FINALLY broke my bench record...

Have been stuck for months at the same or less than my past. This week:

375 lbs. x 1 rep
315 x 6 reps
(both records for me. I'd been stuck at 4 & 5 reps for nearly a year! Hopefully it was just a mental thing I needed to break through.)

This was the full workout
BENCH
105 x 12 (warmup)
135 x 12 (warmup/slow, pausing at the bottom)
225 x 12
315 x 6
375 x 1
315 x 6 (negatives)

DUMBELL INCLINE
100 x 12
110 x 12
120 x 4 (sort of weak set)

PULLOVERS
100 x 8
100 x 10
100 x 12

CABLE FLYS supper set w/ Peck Deck
50 x 24 (3x)
110 x 12 (3x)

A good bench day.

I want to eventually bench double my weight. I'm close as I waver between 190 & 200 lbs.

Really? I do too but i'm 6 feet tall. You seem stockier then me. I was shooting for 300 but at 265 hurt my shoulder and now my arthritis is acting up so i've backed off. Stupid ageing.

Getting old sucks!

I was stuck at 360 - 365 for the longest time.

I'm also backing off calories a bit, so I may start losing a bit of strength as I want to trim down a bit.

That was always my goal, also, and I finally did it when I pushed 455 at a weight of 220.

I can't wait to fully recover all of my strenght following my debacle with dislocated ribs!!! 6 weeks of no lifting REALLY sapped my endurance, which, in turn, depletes the strength.

Nice job, Ult!
