Re: Benching your own weight once
FWIW I have what appears to be a similar build to you (6'2, 205) and it took me about 7 months to go from benching 115 three times to benching 220 twice. I worked chest once a week with a training partner that really knew what he was doing, with a couple breaks for injuries (4 weeks off total for a back injury). It's definitely within reach.
A fair bit of it though is getting really, really solid technique down pat. After that the weight comes on quickly.
