140s for 8 reps, after two sets of heavy bench, pisses me off that I can never get above 8 reps

Dude, I'll take the 140s for 8 reps any day! haha - how ya been? long time no talk. You worn those shirts out yet?

I cant complain about the 140s I guess, just pisses me off that I am blocked at 8 reps, and they are the heaviest the gym has
Shirt is pretty much worn out, but its still my favourite gym shirt

How does one get 140lb dumbells into the right position? You pick one up and have a partner hand you the other one? Do you then need a spot under the elbows for the first one?

I just changed gyms and was restricted to 105lb db's which I could handle with out a spotter. My new gym goes up to 130's. I tried the 115's and had a very hard time with the first rep and almsot felt like I put to much strain on my shoulder. I also lift alone so i cleared them self and did the lift with no spotter.
 
I pull the bench right in front of the rack, so you stand up, grab them, then when you sit down they are right on your lap. I only go that heavy on incline, as its too hard to sit up from flat with that much weight. once you are done, drop them back on your lap as you are sitting up, then you stand up and put them back
I havent tried that much off the floor

unfortunately my body isn't shaped the same because when i sit back I actually have to kick my knee up to get the weight up above my shoulder.
