I doubt I can make it into the big league. I am at 205/330/480. With a few powerlifting tricks, no bench shirt, I could increase my bench to 225 but I'm still going to base it on my regular bench form. Do you guys use your regular form when recording your 1RM numbers or powerlifting style?
I always use a pretty standard benching form. I never use powerlifting style when benching. Dude, unless you are like Shawn Bradley, I think you can do it man. I realize it seems like a ways away but with time and consistency I think you could bench 300.
