New PB on Bench Press... It is good info but also ON makes a great point above also. The thing is Ive always had a strong friend to allow me to push out max to failure or on lighter sets just gone to full failure and do a situp/stomach scraper i can em. Ie a 70kg set to failure you just throw the weight forward and sit up letting it scrape down your abs/core and sit on legs all done. Mind you attempting a 1 or 2 even 4 rep max i wouldnt have done that lol . My mate was only 63kg and used to attempt 74kg 1rep maxs on the bench press when he couldnt get em- he did the situp but he had an extremely strong core and lower back for his size and weight. Used to punch incredibly hard too for a 63kg man 5ft 11 could bench 99kg for 1rep at his strongest helped him bulk up to 69kg but it didnt last -ecto for ya... ZAC

New PB on Bench Press... How much does a smith machine bar add? I've been doing inclines on there the last 2 weeks and haven't added myself
New PB on Bench Press... they vary you really need one of those pulling measurement devices to see how much force in kg is required to make it move. If if all the bars weighed the same there will be some resistance along its rails too. Our gym tested our one and said it was 7kg.
