i'm goin to assume that he's doing some good form on the bench AND he is a pretty good PL. i've seen a 164 lb kid that benched 464 in competition once... just to give u an idea of what i'm talking about.
trying to bench 300lbs soon

Everyone knows you CANT really overtrain. Just a story all the really strong people tell you so you dont catch them. I am a firm believer that the body will adapt to what you put it through...but yea two times a day 7 days a week is overtraining.

agreed you should work out at most 1.5 hours 4 days a week that should be enough to do a full body work out.

125 LBS benching 255 is pretty decent .. but why ?
Bench press has hauled the progress of just about as many athletes as seated military barbell press ... rotator cuffs spill all over the floor from novice lifters and even advanced ones that don't take care and warm up properly .
As a runner i would'nt want the extra mass to carry around that comes with a body capable of heavy benching considering it's a compound exercise that relies on a grouping of muscles instead of just one .
As for your 300lb goal ... as mentioned above i'd cut back and rest a bit .
Then use a partner and get assistance on heavier weight so you can get a feel for it without to much extra strain or danger .. negitive work well in that case .
300 is not that hard to reach , it was my goal at one time and now i do 3 warm up sets of 10 reps with 310 lbs like it was two plate a side . Once you bring your mind to a place it's alot easier to return or surpass , at times you will be your own worse enemy in that area .
Good luck and keep us posted of your progress
