Official race to 405 bench

RAW bench

This has been a dream goal of mine for a long time I though it is time to hit my goal. Anyone else want to have a race.

My current: 335

yes

I am thinking about asking a guest speaker to attend this thread to give us some tips. I'll have to ask him though his name is Rob T.

[IcedEarth111]

also in at 330

[mikeatnscc]

355x3 is this Thursday.. and I may have a spotter, always wanted to throw 8 plates on and see if I can get one rep.

[Doollas]

I'm pretty sick of these threads at this point, but I suppose I'm in. Hit a paused 335 a few weeks ago, will test max on a legal wide bench (the 335 was on a skinny bastard and was sliding off). Hoping for 350 by year's end...this could be a long race lol.

[mikeatnscc]

I'm going to periodically bump this thread. If there are any updates fill us in.

In- 365 TnG, 355 pause are my PRs. Not sure if we are talking about: a pause bench, a competition pause, or (my preference) a TnG/however the hell you can go from point A to B back to A without assistance.

Also, can we make a groundrule that anybody who posts a video with a spotter touching the bar in any way, shape, or form after a lift off and before lockout and allegeswill be negged by all?

When I get home I think I am going to get some rules together to make this a little more official I never though about the other possibilities.

I like this idea negs for all you bro spots.

[LegosInMyEgos]

In, 340 bouncy bench.

[mikeatnscc]

sounds like were going to have an interesting comp

[Crash49]

just got back from the gym, did 275x9 for my last set on the first week of 5-3-1. Wendler's max calculator puts me at 360 max, but I doubt it.

[PeonLover]

In at 385 prior to a myriad of pec injuries which have left me fatigued when I do 135x20

In!! 325 raw and paused.

This competition is raw AND paused right?? Considering it is the powerlifting section....

i've never done a paused bench in my life brah

[xc_mtb]

In! Current max is 335. This will probably take me forever, but suppose I can give it a try anyway

[mikeatnscc]

I am considering running Smolov jr. soon to see if it will boost my bench up to 345, wish me luck

[el67ko]

In w/345 paused, no idea what my TNG bench is.

[Link815]

A race thread I'm actually passed! For the first time ever. Ed Coan is the magic trick!

Unless it's paused 405.. I still haven't done that..

[skiboy1955]

In at 365 x 3, 2 weeks ago.

Make a thread for a 500 or 545 bench for those of us who've passed up the 400 mark.
