Yes, I understand there's a training personal records thread, but I'm too attention-seeking today to acknowledge it 
Third rep was borderline, but he said he didn't help and it looks at least plausible from the video.

Always good to see lighter guys lifting some heavy weights. Nice Job! What’s your bench routine like?

Thanks!
Currently 3x3 ramping sets, then one or more backdown sets based on RPE. I quit if I hit a 9+, which today was 365x6 paused. But I also have a really good idea of what I can do at this point because I’ve been benching 400+ for almost 10 years.
Accessory work on heavy bench day is floor or pin press, 2 or 3 sets of 5, again depending on RPE.
Light day is narrow grip for volume. One heavier set of 6, followed by 2 or 3 backdown sets of six. No bench accessories that day, but I do triceps or shoulder work and a strongman style overhead dumbell press for time (one arm).
I don’t press overhead most of the year and will quit doing it the second my shoulders don’t feel absolutely perfect. I also do back work pretty much every day I lift.
And I always move up by at least 5 pounds when I hit a target rep set.
Great set. Very impressive! Just out of curiosity, what can you press with dumbbells on flat and incline?

Yikes, it’s been a long time. My gym has up to 150, and I’ve done those on flat. On incline I’ve done at least 130 for reps, but that was years ago at a gym that only had 130s.
I really only don’t do these because I hate the setup.

I’m gonna be honest…I made this username so that I could one day bench 405x3 post about it.
Thanks fellas.

I noticed you have a different username on that “other” forum.

Haha, I made that username when I was into bodybuilding and a least a year before I even knew what this site was. I started posting again after I had knee surgery because at that point the name made a lot more sense.
