Gents, I finally did it. Felt great.

By the time I leave here I think I'll have a 520lbs bench, 650ish DL, and 600lbs squat (torn groin x2)...

feeling good. doing the bull dance...

Powerlifting is the shit. I'll post pictures if I can figure this thing out...

Congratulations! Very few men have the ability to reach 500 and even fewer actually accomplish it. My best was a 405 while juiced to the max and with a bench shirt at a body weight of 195. Unfortunately a torn rotator cuff has put me back down in the low 300's.

I weigh 260lbs. I've been powerlifting for about 6 months since I've been in Iraq. I've been a weightlifter/bodybuilder for about 10 years, though. Just never really pushed my strength hard because I was always hurting myself.

Thanks for the responses. I didn't sleep much because I was pretty jacked, but I still feel good today.

I am a commander here, and I have the strongest unit on the camp.

Once I get the pic's and video I'll try to post.
