you're still ok even with the injury....your weights are nothing to be ashamed about. you're better than half the bodybuilders I know. good luck with your injury.

at 17 years old 175 lbs. 5' 10" I benched 250x1 -drug free

at 19 years old 185 lbs. 5' 10" I benched 275x1- drug free

at 20 years old 205 lbs. 5' 10" I benched 315x1- after my third cycle

at 22 years old 220 lbs. 5' 10" I benched 315x2- during my fifth cycle

That's a very small improvement after 5 cycles. You should have stayed natural because you were doing fine.

225 lbs x 32 reps. It was a bet, so I quite there.

that shit shouldnt even count....that bench shirt or watever the hell they are wearing is cheating!! i can see wearing elbow wraps for your joints but that bench press shirt is just ridiculous

Powerlifting now a days is an entirely different sport than it was even 15-20 years ago. Shirted benching is so different than raw benching, they are basically two different events. Neither one is better or worse than the other and they can't be compared to each other. It's apples and oranges.

I wonder how must weight most of these posters would have to drop from their max bench in order to execute a strick rep with a pause at the bottom and keeping their asses on the bench...and holding the bar within the regulation width.

pre accident 405. Now ten months later... @225
Damn shoulder... getting much better though, won't be long.

Also I did the Blast your bench program when I was at 315. it took me to 4 wheels in 3 weeks. It was pretty amazing. It focused on bench 5 times a week for certain percentages. It involved incline and other flat bench builder movements. It even brought my incline to 315. That was more amazing to me then the flat bench!
