TBH, there is absolutely no reason a healthy US male shouldn't be able to bench press 135 lbs for reps. It's honestly really pathetic of a guy can't bench at least 135 lbs. There are so, sooooo many people out of shape in this country. 100% of healthy men should be able to do it with ease.

I did 60 reps at 135 last week. Max reps at 135 is part of my program.

Really? Is this a program you purchased/subscribed to, or did you come up with it on your own?

What kind of changes did you see when you switched to super high reps (like 1x60) at bench? Did you see growth? Strength increase?

I'm really curious about that. Bc on bench, I still generally stay in the 5x5 or 4x6 range. or get crazy and do a 3x5/3x3/3x1 for my bench workout.

I may go do max at 135 and report back.

From trainer but we are working on breaking through a higher weight I am just stuck on. He has been trying a number of things. This is not an every week. We did this and did other things the next time we did bench.

Gotcha. Breaking through those plateaus can be very difficult. Good luck!
