For muscle size: high weight, low reps, rest low reps, rest... Use as much weight as possible, so much that you can only lift it a couple times. For muscle toning, endurance and general health, high reps, shoot for 20 or more before the muscle is fatigued.
Bench Press, Squats, Dead lifts are all very good workouts to gain muscle fast.
500lbs
Larry Allen from the Dallas Cowboys holds the biggest bench press outside of power lifting. He has bench pressed 700lbs.

Less than 1%. The average male that doesn't lift weights would be lucky to bench 140-150 lbs one time. 250 lbs is a serious bench press, even for the physically fit and regular exercisers. Dedication to the bench press, time, and proper diet is needed for this kind of lift, and even then most guys will not reach this weight on the bench...
incline dumbbell press best chest exersize to do
I don't know who can bench press the most but former lineback Keith Davis of the New York Giants could bench 515 pounds. Linebacker Larry Allen claims a 700 pound bench press, though i would consider it an assisted lift. I would believe he bench press something around the low 600's legitamately though. I would also assume that most professional linebackers can probably bench press between 450 and 550 pounds, seeing as how their jobs depend on them shoving 320 pound behemoths around....

Larry Allen has bench pressed 700lbs under powerlifting regulations;and is known to have the highest bench press in all sports. this answer is factually innacurate. The reputed 700 pound bench press was a wide-grip, shallow-range, ASSISTED bench press and did not adhere to powerlifting regualtions. It quite simply was an illegitamate lift. Drop the number buy almost 100 pounds and it becomes a possibility...
