From here on out, today will forever be remembered as "The Day I Benched 315lbs".
Had my spotter there, who fricked it up two weeks ago when I tried. I hit a point on the way up where it kinda stopped going up, but I wasn't failing yet, and he grabbed it.
So today, I told him "don't touch it until it starts coming back down". And low and behold, I got it up. Now, full disclosure, there was no pause at the bottom like the pros do, but IDGAF! I benched three plates!!!!

Thanks! I've been trying to work toward breaking that 300 mark for about 18 months now. Had some set backs, but finally got it.

Dang it boy! Congrats!!
I’m so close to 225 (two plates). I can almost taste it!

When I started tying to up my max on bench a year and a half or so ago, I could barely do 225. Maybe two reps. It's such a good feeling the first time you get it up! Keep grinding, man!!!!

Awesome! What are your plans now? Retire?

I hit 3 plates in my mid 20s, now my 1RM might be 2 plates.
Getting old sucks...

I’ve hit 3 plates into my late 40s.
Next stop, 405! Not really, I’d probably have my shoulders explode going heavier than 350.

Well I have no desire to go higher than that, as I'm getting up there in age, and I don't want to risk any major injuries. So my current plan is to stop being so fat. I was 17% BF after the holidays, and I plan to get down to at least 13% and maintain that level or better without sacrificing much if any muscle mass.

You just have to stay active in chest workouts.
My max has yo-yoed from 275-320 the last 5 years and it solely depends on hitting chest and tris once per week.
Last week, I had 5 sets of 235x6 in a 12 minute window and struggled, because I concentrated on other stuff for a month getting ready for a big CF comp in Miami.

I got to 3 plates (first time in life) in my early 40s. Just take it nice a slow and progress on up.
