Weak grip. Could probably pull 700 if I could hold onto it.

Have you tried a lower bar rest position? Basically hold with the fingers instead of the palms?

I was going to start doing that when I work in deads again. I was told that apparently I'm creating a skin fold in my hand that actually makes the bar roll easier. Hopefully training my grip for awhile and changing my grip placement will finally help me hit 700.

Prior to starting my current cycle I was thinking of running their 8x8 off season powerlifting template for hypertrophy. It looked really good I just didn’t have all of the equipment needed in my home gym. Steve Johnson(forsaken warrior)swears by them and the dude is pulling 1000lbs on a trap bar routinely for doubles.

I've heard some good things about Bryant from a couple people. Won't actually start with him until Tuesday though. I asked him if I could be benching 400+ by nationals. He said, "If you actually put in the work". Lol. That was all the selling I needed.

He absolutely does, been to a seminar he did. Good dude, pretty accomplished coach and lifter in his day.

Seems like he's well sought after for benching. Which is the thing I probably want to work on the most. Can't help but feel I should be repping 400 by now.

Had to google those push ups... love it. For the pump and a push another one I like is ladder pushups with barbell and rack start low work up then back down. Got that from a meadows program

Kind of gave me flashbacks of doing card pushups in the clinc. Lol. Forgot how tough those can get when you're the only one cheering yourself on. Lol

Keep up the weight gain and 400+ will be a given.

I was still thinking about 1,600+ at 181. The more I've thought about it recently though, 1,800 at 220 sounds a little more manly. Might be my new goal. Lol. 1,800lbs and 18" arms.
