Well FUCK!!!
Screwball's digital camera screwed up, I cannot find my digital, and don't know how to work it when I do have it, and I forgot to turn the camcorder on for the successful 525.
Other than that everything was peachy.
Thanks to Deceiver for posting the pics.

Bench bro your welcome once again I wanna thank you and the rest of the guys tellin me to gain weight, That's made me SOOO much stronger I mean in my eyes it has(the only thing I don't like now is the flat tire instead of 6 pack, Oh well strength is more important).
Keep up them boards I know I'm doing them and making PR's on them EVERY week. I got 305 last thursday I'm goin for 315 this thursday I tried it last thursday and really fucked it up. BUT I'M GETTIN IT THURSDAY
start preparin myself now.
One thing that I've found to help me is EOW do static holds. The weight has been feelin soo much lighter on ME days. The days I'll do them are EOW after DE bench right after and then when it comes to ME days the weight feels lighter. Today I did the holds with 365(DAMN THAT SHITS HEAVY!!!!!) for like 8 seconds.
Good luck bro remember TEAR SHIT UP.

Thanks for posting the pics, Deciever. I really appreciate your efforts.
I realize the pics are pretty pathetic, basically just warming up. I have a couple more but they are just equipment pics of the Dungeon. We had a bunch of pictures of the Okie crew shirt benching, hitting 5-boards and the suspended ring dips but my cheap digital camera just quit working. The next time the Okie Crew gets together I will make sure that I come away with some quality action shots.

Deciever dude that's great you can use 345 I know I've done them before with 405 But I know for sure if you keep doing them like 150lbs over your bench your gonna FRY your CNS system. I think there might be a rule that says to use 120-130% depending on how HIGH your bench is. I could be wrong. Anyone else know of this rule????

Funny you should say that about the 365 feeling so heavy for a static hold. I was just thinking the other day about how heavy 300 used to feel when I was doing static contraction training. It used to feel like it was crushing my hands and wrists. Now I barely notice as I pass it in warmups. You guys will look back someday and think the same thing.
Cubanito, I am really glad you took the advice to get bigger. You can get cut in your 30's, spend your teens and twenties getting as big and strong as possible. I promise you, I will not even think about being cut up or looking for a 6 pack until your 20'th birthday, which will be my 30th birthday. Mr. July 27th.
Deceiver, yes, I guess we wear the same belt, funny, but mine is not worth a damn for deadlifting. Maybe I am wearing mine backward. Having a great deadlift as you do is much more important to a good total than having a big bench. Big benchers don't total elite very often. Big time deadlifters very often do. I am much more gifted in bench, but if it was up to me, I would have been born with a great deadlift like you have. But you have to play the cards you were dealt, and they have bench only meets for me, and full meets for you. Stick with it, you two, and you will truly amaze yourselves (along with everyone else) with how strong you can become.

Great press!!! Like PLJAY said, you are getting stronger by the week!
Looks like when the Okie crew gets together for some training, old PR's don't stand a chance!
