Top Gym bench (none competition legal) 510x1. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gxZDd6gWMqo
I'm 6'6" and today weighed 305 - but I can't bench worth a shit right now, as I'm trying to rehab my right delt/bicep.

My best bench I ever had was for 315. My bodyweight at that time was 165 pounds, and I am 5'6 tall. The problem I have with maxing out is I always tweak a shoulder or pec despite a good warm up and stretch. I think the combination of submission grappling and heavy maxing is too much for my meager joints.

So I have now evolved to doing alot more weighted dips and incline benches instead. In fact, when I hired Dorian Yates for a one time personal training session in 2005, he said he never did alot of flat benching for chest in his prime. He recommends against it for bodybuilding purposes citing too great an injury risk vs the chest building reward.

But yea I must admit the 2 most fun lifts for me are 1 rep (power lifting style) Flat Bench Pressing and the Dead lift. Sheer intensity & fury!!

Great work with your personal best! Before you know it you'll be over the 300 barrier.

One rep max benches scare the shit out of me, I'm too worried of injury. I'm guessing I could hit a 495 for one or two. Doubt I'll try anytime soon...

510!!!! That's INSANE bro!!!!!!!!!!! WOW.



Do you do alot of extra work to protect your rotator cuffs and other stabilizers?

I cannot even fathom 510 coz I know how heavy dead lifting 450+ feels to me. I can't even imagine that mammoth amount being lowered to my chest!!!!!

You sir are a beast!!!!
