I am ashamed to say that I have the chest of a 12 year old girl. Chest is actually my weakest point. Right now im pushing about 225 and the max i ever hit was 315. And this is all raw. Only equipment I used for bench were wrist support straps from harbinger but I stopped using em a while back, didnt feel i needed them anymore. DB press is alot easier for me though...I could get up to the 125's for a couple sets on a good day.
