I just recently started doing flat-bench again. I had been doing Inclines and then Flat dumbbell, but I decided I'd switch it back for my cycle that I'm on.
During my last chest workout I went up to 455 for 7 reps. It sounds big, but not for a 6'5", 310lb guy. Before I started using Inclines for my main chest builder, I did a max of 560, but I think I'm stronger now. I just need to get used to the flat bench again. My squats suck ass though.

I am 5-9 220. I can bench 435 with a bench shirt on. Most of the time I dont max out. I usually workout with 315 for 12-15 reps. I would like to catch up with my father one day who is in the 500 pound club, but he is 5-9 290 pounds. I am 24 and he is 46 and kicks my ass in every lift.

.I am 6'2" 310 lbs, 30 years old. I maxed out tonight at 605 lbs (no shirt, no pause). I am pretty happy with this. My best max before this was 550, so I am making progress. I will be at an Ohio powerlifting meet the first weekend in Dec, so I feel pretty strong going into it.
I never post on "these" posts, but since I am proud of my progress...
Considering I just recently returned to convention benching (bad shoulders-trying to get better) and I'm not on a cycle, I am happy with my progress.
Currently 5'10 and 210 and 12-15%, completely juice free since June.
**295 for 3 (previous week was 275 for 5), will try 305 Friday**
I returned to conventional (from db and hammer strength) about 3 months ago, no workout partner had me staying around 225-255 for 10-6 rep range, last 4 chest workouts I have trained with someone and have the confidence-spotter to work in the lower rep range, allowing for more weight.
I am not talking about a hands-on-the-bar spotter, I'm talking there if I need it and there for forced and negatives.
I suspect I will be upto 3 plates in a couple more weeks (and close to 4 on my next cycle), 365 was my best 1RM (at a weight of 242 and 10%), 315 was my work weight years back 10-8 rep range.
