Sometimes I scare myself.

For the first time ever today, I bench pressed 335 pounds. Three sets of five at 335 to be exact.

I've put on about 10 pounds in the last year. I was concerned. Then I realized I went from bench pressing 315 lbs. in three sets of three to bench pressing the same weight in four sets of six. Two weeks ago I decided to see if I could do 325 lbs. I did four sets of six.

I'm 6'1" and weigh 254 lbs.. I can leg press 700 lbs. Looking in the mirror, I think I'm built like a miniature version of a World's Strongest Man contestant. I have a bit of a gut, but you can see the mass in the shoulders, chest, and arms.

In college (8 years ago), I was 165 lbs. and could bench press 135 lbs.

I've never taken any diet supplements. I've never taken steroids or any other hormones or mass-building supplements. I don't watch my diet--in fact, I eat like $h!t. The only thing I've done is hit the gym three times a week for the past 12 years.

I wonder if I could hit 405 lbs. on the bench press? I feel like I've broken out of a three-year long plateau and can move up rapidly for a little while...
