315 for 3 sets of 15
405 for 5 rest pauses
425 for 1 (quite awhile ago, probaly about 450-475 now)

Shit! thats a strong bench! When you come down and train with me you will take me to school. My max bench is 405 for 1 rep. I think I fucked up the rotator cuff so I havent maxed in over 6 months.

Im not a big fan of maxing, especially on bench. I have a philosophy that if you cant rep the weight for 5 reps, then you cant handle the weight and shouldnt be doing it.

As you can see i prefer to rep...today's numbers...
135 x 20reps
225 x 10reps
315 x 10reps
315 x 5reps (not fully warmed-up yet)
365 x 10reps (last rep was paused at the bottom, but not a full rest-pause)
405 x 3reps (all rest-pauses)
 
My best a year ago was 270 x 2. Mind you, I haven't bench since. Amazing how you lose focus when a new baby comes into your life.
 
I haven't done flat bench inyears due to my right wrist, but heaviest i ever got was 175 at a weight of 140 pounds 10 years ago, lol.
