I try to get out and run a few miles every night. If I'm feeling lazy I hop on my bike. Anywhere between 2-6 miles, depending on my mood.

Good for you. That's getting at it! Not easy to do week after week.

If they are iron heads for sure … you are pressed to get them on the bench …

This brings me back to the supplements. What's the difference between whey and whey isolate?
In my younger days 240 lb. once. I remember spotting for a good friend, he is the strongest person I know. He did 500 lbs. free weights on an old school bench press. I stopped him at 4 reps telling him there was no way I'd be able to get the weight off of him if he couldn't do the fifth rep. LOL
I think some great information can be had by checking out Dr Jim Stoppani on the subject I'm not telling you to buy his products he is a wealth of information on the subject.
I was really in to weight lifting at one time. My best using no cheating techniques or special equipment was 430 lbs. Then a friend suffered a nasty injury while going for a personal best, and I decided that the only person that really cared what my max bench press was, was me. And I realized I didn't care THAT much. Certainly not enough to risk injury. I've since lost some muscle mass, but still exercise to stay in shape.

I'm on the Dave Draper forums and he's always emphasizing protein intake. I'll definitely check out Dr Jim Stoppani
I lift regularly and have tried to step it back up to work with my youngest son who is in HS.
I'm a big guy, come from a big family. I weigh about 270-275 and am the smallest out of my brothers.
In our youth, my younger brother and I would work out (bench) with 4 plates - 405 lbs often and then add more for braggin'. Incline and decline dumbbell press we would do 150's and it would feel good.
To answer the question, I worked out with my buddy a couple of weeks ago and I benched 3 plates and a nickel, so 335 lbs. I did that for about 6 reps and it felt good and controlled.

Geez! A case of Busch... maybe more if it was Busch light.
At my best in high school (over 30 years ago) I had gotten up to 295 with free weights. Never was able to get 300.
Was at a hotel with the family a while back that had a "gym" in it, and was able to do 200 lbs on their bench machine.

I am fat...
Don't forget this classic SNL skit.
