Single rep at 455 pounds on the flat bench. This lift was performed post-bilateral hip replacement and bilateral shoulder SLAP repair — proof that the body can come back stronger than you expect with patience and smart programming.

A 455-pound single from July 30, 2025. Clean rep with a controlled descent and solid lockout — a milestone that set the stage for the 475-pound bench months later.

Single at 440 pounds. Part of the steady climb toward 475, demonstrating the progressive overload approach that defines the Long Game methodology.

Single at 435 pounds. Every five-pound jump at this level is hard-earned — built on years of consistent volume work and intelligent programming around nine surgeries.

Single at 425 pounds. A working-weight single that shows the consistency of heavy pressing after bilateral shoulder SLAP repairs and bilateral hip replacements.

Triple at 405 pounds. Controlled descent, no bounce, full lockout on every rep. Volume work at this weight builds the foundation for heavier singles.

Another triple at 405. Different session, same standard — controlled tempo, full range of motion, no spotter assistance. Consistency at this weight is what makes 475 possible.

Triple at 385 pounds. Working sets in the 85-90% range are the bread and butter of strength programming — heavy enough to drive adaptation, manageable enough to maintain form.

Six reps at 365 pounds — high-volume strength work. Sets of 5-6 in the 75-80% range build the work capacity and muscle mass that support heavier singles and triples.

A full drop set on the bench — stripping weight and pushing reps to build hypertrophy and muscular endurance. Training is not just about maxes; volume and variety matter too.
