280 lbs on bench , sweet!!!!
I know to most 280 lbs on bench is nothing, and 5 years ago, before my spine injury, it was nothing for me too. I was lifting just shy of 400 lbs before i hurt my back, after that, i haven’t lifted, actual free weights in 5 years. Yesterday i finally went to the gym with my buddy who just got back from Iraq, after 5 years of not lifting free weights and hitting 280 lbs, i think that is good for me. I am very happy, i thought i was going to be at like 200 lbs or so…… My goal is 400 lbs, in about a year, i have to take it slow since i don’t want to risk it with my back and all…..

Great job on your bench! 280 is awesome. I haven’t lifting in about two months since I broke my elbow…so hopefully when I start, I don’t lose to much. I want to be at 300 by summer! That is good for me!
