i benched 415 for three singles today. my goal is to hit 495 before 2012. (chest has always been my weak point)

you didnt lift heavier because you were physically limited, not because you didnt think training heavier would help you gain better.
Correct.

im 245 with love handles, top abs. 15-20%. those were clean reps, no spotter, no bounce, slow going down and as hard as i could on the way up. first rep was eassy. second time it was tough. third time it took me a couple second to get it all the way up.

What if you just maxed out a lift and you add a piece of tape and hair to the bar each workout?

I'm curious che, did you actually get bigger muscles after you stopped practicing progressive overload, or did you just improve your muscular conditioning? For example, you peaked at 5'9" 165 @ 6% right? So the question is, how big were you when you benched 225*10 and squatted 315*8, what was your bodyweight and % bodyfat at that time?
