How long did it take you to bench press..........

I can't even bench my bodyweight yet (175). New PR today was 135 for 6 on the incline bench. Don't ever see myself repping more than 315 in my lifetime though. I go by the motto "It's not about how much weight you can bench. It's about how much weight you LOOK like you can bench."
small wrists and 6'6 armspan arent helping, but the 29 inch waist sort of makes up for it with a nice V

LOL @ the bold part. I kinda live by that too. Like, women won't come up to you and say "oooh how much do you bench?" They'll just compliment the physique and get touchy. Now if you're legitimately tryna break PRs then go ham, but I'm in the exercise game for health, self image, sanity, and confidence.
To answer the question though, I benched 225 for 2 or 3 reps back in 08, my freshman yr of college. I think with a solid of month of training I can get back there
Haven't hit any of the other benchmarks yet

Damn anyone in here even reppin 405
This ain't the misc
It took me about 4-5 months to get to 225 for like 6 reps,I'm not big on benching
I stick with 185 on inclined now just for Maintanance
I rather get my military press up,i press the same as I bench

shyt Iono, its some dudes on here who post all the time, you seem like they strong enough to get 405 up by there conversation when it comes to lifting, @semtex being the only one I can think of off the top of my head.
And that's good, keep striving, Incline makes your flat bench stronger as well
225-freshman year Hs
315-junior year
375-senior year. (I never got big enough to get 405 bench.)

Breh how do you get your military press up? I cent figure it out. Do you do it behind your head or in front?

In front, I tilt my head slightly back so I can raise and lower the bar parallel with my body
word. I just started doing ot behind the head and it feels
U can do 315, u hit 225 for like 20 reps
Took me a long ass time to feel comfy with 225. Bout 3 years of serious lifting. But I could have got there quicker if I had a better plan + form. Once I started to pin my shoulder blades and arch my back my bench started to go up.
fukk all that tho, I just want big arms and a V
I don't remember how long it took to get from 85 lbs to 225. I peaked at 275.
There was a sharp climb in the beginning, and getting to 135 felt pretty good. The climb from 155 to 225 was a long time.
