300 Club

[foxxx]

Just want to blow about my 300 bench. I have been involved with the martial arts for 30 years, and have lifted for a large part of that time, but not for poundage. Three years ago I decided to devote more time to challenging myself with the weights. I was driven to get 300 on the bench. I finally did it naturally this week. When I say naturally I mean no roids, but it took 4 good cycles to get to this point. I also would add that I am 46 years old, and quite proud.

You should be proud brother!! I believe that might put you in the 2% of the population that can actually press 300lbs. Or so Ive heard. A definate milestone!! I want to see 350 and beyond from you in the near future! Keep ON KILLING THAT SHIT!!

Thanks for the posts guys. I also did not know about the 2% statistic, that really gives you a perspective on accomplishment.

Nice bench. No roids but you've done 4 cycles? Doesn't that mean 4 cycles of steroids?

Just wait till you hit 315. Unraking 3 plates is trippy as it gets. I remember the first time I put up 315. I brought it down a little fast, but it still went back up. I was in awe about myself lol. But it felt different, it felt fantastic.

Congrats.

Helluva accomplishment, orb! Keep growing.

backlash, yes I did roids in the past but this was done 1 year natural. Probably could not have done it without the past cycles though.

Still impressive man, not trying to take anything away from you.

congrats, bro. maybe i'll be there one day 70 lbs to go!

oh... and i'll bet that statistic is a bit off. i'd be surprised if 1% of all people could bench 300 lbs. hell, only about 2% of the people at my gym can bench that much.
