Maybe, but he still got roasted.

Yeah it would have been better if the guy didn't deadlift like 170lbs less than dlt but it was still a win.

Your sig looks like it could use a Slingshot. Visit dubyadubyadubya.howmuchyabench.net

This is the second time I've tried to neg you, stupid spread thing.

Btw I'm quite happy with my bench.

Did you figure out your ratio thing yet? Are we the best benchers here?

this. waiting for the equation

Yah I've got no issue with Mark Bell selling them, I think its the fact he is calling them an "invention" that people are annoyed with.

It's all part of the marketing. He hasn't invented anything ever. He's made things look pretty, or modified slightly, or gives a pretty package but he knows how to keep pushing and I'm happy to see him succeed in what he loves to do.

this. waiting for the equation

height/(arm length*2)? Because arm length * 2 should = height. (as they say)

something random i found (chart of increase benchpress and arm length):

Not a chance in hell so long as I post in here.

But once we factor in Cawk size, you're out...

[TrettinR]

Sure, if you don't have a torso.

Btw I'm quite happy with my bench.

But why? I thought we were friends. And that's because you rep'd me before.

It don't matter if the guy saying it could pull 100kg or was Andy Bolton. Come on, that was funny regardless. Sometimes you gotta say "touché" and take the hit.

[Randoja]

445x2 today big PR, 10 days out. A 500lb squat at 198 might be in the cards for me. Loving these SBD sleeves.

Subtle nod to the camera at 0:20? Looked easy...

[SPFjudge]

Any of the PL fam gonna be at USAPL Nationals this year?

Real nationals or raw nationals? I'll be at real nationals.

[SPFjudge]

I realize you have to be a mark bell nuthugger, but do you really need to put them in your mouth?

Lol!

[Randoja]

Yeah I was hot doggin lol. Thanks bro, thinking my attempts will be 435,470,500.

[TrettinR]

Ahhh yes. Good ol' real nationals where most of the weight classes have only 2-4 open competitors.

[Big.Jazayrli]

Real nationals or raw nationals? I'll be at real nationals.

the really raw nationals, yo.

[thom2355]

This is the second time I've tried to neg you, stupid spread thing.

Btw I'm quite happy with my bench as it is something I only do for this silly powerlifting thing. Will be a non-factor once I compete in my true calling of strongman.

Fixed.

You don't count. You are getting fatter. (which I approve of)

Damn, maybe I should go for 500 on Saturday since I hit 452x2 a couple weeks ago.

Oh lawd.

[NorthStrong]

455x2 = 500?

Those are strong squats Randoja, nice work.

[thom2355]

455x2 = 500?

Those are strong squats Randoja, nice work.

It may be a stretch, but not that much. If it were a triple, I would say 500 no problem. Even though it was a double, there was a lot of activity between reps....so with a bit better reps 3 may have been there. Good third IMO.

Randoja....while all the activity between reps?

Yeah I waas thinking that it could be a bit of a stretch but if he's gonna peak or deload before then he'll get some supercompensation and be stronger. 3rd attempts are the right time to go for a bit PR though so it is probably a good call!

Do it!

Thanks man 445x2, I hit 465 already this training cycle. I think it's my time for 500.

Between reps I like to breath and reset. After the 2nd rep I was just messing around looking at the camera before I reracked it.

I plan to deload, I'll bench tomorrow, hit my 3 openers on Saturday (7 days out) and then pretty much chill all week.

I guess it depends on the person. Last cycle I hit 446x2 with maybe a little in the tank and I got a 480 max. This cycle I hit 452x2 with maybe alittle in the tank, so I'm thinking more like 490 not 500.

Your life, but I assure you all that moving between reps is not going to go so well when you are moving the heavier weights. Letting out part of your air and drawing it back in while staying tight is one thing. Doing the Cupid Shuffle is another.

You got the same chart I do. It has never really let me down on any lift.

Not sure what you are referring to, I don't see all that much excessive moving around between the 2 squat reps.
