Help Setting USAPL Raw Bench Press Record

[F4iGuy]

Anybody have experience with USAPL? I'd like to set a record but I need some information.

I'm a natural lifter. At 205 pounds and 15% bodyfat I expect to press 470 pounds very soon. (video below of 435 for 3 on close grip)

I can easily cut some bodyfat and move into a lower weight class. I haven't done cardio in years and I eat whatever I want most of the time. I keep protein high and avoid sweets and alcohol.

Current lifts:
Bench: 470 (will test soon)
Squat: 500
Deadlift: 600

I have no plans of setting records with my squat and deadlift. I know they're good but nowhere near world record status. My bench keeps going up though!

What class would I enter as a 36 year old natural lifter?

Does anybody know what the raw bench press records are in the USAPL for men around 36 weighing between 185 and 195 pounds? I think I could easily maintain strength and get down to the mid 180's.

I checked the USA powerlifting website and found the following information:

Raw Open - Bench press single lift
Name Weight Date Location
-83 John Haack 200 kg 06/18/2016 IPF Classic Worlds
-93 Cieri Dennis 233 kg 08/29/2015 USAPL Bench Press Nationals

It seems the single lift records match the 3 lift records?

Also, Haack's record is listed as IPF, do they have the same drug testing requirements? What's different between IPF and USAPL?

I am most interested in the 83 weight class record. I'm assuming this means I would not enter USAPL and instead join IPF?

You're a strong mofo. Go get it!

[600@50]

Page 35 of the USAPL rule book outlines their drug testing policies and procedures. It says that the USAPL follows IPF guidelines. There's a link on that page to the IPF site.

That's impressive!!

I don't think from personal experience that if you drop 25lbs, you'll still be able to move that kind of weight.

Would be very hard to keep that kind of strength. My many years of wrestling proved to me that
