Max. Bench:  185 lbs.

It may be futile, but I still like to try a max lift occasionally.  My workout weight is 155 lbs, so going up by 20% doesn’t seem like anything is going to blow out.

My brother is more cautious about his workout weight.   Hectoring him to challenge himself isn’t persuasive, but when I go for a max, he tends to plate up.  So, that’s worthwhile.
