My entry. 374lbs@203 bodyweight. You'll have to suffer through my deadlift since this was at a National comp over the weekend and I'm not making separate videos.
Also, I have no way of verifying the weight unless I have to post the competition results. If it comes down to it and I'm running neck and neck with someone, then I'll do that. The bench footage was taken on someone's cell phone so it's not very high quality. :/

Excellent work DM!
Yep, I think you'll have it no problem. You might want to consider dropping down into lower reps as you get closer so the weight isn't a surprise.
No bench shirts, basically just raw lifts.
OK, so how does a up to 150 class sound, then the second class would be 151 to 175? Seems easy enough.
Thanks man!
Just post the youtube link and I'll embed it for you no problem.
Yep, I understand.
That was incredible HNH, Great job man!
--------------------------------------------
OK, so the men's class would look like this going forward:
- Men's
1st group up to 150lbs
2nd group 151 - 175lbs
3rd group 176 - 210

4th group 211- 240
Getsum 340lbs@217# Post #842 on 2-13-13
5th group 241 and over
I'll try to keep the standing current as we go. It's still very early and everything looks wide open.Eat, Sleep, Lift...Repeat!

Ive been having back issues so I think its best that i stop doing free weight bench pressing. No comp for me. (I have a natural arch in my back because of my disability when I free weight bench)

Why do I do this weightlifting thing for the last 34 years with all its ups and downs life has handed me? Because each time I came back stronger. NEVER GIVE UP. Gym life is about more than muscles getting bigger and weights going up. Its wisdom discipline dedication humility you name it.

I'm sorry to hear buddy, I know you been working on the bench for some time and have great progress. Hope you heal fast bro.
Thank. You made great progress as well. 340 is no joke.
Yeah not even sure what I can do now. I'm on a cut so we shall see. Video's coming this week. Hoping for 315 plus but will be fine if I can get 275

Nice man.... Hard to tell, is your butt staying on the bench?..... I ask because it can be hard to tell. I have a big butt and at times it can appear it comes up so that may be the case with you. In the second one it appears like you are coming off.
Nice lifts though for sure.RAW lifts

In my opinion the smoothness comes with practice and DELIBERATE form. This becomes a necessity when you start moving a lot of weight. If you get sloppy, you are gonna get hurt. For me, (and I am far from the best bencher and looking to improve), it is about the struggle to say "tight".
Here is a vid of one of my heavier benches, but even my form breaks down a little at the limits of strength. (you will see one are rises slightly out of sync with the other)
Also....reason I asked if your butt stayed down, in my vids, my butt is always planted, but as I flex it, it rises me up. (I just have a big butt ). That was why I was wondering if yours was rising or if it was an illusion.

Great lifts, but if I could give some tips.....
1. Try driving your heels into the ground, I have found it helps tremendously with leg drive and staying tight. This is personal preference, benching on my toes makes me feel unstable.
2. Don't exhale before you descend, it sounds like you did on both lifts and that will kill your setup and increase your range of motion. When maxing I will hold my breadth to keep tight.
3. Your shoulders...when you unrack the bar I noticed you position the bar, than it looks like you rotate your shoulders up..the bar looks like it travels upwards before you press. Get rid of that, that rotation up can hurt your shoulders.
4. After driving your legs into the ground, drive you shoulder blades into the bench (cotton shirts help keep you in place).this helps keep tight.
Loner benchers....
Except for the past four months I always benched alone and got up to some good bench numbers. When it came to unracking the weights I would setup, and while keeping tight move my ass in the air, unrack the weights and place my butt down on the bench. Almost like a fulcrum and I seldom lost my tightness.Last edited by Smelly bull; 03-01-2013 at 04:24 AM.
