    Home gym? I have a home gym with dumbbells from 3 pounds to 40. I recently bought a pullup bar+dips and pushup station which is awesome. And also a max 100 pound barbell + plates and a 60 dollar bench. I have to upgrade my bench and barbell to Olympic. What do you have in your personal gym?

    Max 210 lbs. Dropped from 240 after 1 year hiatus. Impressive? I know.
     
  7. I tore my pec a year and a half ago but continued working out on it.
    6 months ago I was repping 225 lbs (5 times) for bench.
    I had surgery to repair my torn pec 5 months ago.
    I am now at like 115 lbs. It's a little depressing but a month ago (when my doctor cleared me to start back at the gym) I could hardly bench the bar so I'm hoping progress in recovery will start getting faster. I'm hitting the gym 6 times a week now and have physical therapy twice a week.

    I'm glad i'm not alone. Thank you. You know how to soothe grown mans' souls.
     
  17. I do dumbell presses bc I dont lift w others so I don't want to bench without a spotter. I can do dumbbell presses with like 55lbs dumbells w it lasting to 12 reps. I haven't tried to go higher yet. When you say how much can you bench are you talking about multiple reps or just 1-2 reps and then you're done? Bc there's a BIIIGGGGG difference
     
  18. Benching is overrated anyways. You can cheat easily bc you use your legs, arms, etc. Not just your chest obviously.

    I bench 85kg (about 190 Pounds) - 5 Sets, 5 Reps each time.. Never tried how much i can do 1 Rep with.
    Started with 25kg (66 Pounds) :D

    Note: Leave your ego outside the gym.. The weight doesn't matter, just feel the pain in your muscles ;)
