Took several years to get 225. Lack of a plan and discipline to blame. 315 came about 2 years after 225. Haven't made it to 405 probably never will

I'm comfortable in the 350-385lb range

But I train for size rather than strength so reps are more important for me, overall

Edit* a few years on and off due to injuries though

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
Lol nah once I got past 12 reps on 225 I started doin sets of 8-10 with 255
