315 is exponentially harder than 225 and is actually a pretty rare max. Should be at least 20 bucks/rep for 315.

[@light-qe3gv]

lol I would have walked away with 1000 dollars

[@Jet-ok7qm]

@light 1000 bucks is 50 reps of 315... so your 1rm on bench is close to 840. 😆 🤣. Ok.

Agreed, at my local gyms in the UK, barely anyone can do 225+. americans are built different :D

[@AuthenticGadzooks]

It's definitely not that common, but not exactly rare either. I see someone doing 225+ once a week or so at my local gym. I occasionally see a dude who must be like 19-21 years old pushing 265lb for reps (and he's pretty short/lean). I don't know how the hell he does it... he makes it seem easy too.

[@chonzen1764]

225 is clearly the money range. As a 415 bencher I can get 7-9 reps at 315 but I can get over 30 when I test my pro-bench. Little truth about pro bench its as much of a speed test as it is a strength test the faster you bench the more you will get. Everyone fails at around 30-50 seconds no matter how many reps they perform. Tips for pro-bench #1 Do a heavy single 95% of your 1RM first. #2 Speed speed speed no controlled descent waste no energy on the eccentric phase. #3 Bounce the fuck out of it. This aint a power lifting meet. #4 Arch as much as you possibly can. #5 Take as wide a grip as the rack will allow.

[@humbletruth116]

The red Hoodie came down halfway. That's easy to do when your not adding tension. The hard part doesn't start until you come down to your chest to come back up

[@GerardoHernandezF87M2]

I agree, he was even told to go lower, I think he would have got 13 clean

[@mkhedart0mt0avari]

His reps were mostly fine. The first four or so needed to come down just a little more but he corrected pretty quickly. Absolutely not just 'halfway'.

[@clara-ye9jm]

my trainer always told me it was dangerous to bounce it on the chest so just get the arms at 90 degrees and that's fine, it actually increases the time under tension.

[@jms855]

I've gone to two gyms... A commercial gym where the average was 80kg's. 120 was on the good side. Also used to gym at a bodybuilding dungeon, a sweat job, a gym that's in a bad part of town, industrial part that hasn't changed in culture or equipment from the time that Arnold Schwarzenegger visited in the 70's. I used to train my harder days in Powerlifting there - average bench was 140kg, 170 on the better side. I'm female. My raw bench was around 105kg, much more in equipped. I used to train there with my ex. Good times, good memories. Glad it's over though and I retired from PL. Anyway, it really depends on the kind of gym you go to, to get the good numbers. I miss seeing guys train for powerlifting and doing 220kg like it's sliding on a wet floor. That was awesome.

The “all the way up” command on bench is kinda rough. In order to maintain good form when benching for reps you do not wanna over press to the point where you lose tightness in your shoulders. I thought all these lock outs were honestly fine and telling ppl to over press screws up their form.
