Tonight I lifted 265 pound on the incline bench press machine 12 times what does that equate in terms of free weights for incline and regular bench pressing?

free weights? just a stab in the dark but probably around 200–220 if I had to guess. impressive none the less. all I know is I do 220 on the incline and I only do about 190–200 with free weights.

thats harder to determine, obviously you wont be able to do as much. It depends a lot on your balance and how strong your surrounding muscles are too. Considering it’s a machine too makes it tougher. How much can you do on the barbell flat bench for your one rep max if you’ve ever attempted? I have a formula in one of my books that can pretty much determine your questions if you give me those answers. It is fairly accurate as well

Wow! I carried a bag of shopping home today so I’m almost a he-man too!
