Okay I'm just gonna say that this is a thread to post about my recent accomplishment and milestone. I have been training to reach this point well since I started really. Everyone wants that 300 pound bench.

Also The bar is 50 pound for any of you Perfectionists.

But If you are knowledgable about benching/Training/Powerlifting any advice on how to fix my Lil lockout problem you'll definitely notice in the video.

Now without further ado,

Thanks man and yea weight wise m bench isn't to great. But I'm not worried about weight. I want to be as strong as my body will allow me to be.

Used to be strong Chubby and weak. Decided I never wanted to be weak again and just started gaining muscle didn't give af about weight or fat. After highschool. I plan on cutting though. But until then I plan on gaining as much strength as possible.

Nice work
Pin presses for lockout
Set the pins 2 inches below your sticking point.

[mmmason123]

glad u stuck with it and locked it out, u got heart man. Bench isnt the best for ur weight but i cant bench that much so i cant criticize that much.

Triceps = lockout.

[InfiniteExcel]

Impressive. Making me wish I started that young!

If you aren't taking 'roids (I don't think you are) you have a great set of genetics. If you keep pushing, relentlessly, you'll be a damn monster.

I applaud you for WANTING advice. Something you don't see very often in younger teenagers. Stay humble and the sky really is the limit.

For your lockout issue: Get your triceps stronger.

Thanks For the advice man, Repped. And also Completely Natrual! Haha I see no reason for steroids, as young as I am and with all my lifts are progressing a steady rate.

Slight bump at chest? But nonetheless, weight is big.

Thanks brah!!

[Lendogg]

Makes me wish I wouldve started lifting earlier. Holy **** man. Awesome lift, Keep it up!

[xBONExCROWNx]

Means if you keep lifting and working hard you're going to be strong as **** someday.

[Xuaxace]

Good stuff, I wish I could get my brother to scream at me while doing a PR... but can't really do that in a commercial gym.

Speed off the chest was really good for a PR, so definitely a sticky point 2/3 in the lift. 2 board press would do the trick just fine.

[Krowwzz]

Well done man! You're a beast already!

[Travisxx]

Thanks brah! Bench isn't my forte,much better deadlifter.!

Yeh, off my chest is really strong my lockout just sucks!! Thanks for the advice man!' might have to invest in a 2 board!!

I use my yellow pages (still with wraps) and stuff it under my jumper, comes to be a 1.5 board (2.2 inches). You could overload 30 pounds easily with that.


You could also work the triceps in isolation (I just feel that working the tricep in a bench movement will have more carry over). Other classic movements are, lying tricep extentions, jm presses, rope/var pushdowns, close grip etc.

Definition of a powerlifter

One question: why do you want to have the strength at 15 to push that weigth?

[Hellas7able]

Wow mate that was reaaly hardcore, escpecially for a 15 year old. Respect!!!! Just one thing, I just noticed in the video that your spotter doesn't look that useful, and I seriously doubt it that he can be any help if that 300lbs suddendly fall on top of you. Just saying he doesn't look all that reliable. Anyway, keep up the good work!!!

[bfmv69]

Very good job man. repped.

[kingofbigmac]

damn that's impressive
