I did a raw bench press competition this past weekend and finished 1st in my weight class. I benched 400lbs. Not my best, but not bad. I was able to shed about 8 pounds in 2 days to make the 200-220 lbs. class. I weighed in at 219.5. Just made it. I didn't think it was bad to press that much, especially with my long reach (I'm 6'6"). It is now time to start bulking back up. I must say, I am now hooked on these types of events....what a rush, had a lot of fun, and met some cool people. !! Hell, my wife even enjoyed the event. Also, there was a twenty year old, with a bench shirt, that pressed 600lbs. I know he had a shirt, but shit that still is impressive, especially at 20 y/o.

Holy crap you put up a lot of weight......

I'm not even close to what you're benching. Nice Job.

Thanks for the kind words. By the time I do another raw event, I hope to be weighing at least 235lbs and pressing 450-460lbs. That is my goal anyway. We'll see!! Again, thanks to everyone.
