So, I'd guess that I could possibly put up 255 or 260 on a good day, which makes me feel great.
I had mentioned earlier that I was struggling putting on weight, hovering around 143-146 most days. I'd guess about 6 weeks ago I just started eating everything in sight and drinking a quart of chocolate milk on workout days. Now I'm consistently around 153 and it only keeps rising. I've developed some nice pudge in my stomach area and my six pack is nearly gone, but if these strength gains continue, it'll be worth it.

Not a bad bench for your bodyweight, how much are you squatting and please tell me you are? Keep checking the scale and make sure the weight continues to rise.
