    I just got back into the gym routine again after taking a month off. I love watching my gym people on youtube posting workout vids, especially you Merk. Love how in every workout vid you go harder and you push yourself. Definitely gets me motivated when i gotta hit the gym.

  • @thefastlanecars8799

    Hey man, got a question I've had for a while. How high in working weight do you think you could go on flat dumbbell bench press? Also what would you think your one rep max could be? I see you doing 120's sometimes but l've never seen 125's or higher. You're one of the strongest guys I've seen on here so I assume you can go pretty heavy. Always wondered, I'm just now touching the 100's myself. Love the information in your videos! (I commented this a couple videos ago but was way late so I didn’t think you’d see!)

    • @JustMerkChannel
      @JustMerkChannel  11 месяцев назад +1

      Hmm, I usually begin most chest sessions with a fly so I don’t have to go as heavy with the working weight on my presses but I think 130 could be a smooth 8-10 for me right now. As for a 1 rep max, man I really don’t know. I’d like to think I’d get close to 400 on bench, so we’ll go with that lol
