man, there sum big weights your pushing. I dont press at all coz the gym is too expensive. I have done it though, but i'd say I can press about 40. Compared to the numbers above that sounds low, but im toned and conditioned real well. Im a boxer, and I could do endless press-ups and sit-ups and I work out with dumbells and barbells. I dont think I could press my own weight, thats about 65/70kgs. If I get a job I might buy a bench but for now the manual shit keeps me in fighting shape.  Impressive weights your doing tho lads. Keep it up.

lol, im starting to think that I have estimated by bench press limit wrong. I mean, im have a pretty muscular physique, but by the numbers i guessed compared to these it seems your all lifting 5 times what i thought i could!?! And Id be considered among the top "range" of fitness here. So i guess i predicted wrong or you guys are some huge fit bastards.

How about another one...how many press-ups can you do before taking a break (of the same technique),

Me, I could do about 50 reps before the shaking kicks in. I could do about 4 sets like that

Yeah i know what ya mean. Some people are broader and shit and put on muscle and fat easier. Im about medium build but its virtually impossible for me to get fat. Even with the dumbells and press ups and shit its taken three years to get where im at in terms of muscles and shit. Your right, boxing and weightlifting concentrate on different things but Id still like to get to the point where I have the knock-out power to match speed and conditioning.

Maybe you have some tips optical? How would you go about increasing muscular strentgh and size using home equipment etc?? Or should I save up for a gym? I have the basic foundations and im sculpted and shit, just need to add the beef to it now.

Of course...

..its the way you train that means good  progress not the equipment you train on...dont need all the flashy stuff just need to shock your body.
Mix it up a lil change the way you train... do pyramids, compunds sets, reverse pyramids, tri sets,

also change the focus...flat bench press , decline bench , incline bench all of these will work on a slightly different region of the chest...do flies its one i always reccommend...straight arm pullovers to open the ribcage...dont forget bar dips classic but well worth it perhaps for that finishing exhaustion exercise to really push your limitations...

...with weight training its simple ..you can go light / heavy dependant on how you train...you can start off heaviest then gradually go to lightest untill fatigue this is a brilliant variation on the norm...if you aint feeling it then you arent doing any good (wasting your time)
if you want to quickly build bulk then go heavy for something like 6-8 rep max in a set for 4 (ish) sets not including warm up sets (very important)...rip those muscles (in a good sense)
 
ie The Flat Bench Press. 2 Warm-up Sets. 4 Working Sets.
(20 repetitions of 10% of the maximum weight that can be lifted once (1rep max)
20 repetitions of 20% of 1rep max.)   <<---- Warm up sets
10 repetitions of 50% of 1 rep max.
8 repetitions of 70% of 1 rep max.
6-8 repetitions of 80% of 1 rep max.
3-4 repetitions of 90% of 1 rep max

You need to work out what your 1rm is to effectively build a good programme suited for you!

Dont forget resting time between each set you perform...try to keep to the same time and gradually reduce this over a period of a few weeks.

Also the exercise that will work compound muscle groups ie one arm row / front delt raises / pull downs using a v-grip on a lat machine

Thanks for the advice man.

I think my best option at the moment is to invest some money in it. Firstly I have no bench, so I cant bench press and I feel that I'm missing out on a huge range of exercises. Secondly, the barbell i have only came with weights which amass to 26kgs and ya cant do much with that with regard to presses.

I understand what you mean by work out sessions where ya dont feel it. I find some days Im just working out for the sake of it and not putting the effort in. I also find that it's alot easier to work out with a mate. Anyway, Ill take your advice and see what i can do with what Ive got.

Thanks again man

WOman...


...and you misunderstood me then..read all i wrote...i can give you a prog with those weights that would test you...
...not just about the weight you use wut the degree n type of exercise you do!
you can get some class flies done with 2 x 13kg dumbbells its down to how you train...do bent over /reverse flies...much you can do with perseverance n imagination.

yeah, im with you on that, ive been customising my own workouts like that for a while(though im running out of variations). But when i read through what you said you mentioned flat and inclined presses etc, and i just thought maybe itd be worth my while investing in one.
And when you mentioned that you do for instance 80% of max weight, i thought maybe i should get more weights. But anyway if you have any imaginative (or just effective) ways of working out with what ive got, drop them here.
By the way, what are pyramids, reverse pyramids and compounds?? And are press ups just as good as bench presses?

Again, thanks a million (wo)man ;)

132 kgs max, or 290 lbs approx.  Also did 225 lbs for a set of 12 (which qualifies me in the combine for the nfl, lol).  If I could add to what optical was sayin, it's important to remember that bench is a chain excercise, meaning that your upper back (traps, rear delts, lats, rhomboids) need to be stronger to lower the weight effectively (many neglect this) as well as your chest, front delts, and triceps.  There are also many other components to being a good bencher, if that's what you are going for.  Check out www.t-mag.com for excellent info on weight training and powerlifting derived techniques.

^^ Thought you might get in on this honey...


...show em a pic of your effort ;) lol


Yeah for sure working the surrounding muscle groups (lats, traps, delts etc have to be done as well)


also try muscle&fitness ... good mag available in uk and usa

theres alot of help you can get nowadays....just dont get bogged down in the stupidity ie performance enhancing substances, & exercises that will do more harm than good (ie cause injury / weakness in other areas - muscolo / skeletal...never do anything you dont know everything about !
