I have put up 405 in a 2 rep max, I have also peaked at 29 reps with 225 but destroyed my left shoulder in the process. Weighing 195 at the time. Have sinse moved away from bench. That exercise serves no practicle purpose what so ever. Stick with incline dumbells, dips and flat bench flys. My S&C coach had me on the BFS workout which I have stayed on for years now. Form is everything.

Typically yes. Nowhere do more powerful bench presser hang out than on the world wide web, rolf.
The other fun one is hearing different definitions of what a "rep" constitutes. From my view it's all the way down so the bar touches your chest, and all the way up so your elbows lock.
Over the years I have seen several people try to convince of of some pretty amusing definitions (ie, going halfway down claiming it's not proper form to go all the way down to your chest, lol)

Ya.
Look at it this way. I lift everyday. I've lifted for awhile. If you can bench 300 lbs, you are definitely in the upper echelon of benching strength.
Go to Gold's Gym, 24hr, etc. on a Monday evening at 530 and the amount of people in the entire gym that can put up over 325 is still about 10-20%.
With that said, more than 65% of the members on this board can put up really close to 300 or more..
Hmmm.. LOL
On a side note, I do need a lifting partner. Anyone near Citrus Heights or Roseville lift at 24hr??

If your gym has 10-20% of guys in attendance who can hit 300lbs on the bench, you have an unusual amount of beasts working out at your gym.
I go to 24hr in Walnut Creek and Oakland (Broadway) and I'd estimate that less than 1% of guys who frequent the weight room can hit 3-wheels.

Oh ya.. I was exaggerating the 10-20% to make the 65% statistic from this board look ridiculous.
But you're right it's a might smaller sample.

Yup that's how I got so high on the bp my trainer taught me to stay away from the bench and use a workout ball and use the dumbbells and go slow 3 full seconds up and 3full seconds. Down using a much lighter weight but controlling the weight and balancing your body and strengthen your core at the same time but was always curious where I was on the bench so I threw 350 lbs on there and had my trainer there to spot and hit my chest and went up easy and I reped I hit it one more time thought wow that was easy but then my trainer said that's enough back to your routine
