Just wanted to say I hit 405 on incline bench press this week. Not bragging, just pretty excited about it- and only 2 weeks into my cycle w/ no kickers. I hit 315 for 12, than 365 for 5, then 405 for 2 and 1 more with a spot. All were to failure. On flat im doing 455 and hope to hit the magical 495 in the summertime. Then its on to 585. :lift:
Nice lift bro :lift:
Good going bro............ **** 405 on the incline......... nice!
Good stuff. I did 315 for the first time today on flat bench...Good for me considering I just hit 200lbs.....i'm pretty stoked...
Excellent lift! I am still fighting for 405 on the flat bench...just for one.
Very nice humanimal.. Just a matter of time till you load up 10plates bro
Good job
....swellin, pailquail. and everyone else...when you hit 4 plates its incredible....when you get close to that its nothing but mental power..when i get ready for a heavy lift...mental...mental...mental...my goal this yr is 455lbs flat. :lift:Quote:

welcome to the big guy club bro, feels good when it finally goes up dont it big guy
my goal this year is 405 flat and still weight under 200 lbs
For someone who weighs 230lbs I should be benching a lot more than what I do :(
Yikes!! 405 on incline, good job bro, i was spotting my buddy for 405 flat and thats a big lift but incline is a different story, keep up the good work.
My chest is probably my most lagging body part. I have the hardest time building it up.
Not bragging my a$$. lol Just messing with you. If I hit 405 on the incline, I'd be tellin' everyone too. Great job. I am in search of 5 plates right now. I hit 415 easy, 425 is coming along, flat bench of course, raw. Don't know what I can do on the incline. I know I can hit 315, but that is about it. Again, props to you.
I consider that a great milestone. Lots of bros in the gym can hit 405 flat but it is nice to be able to hit it on incline. Congrats on a great lift.
Very impressive man...might want to consider entering a powerlifting competition. By the way, how much do you weigh?
Here I am crying cause I'm not there yet...and you say "lots of bros can ligt it on flats"...ass.:pQuote:

Not me... I can't get even 400 on flat...... :cry: Best I've done was 355 on flat at 180lbsQuote:

I just wanna say thanks for all the + feedback and encouragement. You all are some awesome iron bros. Peace.
dont sweat it bro, benching is a skill in addition to strength
my reply was in reference to PuddleMonkey
I guess its just a little discouraging when your work out partner puts on 4 plates per side and throws it around like its his bitch, yet I've got to have at least 15 pounds on the guy weight wise.Quote:
