I maxed at 160...but that's all my weight set at home has so I might be able to do more. How about you guys?

back when i did such things i could get to about 250....those days are quite long gone, i dont think on the rare occasion that i go i can get 215 all that often.

They way they test is by putting what you think you can do on and get between 3-5 reps......i did 5 on 200 so really my max is higher...but i voted 200.

I'm not a woman and I think benching is gay. (literally, gay people do it to pick up other gay people)
There are women who bench. This whole topic is flawed.

In my weight class we are making out
Last tues. bench, I got 200 even
Yesterday. Clean, I got 220
And next tues. Squat, I hope to get 315 or more. I got 300 even last time I maxed which was 12 weeks ago.

Not quite, you are on a seat thing that is attached to some weights (it varies in design) and you push with your legs, it's more designed to strengthen the knees.

Well normally the UK is not considered part of Europe.
(At least, they act like it.)

Probably, like, this wooden bench...
I'm training pretty intense at the moment, though. I recon I might manage an iron / wood mix soon...
And maybe by the start if next year a full wrought iron!

Bench numbers are overrated. As in, severely insignificant to anything.
