How many times can you bench 315?

I used to be a bench nut. Prior to competing in Bodybuilding I used to hit all the local Bench Competitions. There was a time (when both shoulders worked) that I hit 550 raw on the bench and could do 405 for 10 at the end of a workout. That time has come and gone, but every once in a great while you have one of "Those Days" that everything just feels light. I train alone no spotter and was hitting it for 15-16 incline up until 2 weeks out from this past show.

Its amazing what kind of a mental block tearing a muscle can do to you. Once i tore my right pec (tore the muscle apart, not torn from the bone) it fucked my brain to the point that i couldnt ever go back heavy.
Every time i tried i would hear that fucked up ripping sound on the inside of my body.... Uggg that sucked.

So, now i am old and just dont care who is impressed by my weak ass..

315

On a good day 20-21 reps.

No more flats for this old dawg. I have hit it for 20 on the incline though.

I bench more with a slight Decline. I think its safer to.
I use hammer benches so I dont know how much on a flat bench.

All you guys have this ol' guy beat.

Of course I'm only 53 and a whopping 180# at about 8% BF. I did 5 "slow" reps the other day.

Well don't feel too old cause when I weighed out
at 180 and that was a looooong time ago. I couldn't even bench
300
