Got my bench shirt back from tailor and hit my personal record today at 560lbs on the bench. I had more in me but with no side spotters and it being only the second time I ever benched with the shirt on we decided it was a good spot to quit I am seriously jacked though cause I am adding serious weight to all my lifts which is tremendous given the short period of time we train in between!
PS: we added another guy to our "team." He is a 19 year old kid that weighs 220ish and already squats around 700 while dead lifting around 700 as well. He can only bench like 315 though.. the "only" is there because in comparison to his lower body lifts it isn't special. He is a powerful fuck. He is trying out for the OSU football team in March but atm he trains strongman, olympic and powerlifting. He might even be overtraining (bad).
My god, reading about this re-motivates me to start working out. I keep feeling it's too late already, though, which is bad mentality. Also, ever since I've heard from the guys at the gym, or just friends in general who are really into workouts, I've heard SO much about how important diets are, not to mention the correct lifting/working out methods.
Right now, I really wanna start, but honestly I'm at a loss even where to start. I guess watching what I eat would be the first step, but of course, that's hard given anyone's circumstances at 20 years and older (work, routine, etc). But enough about me, good luck with your future ambitions.

anyways that is all for now!
bench is always significantly lower than dead/squat lifts. Although 700/300 is quite a difference, realistically he should be prob 450/700

In powerlifting they're closer, because of the clothing. If you are normally proportioned and trained, then deadlift should be highest, then squat, then bench.
But since bench suits help a lot, squat suits help somewhat, and deadlift suits barely help, in powerlifting the highest record is squat, followed by bench, followed by deadlift, though deadlift and bench are very close.

There's a guy at my dojo who suggests this, except he's basing it on the book "Dinosaur Training," so he suggests waking up and eating 1/4 lbs of cheese -_-
I'm glad people have this sort of commitment to things. Gogo Geoff!

thanks for the info, i didn't know that powerlifters typically had higher bench than deads damn. I'm a bit ignorant when it comes to powerlifting but i assumed it would be somewhat similiar to bodybuilding
