Hi Elliot,
the poundage for the bench is not a big deal, but personally I prefer or at least try to achieve one thing at a time. If you take the bench on a backburner for a while chances are that you will make greater gains in the squat. And if you had a 300lbs bench I think you will regain the bench very fast...
You had both hips replaced? Respect that you still train and take care.
Regards,
Peter
