[QUOTE="sundownz, post: 2824927, member: 549523"] As for weight maxing... a guy at my local gym bench pressed 650 pounds completely raw without even so much as wrist supports. I saw it happen... it was pretty scary. Of course he is about 300 pounds and 5'8" tall. World record bench with full gear on is around 1200 pounds, IIRC. It's getting pretty ridiculous out there. My personal best was at 17 years old and 175 pounds body weight, a max bench of 350 pounds. I do dumbbells these days usually stopping at 110 lbs each hand for 6 - 8 reps on my last set. My left shoulder doesn't like the flat bench much anymore [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] Personal best dead lift was about a year ago at 194 pounds body weight, max of 545 pounds in a pyramid set, no belt, no straps, just chalk and knee supports: 225 x 10, 315 x 10, 405 x 8, 495 x 4, 545 x 1, 495 x 4, 405 x 6 reps.
