If you do try this make sure that you go to an actual gym and you have a definite number as to how much you are presently, the main reason being that the old cast iron bars generally differ in weight, but I have never heard of one weighing as much as 45 lbs as an olympic bar would. That and just benching your max once doesn't do much for you, better to slowly increase your weight until you are comfortable bench pressing more.
