I definitely can't do it.  Never been a strong bencher.  Best I could ever do was about 1.5  :-\

i did 315 for two+three reps, am at 185 lbs.  i guess i could do 370, but i'm not risking a pec tear, have nothing to gain, so i will never know.

of course, it does chimps.  i could power out one rep, but it ain't happening. if i can't get 2-3 relaxed reps, i don't touch the weight.

Fair enough. Call me a disbeliever. I'll let the BP mathematicians work on it. Where's 'The Luke' when we need him?

I did it once. In 1975 when training for the Mr Australia contest and dieting I did 400 pounds while weighing 200. Strict bench with butt on the bench with no bounce. Ah, the good old days. Left shoulder has been sore for decades so I don't bench anymore.

According to this, you wouldn't even be near 370.

It doesn't matter if you FORCE it or not, if your 315 max is 2-3, you wouldn't be able to move 370.
