500 lbs press you been working out your whole life??? or, (forgive me for asking)are you on the Juice? ive seen bench press comp on tv and i know there is alot of technique involved in lifting such weight...but form only gets you so far...most them guys are on juice....if i remember right the Heavyweights were lifting something like 700lbs and guys that weigh 165-170 were lifting in the mid to upper 500lbs range.
