Bench press PR...350 lbs at 215 lbs And 47 years old

[airforcerob]

I missed this lift in June, I reset and slowly worked my way back up. I used an anti-skid mat, a belt, and chalk. I had the spotter give me a lift off and made sure he didn't touch the bar after that. The week before I had done 295 for six for the first time ever and thought I was getting pretty close. 350 lb bench press PR at 215 pounds body weight, 47 years old! #benchpress #personalrecord - YouTube

For several months I would do one heavy day of bench pressing and another day of lighter bench press and arms. I would make sure I could get four or five sets of three before I went up 5 lbs in weight.
