apparently you have to bench your own body weight for max reps. think the winner last week did 53 reps.

If working on body and character doesnt cost you something its woth noting. If criticism is all that proceed out of your mouth then know that is how you feel about yourself and depicts the health of your soul.

To you it may look like I just did a push-up... But in fact, I just bench-pressed the world.

Kinda figures that one of those scrawny fitness type dudes would would do that - the winning dude almost did double as many reps as the guys who came second and third. Still a great many reps :ohmy:

IF they at least used a power to weight ratio it would have been much more fair towards the bigger guys, neh Von

They should make weight categories so everyone has a chance.

Would a formula like the following make sense to choose a winner for such a comp:

{weight benched(kg) / weigh of contestant(kg)} x total reps

Ok, but now in all fairnes, Clifford who won this benchpress competition is a double amputee who weighs around 45KG. So I wouldn't worry too much about never being able to bench my own body weight for 50 odd reps lol.

I remember when I first joined a gym and slapped a measly 40KG :whistle: onto the bar. Turned into the most embarrassing day ever when I couldnt lift it up off my chest and got stuck. :lol:

you think that's embarrassing I know 17 year old guys who think their animals for curling 12's....it's a disgrace....if your starting out maybe its still acceptable but after a year if your still using the same weight its time for some juice.
