I'm trying to hit 315 next year. We will see. I'm weak on DL, what was your PR?

The 200kgs (440lbs) eludes me still. 197.5kgs (435lbs) is so far the closest I've come to hitting it.
Is that 315 bench?? 143kgs, that's huge!! I've 1RM 107.5kgs (236lbs) but I can't seem to make 220 my working set yet, still we get after it and patience and discipline and the weight will come up.

Yea i just hit a 300lb bench. I've been lifting consistently for just about 5 years now. I think the most i ever deadlifted was like 385. My knees are completely trash so I have a hard time going heavy on deadlift and squat.

That's amazing man, you're killing it! 👊 I've refocused my efforts towards body building so my strength training has taken a hit, I should be a lot further down the line in the bench than I am. But it doesn't matter how long it takes, patience and discipline and the numbers will come.
I hear ya about knees, I was so scared to squat for years after a rugby injury but I'm glad I started as squats and deadlifts are my most powerful lifts.

I'm also 6'3 230lbs. I'm a bit fat, I should be under 200. But still, I'm a big guy. I started cutting weight as soon as I hit 300. My clothes are all getting too tight. 🤣

6'4 220... Its always been hard for me to put on size.

I'm the complete opposite. I have a massive appetite, I have a hard time keeping it off. Even when I'm eating clean healthy food, I just pack it on.

I'm doing like 4500 calories a day and still can't put size on 🤣🤣 it is entirely frustrating. But it's frustrating both ways I do get that, aiming for something and having difficulty doing it is always hard. But you're after it and that's better than 90% of the rest of the world 💪

Sorry I say I can't put size on, I mean, I'm doing so very slowly. Progress is slow. But progress is progress.
