the old "how much can you bench" question - Ausbb

joshcore · 09-01-2009, 05:19 PM

when answering this question what is the most accurate answer; is it:

1. the most you can lift in 1 or 2 reps

or

2. what you normally lift during a typical workout

????

I think the most accurate answer will be:

Bout Tree Fiddy

Only 14 year olds ask that question for bragging rights.

But I suppose if you had to, it's for 1RM (how much you do one rep of). If most people ask me I tell them to grow up, but if they're asking in relation to training I'll tell them the weight and reps

This reminds me of the old question, "how many FPS can your computer get in quake?" although that is probably showing my age.

I'm currently doing 70 kg for 10 reps.

Knowing how much you can bench doesnt really tell you much.

1. None of your effing beeswax
2. Is it a competition? (say it sarcastically for effect)
3. 10kg`s more than the person asking you and watch them slink away
4. If it is a legit question from a training partner of PT ask them which one they mean.
Pretty simple really.
