    Nice!
    Just last week I put up 67.5 kg (149 lb) for a grindy paused double at a bodyweight of 110 lb. My best paused triple is 143 lb. I'm 49, started bodybuilding at age 42 and have been powerlifting just one year.

    I can overhead press 95 lb.

    My heaviest deadlift is 237 lb but it looked like a pooping dog. Best with solid form is 232 lb.

    My squat is my weakest due to arthritis in my low back and left hip and breaking parallel is just not fun. My best legit-depth triple done just a few weeks ago is 175 lb.

    Thanks for the offer. I prefer to do training/coaching in person and it doesn't appear that you're within driving distance for me. My coach is the legendary Sioux-z Hartwig Gary. I'll be seeing her March 18-19 for a 2-day training camp, along with her husband Matt Gary and world record holders Ray Williams and Dennis Cornelius.

    You are being arrogant. IMO.

    Cook, are you listening? Give me a break.

    Back to the subject at hand.I never benched 500 that is quite an accomplishment for anyone.I do remember the first time I did 400.It was in a meet and the actual weight ws 402 because of the kilo thing.It went up pretty easy so the next day which was a Sunday I go to the gym with a buddy who doesnt even lift.It was empty so I got him to spot me and I warm up and put 405 on the bar and did it pretty easy.I said ok let's go home.He asked what was the point of that and I told him I wanted to bench those 4 wheels on each side just in case I never got there again.

    Benching 500 at 300lbs is not a major feat of strength. It's a very respectful lift.

    Benching 900 at 300lbs BW would be insane.

    Now that you've made the claim, post the video of you benching 500.
