It took me a year
I was lifting everyday.. working on building up my shoulders.. arms.. back...everything I could do to increase my bench. I had some good lifting ppl around me. I am not to much into looks as I am into raw strength.

300 raw took me about 3 years. 400 raw took me another 4 years.
Ceci n'est pas une signature.

ha, i feel worse and worse about myself from these threads. It's taken me 6 years to go from 125-375. And though i don't train with any bodybuilding motivation, i still have skinny 16" arms.

You forgot to include an "I'm a pussy and still haven't benched 300" option.

whoever got it in 6 months = you are GENETIC BEASTS
the 1 year crowd = pretty BEASTLY in the genetics department
seems like the average is 2-3 years.

I'm not sure how to count it. I stopped lifting a few years ago and never got past 225. Last February I started back pretty committed but did all dumbell work. That went from 60's to 120's in about 6 months. From June to now I've been focusing on Barbell. Soo, I started at about 225 on bench in June and got 300 in January.
I don't know if thats 6 months, a year or several years

just semi recently got 300 paused in about 8 months. My bench isnt strongest of lifts thats for sure. I did lots of labor work before that so helped with my strength. Plus I have eaten like a hog, was 200-205 about 8 months ago now i am 235. Dont like the fact that I have extra weight around my waist now, but at least I have gotten pretty strong in that time frame. I am still new to lifting, and my diet isnt the greatest, but I am wanting to get on a cutting diet pretty soon before spring

Geo, have you tried any periodization/ strength peaking programs. This is how I accomplished my 300 paused. If you want a quick 3-4 week program (The one I used) I will send it. Also, if you do the periodization, pause everything on your last sets, once you get into 5's and triples.

I'm doing a SF 5x5 for now and I want to run this for as long as I can milk stuff from it. Go ahead and send me the routine anyways so I can give it a try after 5x5.
