I'd still frick you up, no matter what you bench.

You linked the bench press page. Did you mean to link the

I use the squat rack to do barbell bicep curls that is pretty fricking elite if you ask me

Now, at my age and weight, I'm barely intermediate.
At my best, about 22 yrs, I was 4 lbs off elite according to that chart.

yeah, that would be the only feasible way for me honestly. i can't fathom adding 50-55 lbs to my max bench.

My max BP was 335 when I weighed 180, but I could feel my shoulder wanting to let go so that was about the upper limit for me physically. I mostly do bodyweight stuff now. You can get plenty strong doing it and it's a lot kinder on the joints.

I'm an Elite tier III super heavy weight lifter.
I can do 30 reps with two of my buddies on each side of the bar.
They're about 300 pounds of pure muscle, so you do the math
I'm currently 6'3 350 lbs and 0% body fat.

I'm in that Elite level, baw
175 and BP 365
Probably should mention that I'm only 5'8 though. Short arms, baw
ETA: Squat is Elite. Deadlift is in the Adv category. Wiener size is Novice though... needs work.

Well, weight lifters don't bench press chief. They only do two movements and neither of those involve benching.
Posted on 12/15/16 at 12:34 pm to Chad504boy
I'm doomed to the intermediate category - just is what it is.
However, I think squat is a better test of true strength. I'm intermediate there, too, but it is what it is.

Claims 38% of the people in my weight class are squatting more than 550lbs.

hey, any of those lifts can be up for discussion. i'm probably most worthy of my bench press, probably not near as strong in some other lifts.
