I remember when I thought getting a 220lb BP was the elsuive Holy Grail!
I first benched 220lbs when I was 24 years old and had been dedicated to training for about 12 months. At that time I weighed just over 10 stone (about 145lbs). The most reps I ever got with 220lbs was 5 IIRC. I stopped trying to get PBs shortly after I made 220lbs because of niggling injuries and also because I started training alone at home and had no spot. My PB was 250lbs for 1 clean rep at the same bodyweight (145lbs). Now, 6 years later, I sometimes wonder what I could press now with a bodyweight of 180lbs! LOL

First attempt at it tonight, got a messy thirty - going to try again in the next couple weeks and get a clean video of it to confirm, maybe hit a higher number too with a bit better prep.

Good lifting... 31 reps is impressive especially given your weight/height

15 for me but its much harder then you think ant it, got to ten and my nose started hurting, i know what your thinking and the answer is no i did not use my nose to cheat lol well it is a very big nose, my weight is 89kg so iam chuffed with that.
can you have a break or breather at top or is that cheating my last 2 reps were with a 5 second pause.

I just do those from time to time as the last set of my chest workout to get a great pump. I could do alot more reps doing it coming in the gym when I'm fresh, but it's no big deal, more of a bragging rights test to me than anything!

I'll get round to it dude, I own a gym so trying to get time to set up the camera etc is not easy and this doesn't really fit into my routine but give me a week or two and I will have another go.

Nice to see that you're posting videos and that you're not just another keyboard bench presser like so many people on forums! Now post that 220 video already!
