At 180-190lbs what do you bench?

[TheClinch]

not on cycle i average around 185lbs at 5'10" with 12%bf. i typically max out at 265 for one. on cycle i'm around 205 and 13%bf. my most ever was 315 for 3 unassisted. that was two weeks after last pin of test 500. i can't dead lift or squat for shit... really now that i think about it, the only thing i find remotely ok in comparison to my gym is that i'm the only one military pressing 225 not on a cycle... i've never tried on due to fear of ****ing my neck

225lb military at 185lb is sick, good for you

A lot of ignorance in this thread about powerlifting gear. Before some of you "little guys" start bashing geared lifting, try it. Better yet, this forum has a powerlifting section. Ask the question to the real powerlifters here (like myself). I've lifted geared in the past, I absolutely hate it. I prefer RAW, but I respect geared lifters because it's very different than RAW lifting, that is why its considered a totally different sport than RAW lifting.

And for all those using long arms as an excuse to benching heavy, that's B@LLSHIT!! I have an 84" wingspan and have benched in the mid 500's. You Tube has a lot of great instructional vids about geared lifting you can look up to educate yourselves before making some of the idiotic posts I've seen on this thread.

What does exclaiming "The bar!!!" with no reference accomplish? It seems like nonsense. Got it?

What are you, a Damn English Teacher? Let it go dude!
