I don't really lift much these days but when I do I rarely try to over do it and hit my "1-rep-max". Whats the point?

I weigh about 180-185lbs. and I usually do about 12 reps of 135lbs. and try to go about 3 or four sets in one session.

Also, between reps I alternate to curling 35lb. dumb bells in different motions to hit a wide range of muscles.

I havent lifted since high school. When I did, I maxed out at 325lbs weighing in at 250lbs. My squat was 650lbs.

I weigh 175 lbs.  Right now I do one ten-rep set of 135 lbs followed by two eight-rep sets of 140 lbs. 

I'd like to improve my bench press but I'm content to make slow progress on this particular exercise because it's the only one in my routine with any risk of injury.  I don't like asking people to spot me either.

Nice 650 squat.

A lot of people BS on their bench press #'s by having someone buddy lift with them. I don't barbell bench press anymore because it has a tendency to ruin your shoulders. I bench press 95 lb dumbbells for 5x5.

For most people, there is no point to find your max, but for those that want to build strength it is the basis for their next month of routines.

For example (using round numbers for ease of math), Say you max out at 100lbs. The next week you do 3 sets of 10 at 60% (60lbs), 3 times a week (I did mon, wed, and fri.) Week 2, you do 3 sets of 8 at 70% (70lbs). The third week, you do 3 sets of 7 at 80% (80lbs). And the fourth week you do 3 sets of 6 at 90% (90lbs). You will definitely need a spotter to do this with, because you wont be able to do all the lifts on your own. To start your next cycle, find your new max and repeat the process. That is how I got from benching 135 to 335 in about a year and a half.

I haven't checked my max lately, but I weigh 150-155 lbs. and can do 185 for five reps. Any way, I hate when people ask this b/c frankly I could care less.

I haven't barbell benched forever, but I usually do DB bench.  The most I've put up is two 85lb dumbbells for 5x5.

EDIT: at 150lb. bodyweight
