    I saw the video on the deadlifting the 500 for weights. Like you said, seeing someone move heavy weights will convince your mind that you can do it. Do you have any videos of you doing the close grip bench? I'm curious on your grip, position of your elbows,etc.

    Thanks Ben.

    Actually this is just maintenance work. I'm usually good for 425-435.
