No, those days are long past me. In years past at a higher BW (~185) I maxed out at 225x14 and 275x5, which both equate to over 315. But anytime I lift heavy for an extended period my left shoulder starts to hurt and I have to take a break, and this seems to be getting worse with time. My shoulder is still sore from my last bench workout a few days ago and it might be time for another break.
More likely in the short term I try to lose more weight and get weaker as a result.
It is ok. A few years ago I was having lower back problems to the point it hurt to carry my (then) toddler son around. Now he is 7 and I can play basketball with him pain free, so keeping some perspective I dont see any need to push things that hurt, and risk other things that are more important.
