No spotters, or exercise machines. Only Barbell like in the picture.

It took me a while but I can do 85 pounds, 6 times.

It's hard to grab the barbell of the rack with more pounds and get into ready position, but after that it's not so bad.
I used to be able to do quite a bit. Then, when I was about 19, I had a pretty good weight over my head (doing reps) and my left shoulder dislocated. Had to toss the bar away with my right arm, just nearly crushing my knees (I was sitting on a bench). Went into the kitchen (grey-faced, sweating and shaking) and asked my roommate if he could help me get my shoulder back in the socket. He had no clue what to do. Finally it went back.

Terrible experience.

Benching is much easier then Military, I think.

Why the big difference?

You take the barbell off a squat rack? We have rubber weights and lift it off the ground. We usually do 1 rep and then drop it to the ground, repeating process. Sometimes we include squat. It's a b****. I forgot what it was called. We use are legs too so maybe not quite the same?
