<p>I'm up to about 380. slash 150.</p>

2

<p>about 180-190 when i was lifting but i haven't been lifting for about 4 months</p>

3

<p>I can't even lift the 48 pound bar you put the weights on. </p>

<p>Well, I couldn't during freshman year when I was forced to take gym. I can only assume it's the same, though since I started dancing I've gotten a bit more muscle mass. Maybe I can now, probably I can't.</p>

<p>haha nice nice.</p>

5

<p>i cant lift the bar either lol....</p>

6

<p>I can get up around 225. Everyone's mouths always drop when I work out because I'm 6'1'' but only about 168 (low body fat).</p>

7

<p>haha I'm 5'9, 130, im tryin to gain.</p>

8

<p>5'9, 170. can bench 225 also</p>

9

<p>as much as my testosterone will allow...</p>

10

<p>185...i rarely do the bench press anymore tho....dips are so much better</p>

11

<p>i think push ups are great too, not for pecs but for all around</p>

12

<p>awesome! i thought i was the only person who couldn't do the bar!</p>

13

<p>I can do the bar, with a marshmallow perched at each end :).</p>

14

<p>haha well ellafunt you're a girl</p>

15

<p>I'm such a ***** when it comes to bench. I rep close to 115 (even though I don't work out, pretty bad for a 160lb athlete.)</p>

16

<p>50 lbs at most, it's probably more like 45.</p>

17

<p>More than you'd think for a girl.</p>

18

<p>160, and I weigh around 65 kilos... (in pounds I do not know.)</p>

19

<p>last time i tried my max it was 160 and that was a year ago. Now it is probably 170-180</p>

<p>i've never tried, but how do you improve how much u can bench so much (like a 2 to 1 ratio for the amount u can lift and how much u weigh?) like some ppl are like freakin ants, they weigh around 180 and can lift like... 300</p>
