Once upon a time, I benched 250 on a base far, far away, pretty much just to get a t-shirt. See here.
I've had the goal, pretty much ever since then, of benching 275, which was the next t-shirt I could have gotten, and the closest I'd ever come was 265.
Today I benched 275, and it felt great. In the past 2 months I had decided to make a serious run for it, and this morning I just decided to max out, and my roommate seemed willing to spot me, so boom, done. It's nice when a goal becomes an achievement.

Has it already been almost 5 years since you went to Iraq?
T - almost to the day...
Nice Ryan. The most I've done is 245 and I doubt I'll ever be in shape enough to accomplish that. My high school football team had a shirt for 200, 225, 250, 275, 300, and something for anyone over 300. I REALLY wanted that 250 shirt, but never got there.
I request some pics of your huge muscles with this post, because I miss those arms! Awesome. I think I'm benching about 375, but I don't really keep track.
