Can you bench 300lbs?

how about a third option: 'will get there eventually' 
Almost there
300lbs is a pretty big accomplishment in my opinion. Just because you can't bench 300lbs does not mean you cannot properly train someone. I am not a personal trainer nor am I that strong. I'm just an exercise freak.
Bill Parcell's can't play football, yet he was still one of the best coaches ever.
strength is relative to the person. also, some lifts are just not good lifts for certain people. Personally, I don't believe anything anyone says about their lifts on the internet unless I see it with my one eyes. I have seen so much shit in gyms around the country, that I just don't believe that most people know anything about working out or exercise technique.

That's over 1.5 times body weight. Very respectable.
I benched 515 raw at 250lbs few months ago. video of it somewhere on youtube I think
You are a monster compared to me mate!
Um, no I cant bench 300, not even close - but if I didnt train hard and be careful with my diet I'd be walking around at about 127 instead of 170 lol (true)
Almost there, ever since I broke my clavicle my presses have never been the same.
Nope. My best is 210/220 x 1. I think i could do a LOT more than that though. At the time, when i did whatever my record is i remember it being surprisingly easy because of the switch from DB to BB.
We'll have to see, im pretty confident that one day ill be able to do it. If you put your mind to it you can do anything.
Once im back up to speed and confident about my back injury im gonna give Westside another go, and then we'll see

Personal best was 365. I could probably get 300 up now but it would be a struggle! For me personally 300 was a huge mental berriar. I was stuck at 295 triples for about 2 months before I finally pushed 300 off my chest. That same day I did a 315 double. That tells me that it was nothing more than mental.
I've been unable to bench for the last couple of months, but last summer I made some excellent progress on my bench (on all my lifts really) and I expect the same kind of improvement this summer.
300 pounds will happen, it's just a matter of when.

Then select No, son.
Done and... done.
I started lifting a couple months before I turned 51 - could barely bench 135. I turned 52 a month ago and can bench 225 and 90 using dumb bells. I weigh 210 was 200 when I started. 300? maybe some day, but not to worried about it.
My best was about a year ago 365x1 @ 260lbs so it's not all that impressive. Since then I tore my labrum and haven't been able to do any presses. After surgery I'd be happy to get up 225.
Thats damn good. My weight stays between 184 lbs-198 lbs I know thats a pretty big weight change but thats what I stay around I think its because the diabetes an the hyper thyroidism. I don't know my max but I can bench 300 lbs 3 times for 1 set.

Very impressive. I maxed out at 230 when I was 16 and 160 pounds. That is probably the best I will ever be able to do as far as pounds benched against bodyweight.
