    I did 405 the other day and I weigh 201. Just started lifting heavy again about a month ago. Before that I didn't go over 300lb on bench for about 6 weeks, just focused on building better technique, and control with the wieght for reps.
    So if your whole goal is power, and you are training for power, than keep at it, and it will come.

    My buddy weighs 205 right now (end of the day with all his clothes on, so i am guessing dry and naked he could weigh just under 200) and he benched 435 with a pause today (he competed today, all raw, competition perfect form and pause).

    You'll get there.

    If that's you in your avi, then I admire your size to strength ratio. You're also look quite lean.

    This is what i'm trying to achieve; looking like I couldn't bench 400lbs to someone who didn't know me, but can easily do so... whilst staying very lean.

    What's your training approach based on?
