I am a 44 year old male. We have a full gym at work at work. I started working out at lunch with 2 of my co-workers in May.When I started I could do a 1 rep max of around 200 in the bench press. As of last week my 3 rep max was 350. I usually do about 15-17 with 225 to warm up. The bump up to 275 for 8 reps, then 315 for 4-5 rep max. Then drop back to 225 to burn out 10-13 reps. The we do incline, decline, flys, and one other exercise that varies. I have gained a lot of size and for the first time today we measured our arms and I cam in at 20.5 "
Here is my questions.
1. My goal is a 400lb bench. Will it be a lot slower to 400 than it was 200 to 300.
2. I am not getting a lot of definition. Do I need to do more reps?

Lifting coworkers is not recommended, their weight may vary from day to day, and they are hard to keep balanced. But I must admit lifting two of them is pretty amazing.
