done 60kgs at my peak, could do 6 reps and then fail. could probably focus and lift more now, but that's good for my weight, power to weight ratio is effective. i weigh 70kgs so i could nearly bench my own body - once!

    54 reps of 790lbs

    Whats with the whole "what can you bench *macho man grunt*" question anyways? What does it prove? That you've over worked in one certian area? That you can't walk with your arms at your sides like every other human being?

    benching's easy. the shoulder press - now that's a man's weight. i can't lift 20keys on that very easily - you soon sap off strength. i can curl 40keys with 2 arms. what's that like - im a skinny bloke, but i really like endorphins.

    Top for bench was 65kg for 10 reps. Shoulder press (is that military press?) top was 40kg for 8 reps. Now, squats and deadlifts, they're manly lifts... *grrr* :p

    Bench press: 15kg 4 lots of 12 reps
    Bench pull: 30kg 4 lots of 20 reps
    Shoulder press: 30lbs 4 lots of 12 reps

    (Leg press is far easier - I can do 120lbs 5 x 20 reps. I have killer calves!)

    Enough. Well, it was enough when I last went to the gym properly about a month ago. It's probably bugger all now. sigh.

    That's pretty impressive...

    Best ever deadlift was 110kg for 10. Reckon I could have probably done 150kg for 1 though. Deadlifts make me feel sick :(

    I used to be able to do 80 for a few reps, no way could I do that now, Ive not been regular gyming for about a year, after I started going boxing again twice a week. Now the boxing season is finished for the sumer (apart from sunday morning which Ive only made it to once) I have neglected to go back to the gym, no exersize for about 5 weeks, shit I realy need to start going back. Would be struggeling to do 50 kg for 5 reps now I recken.l

    The real question is, what score can you get on an arcade punch bag?

    I will never forget the time when i 999'd it. The screen filled up full of 9's, i think it was because i punched so hard, others are convinced the machine is faulty.

    As for bench press, im not sure what i can lift, i do not go to a gym and i only have 40kg worth of weights at home.

    No those Archade punch bags are such a load of bollox I dont mean to sound boastfull but Im fairly large and have been doing Boxing for a number of years Im realy not much good medioca for a casual ameture, but I can deliver a knock out punch that would put nearly anybody down, (straight right long lead up, hips, shoulders and back leg go into it) of course this takes time to deliver so not much use for a fight, but it scores very low on the archade punchbag. what scores high is a snappy hook delivered side on to the bag angled upwards, which is still quite hard not as hard as the "knock out punch" but it scores much higher.
    It works on spead not power and angleing your punches upwards produces a higher score, as does the totaly lame laughably funny patheric type punch that twats deliver out side of nightclubs, when they pull their fist back and punch. IF there was an archade punghbag that was like padding on a wall (like in rockt IIII is it with the russian guy training he punches a sensor thats just on the wall) Then Id score very high.
