I always planned on having a huge party once I reach a 315 bench. Can't wait. Congrats and enjoy your strength!

Yes generally when you say how plates you've done it means "per side" not total.  And only 45's count.

6 sounds more impressive ;D

Nevertheless a good achievement judging on your weight and length. A bit ecto aren't you? Trouble putting on size.
