my 495lbs bench with spotter,not so good :(

[BIEN_DIESEL]

i work 10 hours a day and after work i hit the casino for 2 hours, i made alot of money but time was running out, i knew its almost 12am and the gym will close, i carb up for 2 weeks and slept good for 2 weeks to prepare for this, this is just a try out, and 15 minuts to warm up back before i try my max out before 12am.

warm up with 225lbs 15 reps
315lbs 7 reps
405 1 rep
455 1 rep
then 495lbs right before the gym close down, i got the front desk guy to spot me, he was scared as **** bc he can only bench 315lbs and fear if i went down, he would go down also. Told him not to pull , just keeps his hands down there incase i locked out, obviosly he doesnt know how to spot well, but i know he didnt pull up hard or anything, maybe 2 inches where my chest is and once i got a good arch, i know i can power it up.



i know theres gonna be alot of bodybuilding misc nazis and power lifter nazis about forms and so on and blah blah, i dont care, i did it for the lol bc i promoised id try to make a 495lbs bench and show effort.

i got all the way till x mas to bench past 500lbs


i weigh in at 210lbs, no juice and work all day, didnt eat meat (steaks)for a few days, big regret

I usually yell "don't touch" if I see them starting to reach.

"I always say, don't touch **** until I turn blue." I'm still waiting for some wise ass to take that serious.

[LI_DSM]

brah what are you using to grip the bar and y?

(srs curious)

[Dysfunqtional]

wow STRONG bench, I wish I could even do 225 GJDM

edit: they need to give spotting classes when you sign up for a gym, unless thats how you requested him to spot you.

[BIEN_DIESEL]

i had him touch the bar bc i havent bench my personal best of 475lbs in almost 2 years, last time i did, i thought i was superman and half way up my left elbow tendon gave out, took me till this day and still havent healed up. i put up 455lbs easy and i said fugg it, ill give it a try.

yes the front counter guy is cool as hell but he doesnt workout, he is huge but cant rep out 315lbs easy liek i do, i can do 16 reps like no tomorrow.


been off the sauce since july 4th, drama and buncked gears got me nowhere so i gave it up. i hate deca incase u guys wondering.


i wear paper towels ,. bc the chrome bar olympic bar are slippery when u get sweaty hands and i dont want to lose grip with that much weight. Icaught warts on my hands before twice at the gym.

Fukn strong brah, what a hassle with the ****ty spotter! I always tell people who I get spot me "DONT TOUCH THE BAR UNLESS I SAY SO!" and somehow some douches still manage to do so.

Im trying to figure out how I squat more than you and your bench is at least 200 pounds more than mine.

Seriously though, good job man

[xmarshhhhhh]

Crazy strong, GJDM

If I could somehow get the bar off the hooks(doubt it would happen) I would be decapitated immediately.

[TheSheepdog]

are you powerlifting competitively?
If not, then do you think that you are risking injury?
