So there's a local bench press competition that I was considering entering. It's about 2 weeks away. I am currently 180lbs (168-180 weight class) and can max at about 275 on a good day. Is that pretty good for my size or do you think I'd get destroyed?

I don't know much about these but just my .02. 275 is really good weight for someone your size considering I can only get 250. But IMO people that do these competitions train specifically for them and with that said, I think they'd move closer to more than 300. I mean, it's not like you would look dumb--it's still big weight. I just don't know if you'd place. Good work though

If you are going raw, I think thats pretty good. In my Power lifting gym this is exactly what we train for. I max 2 weeks ago raw was 300lbs even and 176lbs. I have been working to get there for a while. But I say take a shot cause there are a lot of little tricks and rules that you need to learn in order to do well. But Go for it brah and kick ass.

Most cases you will have a weigh in...then a rules meeting...some have equipment checks...if it is a full meet...then the order will go: squat, bench, and then the deadlift.
Most places will have a warm-up room...what you do in between the rounds is up to you...just make sure you get your next attempt turned in and listen for your name to be called out.
