For those of you who lift - how much can you bench press? Do you care?
I benched 235 a few months ago and would like to make 250 someday.

I haven't maxed on the bench in quite a while but according to the calculator here :: http://exrx.net/Calculators/OneRepMax.html I can bench about 205 for my 1RM. Pretty sad I know.  My bench sucks.
Edited to add that I'd like to get up to 250 lbs. by the end of the year.

Maxed out at 175 a year ago
Since I don't lift with a spotter, I keep my weight pretty low. Right now I am benching 130.
Doesn't really matter, though

Calculator was pretty accurate ph. I could do 205 lbs 5-6 reps and it said my max would be between 231 and 238.

Yeah it is pretty accurate based on my 125x10 it says my max should be 167.

I did 285 in college, but that was a long time ago.
