Nice!!!!!!!
Your feet are wider, you have a more solid base, you drove your heels through the lift and you stayed tight. The better it gets the easier the weight. That was night and day to the last one!

thanks bro! I am workin' hard. I really should have rested a bit more before lifting again but damnit I wanted it!!!
Chest again monday, will probably just do 5x5 with 370lbs then go for a max again the week after.
I feel like a damn god today.

Great lift. I am glad to hear that you are planning to back off a bit for your next workout. My suggestion would to be to back off a bit for at least a couple. You don't want to hurt yourself brother. You are doing too good !!! Sometimes, one rep maxing too often can actually weaken you a bit without proper recovery. Best of luck to you.
I myself, am going to give 425 a run in another week or two.

Post a vid bro, always nice seeing people put up good numbers.
I am definitely going to back off a bit for the next workout, but the one after that I gotta push it to the limits again. And yes you are correct maxing too often can definitely weaken you.

Always a good Idea bro, I'm too stupid to listen to mine. I deload every once and while, but never just take time off

Bro, get it bud. Work towards it. Few pounds a week! Then a half pound a week if necessary!

My recipe for a big bench:
1) Train the triceps. These are key for a successful bench press. I prefer skull crushers.
2) Strong shoulders. I use the smith machine, but the stronger you get your shoulders the more it will help your bench
3) Weighted dips: These workout your entire upper body. I swear by them. The more weight you can stack on and do with good form the better.
4) Don't Over train. Remember you can't max every week!
5) Increase weight 1 week, decrease weight the next week. Have some variation in your lift. If you are maxing at 400lbs then one week do 365 and the next week go for 380. Pump as much as you can. Then after two weeks of that go for 410!
Things I do to get funny looks:
Pushups! I recommend them. I don't care if you gotta do 50 reps a set or 80 reps a set. But, throw pushups in at least every other week.
Weighted pushups: throw a 45lbs weight on your upper back and do as many pushups as you can, remove the weight and pump out some more!

Purchase Peptides is a bullshit company.
I do not recommend the AI products to ANYONE. Plenty of places to get good AI products. Stay clear of PP fellas. I tried to resolve my problem privately via email and they were quite rude and uncooperative.

380 was most I put up natural.
450+ is my goal on cycle, soon as I get that my goal will be 500.
great lift...
love it when a guy your size puts up that kinda weight..
guy at my gym was non stop bragging cause he benched 405.. he weighed 355!!!
totally agree on the doing pushups and dips...
keep it going..
