finally got it! 225 bench, might be what some of you warm up with, but for me i've only worked out during the 3 winter months and left off when i went back to work(construction) but this winter i decided to stay with it after realizing how much i enjoy it. I have received responses from almost EVERYONE that i have pm'ed and have given me great advise, thank you all (you know who you are) i'm starting wendlers 531 next week and went about finding my current maxes. The military press i never did so i had no idea, was pleased to chart out @ 140, (6 reps @ 115), squats need help-240, deds were good, set pr there also @ 305 x2, then felt GREAT so went to the bench and finally hit that 225! thanks again to everyone, i'm so gald i found this site ! the coolest thing about it was that with some diet advise i was able to do it at the 150 pound bodyweight i wanted to be at when i set the goal. Enough "bromance", but also a sincere thank you to all!:ohyeah:
 
thanks minimal, got the 225 number from watching the nfl combine sounded like a good goal after 10x bw was reached
 
thanks trapz, hopefully its what im looking for right now, seems like it so we'll see, i'm right at the edge of doing it because it was said if you werent at 1.5 x bw bench you shouldnt try it, so i am BARELY there. If i have to scale back to 15% under true 1rm thats also an option in order to get started
 
nice man, i remeber that feeling when i hit 315, i had to call all my buddys right after and felt like a star lol... keep it up it just gets beter
 
Congratulations!

Awesome news! I hit 200 PR on bench finally after more than 30 years of off and on lifting. Was like a kid in a candy store. Video documentation, total geek moment. Definitely felt great to hit that number!

:thumbs: CONGRATS ON 225! :thumbs:
 
Nice work. Hope you enjoy 5/3/1! :)
 
thanks to alfor the posts of encouragement, i'm now lookin @ 250 like i used to look @225, seems far off, but, lift,eat,sleep,repeat, and i know i can get there, gonna put my percentages together and start tomorrow, we'll see how bad it beats me up. Curt, if i had known i was gonna try the bench pr i would have taken the camera too! it was a last minute decission, and gaz, when i satrt logging tomorrow hopefully you can check in and evaluate the assist exercises choices and let me know if i'm making any counterproductive choices.hopefully do a vid a week for diferrent exercises for "CONSTRUCTIVE" critisism purposes! enjoy what's left of the weekend!
