Benching 135lbs, How Many Times?

I can get six for each arm, that’s good right?

RSU, you are repping 315 for two or three right? Finish your workout up with 225 for reps. I hit flat bench today and it was the last exercise after a few other compound movements. I hit 225 for fifteen on my first and ten on my second set. This was after slow temp DB incline bench 80 for three sets of eight. Don’t mess around with 135 other then for a eight to ten rep warm up.

The 315 thread was because it was a 1 rep PR. I began laying off flat to save my shoulders but I went back to it this week. I wouldn’t consider the 135 set part of my workout, I did the set just for fun (as was the intention of this thread!). I don’t know why people act like it is somehow harmful or counterproductive…

Then my apologies RSU and to answer your original question, I have no idea on my 135 max for reps haven’t done it or felt the need to up to this point. I agree it’s not counter productive just not seen as a bench mark for most.

Take care,

…?

Well, if its not productive, which I can’t see how it could be, it would be considered counter productive unless you’re still in a highschool PE class.

If a person can bench 300+ theres no reason for them to toss around 135lbs. The reason why people react negatively towards this lift is b/c its weak and out of place. Its like someone asking you how many times you can curl a 30lb dumbbell. You kinda want to shake your head in disgust and leave.

The “T” in T-Nation does stand for testosterone right?
