Bwah ha ha!!
Yeah I feel your pain..
Before I tore MY rotator cuff.. I was benching about 340 for 5 reps...
Then I lost my workout partner, started to lose mass becuase i wasnt working out as much then WHAM!! torn cuff.
Right now I am off weigths until the begining of April... which will be the 8 week healing time docors recommend.. then I will start lifting again.
I am getting my son lifting so I should have another workout partner for the next few years at least.

I have got to get back to lifting......my best was 245 a yr or so ago...my current lifestyle just does not permit enough extra time! High school daughter, horses, small farm to tend to..1-2 acres of landscaped area..not to mention 55+ hours per wk @ work...
He!!, I struggle to find time to ride, let alone lift!!

Back in High school I was up to 250ish, but then I stopped (work, no weight set around) I picked it back up when my bro moved back with his weight set, got back up to 170ish, then my bro moved out again, took the weights with him. I have no CLUE what I can bench now..... Gotta start back up, get back in shape.

I'm on the left.
I'm a skinny boy, so don't laugh to hard 
At one time, about 6-7yrs ago, I was working out 4 times a week. Trying to put a little muscle on my bones
When I started I weighed 165lbs. One of my goals was to lift my own weight. But by the time I could lift 165lbs(my best ever), I weighed 182lbs. Grrrrrr 
I doubt I could lift 145lbs now

He!!, when I was benching 245, I weighed about 190. I'm up to a leithe 210 now
(me and my panther-like physique)I know I've lost some muscle mass...it doesn't take long.

I was benching 245 6-8 reps,4 or 5 sets.
Then I got runover by that mini van.
Now I'm nice and round.
6'1" 210 with a 34 inch waist.
Was 31 in the waist,felt great.
Some mornings now,it hurts to climb outa bed.
Miss the big giant traps the most. Use to do shrugs with 230 on the bar. One day,I hope I can lift again. Right now I'm just too beat up. I wont give up hope thou.
Rubb.

I was a powerlifter before coming in the Marine Corps.... my best working bench was 405 with a bounce. Best competition was 375 with a pause. 'Course, the corps ain't looking for Hercules - kinda frowns on it sort of... so now I am hovering in the 285 range. Did get 305 about a week ago, but it was a good day with all the stars aligned, so until it happens again...no counting it.
