Odidnetne Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Well, with clothes off (so it's my bodyweight +/- 2), I bench pressed 183 for 3 reps, but 179 pounds for 8 reps. (I currently weigh 182 - 183 with clothes on, last I checked). This feels great for me because I'm very bottom heavy (I'm a fairly fit person walking on a pair of tree trunks), and got frustrated when people told me I should be able to bench my own bodyweight.

Odidnetne Posted January 26, 2007 Author Share Posted January 26, 2007 Nice job, Ed!! You bench naked? No, but there has to be some guessing, I don't weigh myself nude either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 If you don't weight yourself nude does that mean you weight your clothes before you wear them??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

veganmomma Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 That is a great goal to have accomplished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 I make it a point to be nude as often as possible. Great job Ed! Soon you'll be pressing over 200lbs. It will go up and up pretty quickly depending on how you train. All the best man. Get after it, clothed or not! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odidnetne Posted January 27, 2007 Author Share Posted January 27, 2007 How come it's okay for Rob to say "I weigh "X" pounds in clothes" but as soon as I say it everyone thinks I bench in the nude? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MontanaVegan Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 How come it's okay for Rob to say "I weigh "X" pounds in clothes" but as soon as I say it everyone thinks I bench in the nude?Just the way your original statement can be interpretted.with clothes off ... I bench pressed 183 for 3 reps congrats on the lift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odidnetne Posted January 27, 2007 Author Share Posted January 27, 2007 It's called semantics. My bodyweight (without clothes) is 179 - 180. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelhobson Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 So, you bench press nude? Cool dude! Watch that gnarled bar though, could cause some nasty injuries. I could once bench my weight, doubt I could do it now, but I'm considering getting back in to it. Congrats mate! Major milestone passed! On to bigger and better things, you're awesome.
