Rather 'meh' but hey, you guys can know. Only seen 150kg benched in that gym.If I make that I'll be happy.
Bench for me is one of my weakest links.. pre pfs I was a bulky 230 lbs at 5”11. & even then I barely was able to max 315. My best squat was 460 at that time, and best deadlift was 645. But I was way too big tbh, i looked like a fullback,..I prefer my look now.

Now I’d say my max bench is at 285 ish.. I don’t back squat anymore, I prefer front squats. & my deadlift max is about 590-605.. difference is due to a paleo diet & partially pfs, im lighter & leaner at 188 or so....so I guess relative to my bodyweight it’s impressive, but it’s definitely harder to get stronger when your bodyweight is not going up with it.It’s a challenge I enjoy though, every extra lb on the barbell is valuable..I’m now seeing why there’s weight classes in these competitions.

I love when the big 215+ guys in my gym underestimate me. I do look fit, but not like I’m gonna be throwing big #’s around.
