about a month, first bench was 185, after getting form down I was up to 225 within a month. I also already weight 180lbs(fat) though.

Yeah and you probably don't believe that I was 15 at the time either  :) but I have no reason to lie, it was freshmen year maxing out during football workouts.

Little over 3 years.  :(  My form sucked for a long time tho.  Should have gotten a coach.  Probably still should.

I'm right there.  Used to get it for a couple teeth clenching, slanty barred reps after ramping up on 5x5.
