about 12 years ago i was able to rep 225 about 25 times weighing about 220, i was natural at the time also. i can prolly do it 6 times these days though. i switched to dumbells since 2001 or so cause of the better gains, i was also using the 140 lb dumbells for 10 reps back then also on the bench. those days r long gone though n i dont really miss the bench press at all to be honest,i get much more from the dumbells
