At the time I did this lift I had a minor shoulder injury so I didnt want to waste any time pausing, feeling much better now I would assume I could pull off a 500 lift paused on a really good day but nobody knows until you try.

the pause takes 25 lbs off my BP most lifters can not pause as much as they can touch as go you lose some stretch reflex and of course it takes some power just to hold the weight there for that heartbeat.

That is deadly and a very competitive addition to the over 40 club

Thanks! I had a very good training workup this winter/spring, and benched the 303 at Master Bench Worlds in Orlando (I disagree came off the bench on the 3rd lift, but the judges didn't see it, so it didn't officially happen, right?).
Tore up my Fury, though, so I've invested in a Super Katana. Once I figure out how to control it, I'm expecting a substantial increase again. So far, I can't touch, and I've loaded it up to about 350.
Once my triceps catch up to my ambition, I'm hoping to bench like a girl! My ultimate goal is to out-bench Rhea Fowler in the 75KG class!

Nice so 133 pounds over BW legal RAW press and 183 pounds over BW legal equipped press. Are you in the hunt for a double BW equipped BP??
