This is traditionally, a 1 rep max. How much can you bench press for 1 repetition with good form. Finding this weight can be risky if you are not used to bench pressing. Pick a weight which you can do 5-6 times then gradually add more weight to attempt a 1 rep max. Be sure to have spotters available.
