Usually when you hit something for as many times as you possibly can (until failure), if you try the same weight for a second set with a regular rest pause between sets, you usually hit that weight half as many times as you did the 1st go. Then for the 3rd set with the same weight, you hit it usually half as many times as you did the 2nd set. I found this to be very true, as have all of my workout partners throughout the years.
So it would look something like: 12 reps, 6 reps, 3 reps
I say 225 is weird because I can hit it almost as many times each set, for all 3 sets. I actually did this last week funny enough.
I hit it 19 times, then 19 times again on the 2nd go, then the last set I hit it 15 times.
I found it very weird that I hit it like that.
I know 19 times is not that much. I found that I'm more of a power guy than a high rep guy. My friend who is a trainer who's max is about 50lbs less than mine can actually hit 225 a few more reps than me. I think he got 25 or something?

Crank said:Yea, how about people post their bodyweighnext to their number of reps as well.
My best:
Body Weight: 175
Bench Press: 225
Number Reps: 5
Thanks,
Of course I haven't lifted weights in 8 months due to some major changes in my life but I'm back and I'm starting to get back into the Irongame that I miss so much.
I'll keep everyone posted on my slow progress. I'm going natty for a good couple months.
