Post your all-time 1 rep max bench

[19333lion]

I benched 725 lbs...in outer space!

I usually work out Monday through Friday and sauna for 30 minutes after every workout. I've been doing the standard back/bi's, chest/tri's, legs/shoulders split. I'll do a little abs every day. No cardio (bad feet) other than the occasional power ropes. This has gotten pretty stale.

I'm contemplating switching to just the big exercises (bench, squats, deadlifts, bent-over rows, military press) and skip all the other stuff. I've read you get enough triceps and biceps hitting the big exercises anyway. Anyone try this with success?

That’s absolutely a thing.

50 lbs. Restricted by cardiologist to keep from blowing out my dilated aorta.

Don't know if we are talking about the same issue, but the last couple of years the doctor sends me (bi-annually) to the hospital to have the thoracic aortic aneurysm (bulge) in my chest area measured.

310lbs while weighing around 185/90

but it was my last set of a workout. Never actually tried to just to do a max weight one time
