Testing my bench press

I've never tested my bench press. But it's getting to the point at which I want to gauge improvements in my upper body strength. I want to aim for a goal rather than just do random upper body exercises during each cycle. So today, I built up to a 65 lb bench press. It's not horrible. In fact, it's a pretty good start! My goal is to eventually bench 1x my bodyweight.

The annoying thing about bench is that I need a spot, at least when I'm pushing it a little. It wouldn't be a pretty sight if I dropped the barbell on my chest, errr.....more painful for women than men.
