how strong are you ?

DonPaulo666, is that squat raw?

No, single ply centurian about two sizes too big, lol.  I've done 300kg and could do more now with just a belt and wraps but I like the hip/core stability you get from the suit.

My bench being spotted 300kg +.

I heard your spotter was doing a set of partial deads and had worked up to 150kg on the final set.
 
Two birds, one stone, some feat!

Well done!

Thank you,  funnily enough when I train alone my bench is only 170.

My point being what is the point of having a spotted bench PB?

I've no idea, If my spotters touched the bar without my say so, they would need it surgically removed from their sphincters!

They help me off with the bar, that's it, hands are kept away.

Bench 100kg
Deadlift-150kg (Done last september)
Squat 120kg (done last semptember)

My bench and shoulder press is very weak in comparrison to my deads / squats - see sig.
Currently shoulder press 34kg for 7, couldn't imagine doing the 45's for a long time.
I personally think your bench is a 'bit' low compared to your shoulder press if it's a single and shoulder press is for reps.

Do not have a clue what my max lifts are lol

would guess

bench around 80kg
squat 100kg+
deadlift 150+

When you say 45kg DB shoulder press - are you saying 45kg a dumbell or 45kg total? 

me as of last week
100kg unspotted bench
155kg dead
60kg military

I think I could pinch out more of a bench but I have a fear of maiming without a spot.

250 squat - knee wraps only
185kg bench touch and go,
260 deadlift
140 push press

My point being what is the point of having a spotted bench PB?

Surely a spotter doesn't help you lift? Therefore you still lift the max weight yourself?

On the rare occasions I get a spotter he guides the bar off and then hovers incase of a fail.

wrong section!

Indeed, I've seen many people claim a new pb when a spotter has aided them, even if it's slight it's no pb!
Spotting is fine for a liftoff and saftey precautions, they shouldn't  add to the lift though.

My bench being spotted 300kg +.

Two guys shrugging either end mate! :-)
