New Personal Best!
I was in the weight room today and got 315 up 8 times on bench pretty easily, lets just say I haven't lifted that much since my football playing days. It feels great to be back in GOOD shape. I still have a goal of dunking a basketball 2 handed but for now the 315 for an easy 8 felt great.
5'11''---207lbs -----12% ish body fat.
I will try again on friday and see if the result is as good, and get a video up.

How old are you? I think we're about the same age, and have similar goals.I was in the weight room today and got 315 up 8 times on bench pretty easily, lets just say I haven't lifted that much since my football playing days.

I know you're being facetious to a degree, but never feel bad about a personal achievement. Everyone starts somewhere. If it makes you feel better, I probably couldn't push 225 more than 1-2 times right now.Very Impressive...I was going to post about my new 1RM best and then hitting 225 x 5 at the end of the workout for the first time ever...but yeah you just made me feel like a bitch.

I know I'm stronger then I was in January but I still feel weak for my size.I know you're being facetious to a degree, but never feel bad about a personal achievement. Everyone starts somewhere. If it makes you feel better, I probably couldn't push 225 more than 1-2 times right now.
6 ft 240 lbs.
But I did start around January after never really lifting with a 1 RM of 185.
Goal was to push 275 at least by Jan 1 2010 and rep 225 x 10....I can still maybe get there.
Congrats to the OP and Nate.
Nate, it must have been the bench that I sold you!
A few years back my goal was to rep 365 on flat bench 12 times,
then I hit that goal and completely stopped flat benching and switched back to dumb bells.
I just feel flat bar bench is only for bragging rights to you and your buddies, but that's another subject in itself.
Either way, congrats on new personal bests, sure does make you feel good!

Yeah we just don't have the DB's available at the shop we are at right now, I keep saying we need to move to that though.Congrats to the OP and Nate.

And actually that was on our old bench I put it up, I do use that Yukon machine alot...LOVE seated rows and we did fix the butter fly portion as well.

If you want, they sell a cable crossover attachment for the machine as seen below.
That machine can do everything one would ever want...
I am 25 years old and yes the flat bench is alot about bragging, but aren't all max lifts? WE dont have anything higher than 100lb dbs so I try to do a few sets of burn outs on there as well.How old are you? I think we're about the same age, and have similar goals.
You should never feel bad about your lifts, you do have to start somewhere and not too many years ago after I had double hernia I couldn't lift 225 for 1 rep. It took alot of hard work to get it all back. I think the maxes help me out in motivating to get to the gym. Thanks for all the compliments and hope to see some of you guy's numbers.
I agree, the only way I feel I get a good flat bench workout is doing negatives to fail with a trustworthy spotter.Congrats to the OP and Nate.

Most I've ever FBd was 295, I doubt I could get 280 right now.
Very nice, I just hit my personal best at 225lbs ONCE 
I've tied my personal best of 265. Last time I did that was about 7 years ago.
I haven't maxed in maybe 15 years....
But right now im doing 225 x 10 in 4 sets.
I'm thinking i could probabally do slightly over 300 a few times. I'd like to try but i workout at home and never have a spotter so i have been staying away from weight that can hurt you.

I am hitting 225 for 25-30 times so my guess is youre closer to 275-285. You may be a good low end weight pusher though. 225 is good at any number of reps.I haven't maxed in maybe 15 years....

315x8?
You're my hero.
I know a FW City Marshal that warms up with 315 though. I've seen him do 405x12.:hypnotized:
