Agreed with Teufel. Pat keep pushing yourself for now, your body can handle it right now. When things get close, we'll set up a max out day. Easiest thing to do is set your max weight attempt and work 4 weeks back from that. Easiest thing to do would be, week #1 75%, week#2 85% week #3 95% week #4 100% - 105% - 110%.

I think handstand push up's are more impressive than a massive bench.

Have yet to hit the x2 bodyweight bench, personally I am not a great bencher never have maybe never will be. My best are 415 ( GYM ) 405 ( Meet ) at about 260lbs bodyweight. I did 600pounds at that bodyweight with a bench shirt. Take it for what it's worth.
Handstand pushups are a mess. Standing overhead presses are where its at.
