    CPU/IPF platform 77.5kg.
    100% raw (no start command and an insanely short press command) 81kg
    Gym 85kg
    Never going to be enough weight on the bar

    Not much. :lol:

    Most I've done is 205 but after this morning I know I can do more. Since I haven't actually done more yet:

    I bench 205.

    Slowly going up...only have been back in the gym for a month and a half after pretty much zero exercise over several years. Up to 175lbs for 10 reps x3 sets. I really have no interest in finding out what a maximum would be for a single rep etc....every exercise I do is in the 10-15 rep range. When I can do the 12 or 15 easily with a slow controlled return, I add a bit of weight.

    Back up to 225x5 after a torn pec in June. I am scared to rip it again so I am taking it really slow.

    Step your game up for you, not for anybody else's number.

    My joints are a mess thanks to a childhood spent doing lots of manual labor (thanks, dad) so I've made it a rule to never lift anything heavier than my body weight. As a result, I look a lot stronger than I actually am, which is neither good nor bad, IMO.

    Look at all these overachievers! 65lbs here. (But then, I started recently and have gone up from 45 pretty steadily!)

    My max with full commands/paused is 65kg/143lbs, both in competition (IPF) and in the gym. My max touch & go (no pause, in the gym only) is 70kg/154lbs.

    I know, I have been working on my overall upper body strength for quite some time. It's definitely my weakness
