New lifetime PR 130lb DB on flat for 6 clean reps.
Video comming next week.
Whats the heaviest DB’s you’ve used.
Hit the 140’s on an incline and let me say that is seriously freaked me out. I don’t usually train in this manner, but it was me and my buddy in an empty gym one Sunday afternoon. I was very used to using a barbell, but he was a dumbell guy, so I went along with it. 100’s? easy. 120’s? oddly easy as well. 130’s, 135’s, 140’s were all they had, and at that point we were both sort of exchanging WTF-looks with each other -lol. Got about 5 reps, and when I dropped 'em, it sounded like I dented the floor.

That’s fucking unreal.
What was the angle of the incluie 45?
The gym I go to has 150’s, but the 130’s are so fucking big they are awkward to use…well granted I dont have a decent traning partner, just skinny fat trainers for the awakward lift off.
wear elbow sleeves and very strong wrist braces please. I obliterated my wrist once doing heavy flat DB press
Yeah, typical 45 degree angled bench. This was the year before I started competing and really training like a bodybuilder. So like I’ve always mentioned in the past, I was always naturally fairly strong, but it took smart training to actually develop my physique, not simply heavy weights. For the record, I don’t think I ever went that heavy again. In hindsight, if I had been competing already, it would have been fairly stupid to risk an injury just to see how heavy I could go.

I was regularly using the 125s (heaviest at my gym) for 8-12 reps on slight incline when I weighed a lot more. I feel I could have kept progressing but honestly, getting those damn things into position really took a lot out of me and I was stuck at 8-12 reps for months before I decided to switch it up.
115 for 10. Highest my gym goes :\
130x3 for flat
120x5 for incline
After 110, the DB’s in my gym jumps 10lb. So I have to get stronger with 130s in order to jump to 140s. The heaviest DB is 150 and I’ve been setting my sight on it for a while 8)
Incline DB Press is my fav chest builder!
I put up 120 lb DB’s a few years ago. The gym I train at now only goes up to 100 
i only do DB floor press now 
132 x 5

I always have a roll of duct tape and tape 1-5lb plate to each d.bell when I want an increase that isn’t in the rack.

Where do you tape it? Sounds like it would cause weight imbalances.

x2 that’s pretty awesome. My current gym only goes to 100’s so I’m actually going to try this.
The most I’ve done is 110’s for a set of 5.
Lol I would love to have seen the looks on peoples faces when you pulled out a roll of duct tape from your gym bag!!
170 flat db presses at metro for 7 hard as hell reps.
150s at Gold’s for 12. With a proper slap on the head you’d be amazed how fired up one can get lol.
Which metro? I moved recently, but used to lift at Metroflex in Plano.
Currently trying to correct some shoulder problems. Have only been able to do decline for quite sometime. Got 120’s for 6 on decline. Re-learning how to bench with my chest been topping out at 90’s now. #weakness
135sx5 FLAT (triggered bursitis in R. shoulder attempting to setup with 140s.)
115sx8 INCLINE
100sx8 SHOULDER PRESS (seated) / 85sx5 (standing)
