuck :/ It really sucks.

Workout (MWF): bench 3x8 normal + 2x6 wide grip, military press 3x8, curls 3x8, dips 2x25, chin-ups to failure.

I coulda sworn I saw published 600lbs benches from the official 165lbs weight category but maybe I was mistaken. However, the listed records for 275lbs weight category only show the record being in the 700s but we know there have been 800+ and I think even 900lbs benches!

Here is an 860lbs bench: http://youtube.com/watch?v=Vpu4smDMigY

That is the funniest video I've ever seen!!

The bench is pretty useless, but how much can you snatch ?

Weight:123
Bench Max: 135
Bench 10x: 100

I'm pretty weak, though I'm only 14. I don't really try to test my limits.
