Congrats bro. Nice to get over that hurdle.

Good job, I can't even do that right now

The most I got when I was "on" was about 365lbs for 10 reps. Shoulders don't do so well in your 30's

I remember when I got to 300 I was so ****in proud of myself.

good job bro, I haven't actually done a barbell press with over 285lbs in a while because of my shoulders/elbows

the funny thing is, i don't think im big enough, or feel like i look like it you know? We all got people in the gym staring at us, those guys just starting out like I did looking with envy, and for some reason, 400 just seams more feasible to me now.

I can proudly say that steroids are my anti-drug, haha.

Good for you, but don't make the same mistake a lot of us do and say "I'll be happy when I accomplish X" or "When X happens I will be satisfied". Be happy with where you're at now and keep working hard.

I always used to say "I'll be happy when I weigh 185lbs". I got up to 185 and it didn't change anything, I then said "I'll be happy when I weigh 200". Hit 200 and still miserable, feeling skinny. Right now I weigh about 255lbs and I STILL feel skinny! It's a viscious cycle bro... Seems like you are happy though so that's awesome for you keep up the hard work.
