Bodyweight Bench press for reps

On a standard flat bench load the bar up with your bodyweight rounded to the highest 5 lbs......for instance if you weigh 207lbs load the bar with 210....if you 201 lbs load the bar to 205 etc..and be honest with your weight fellas...once in the bench press position unrack the weight and lower the bar to your chest and press it up, each rep MUST touch your chest and go to nearly full if not full extension to count. NO HALF REPS!!! Do as many reps as you can then post your score......there is no weight adjustment because everyone will be benching their own bodyweight...Also, Video is a must. You have 3 days from the time you post a score to post a video if there is no video posted for your score in that time frame i will reset you score to 0....good luck everyone!

How many reps are you seeing as the average out of interest?? Be interesting to see the correlation in size. I got a feeling a smaller guy could push more than a bigger guy.

I wanna give this a try...I weight 260lbs which is 118kg. I reckon I could press that 10-12 times maybe even 15 on a good day. Is there a deadline for this?

My target is to press 400lbs (182kg) by June!
