anyone want to race to 365 bench?

[Retardo-pex]

It is a big goal and a far fetched one but my bench goes up very easy and it always has. I feel like I need to reach it because it gives me a big goal to strive for while my back heals. I`ll post in June if I did it. Even 350 would be a huge accomplishment from 290 in February

I'd agree, that would be amazing progress as well.

hit 315 for a double today. wanted a triple but I couldn't seem to get my groove right. will post vid later.

First week of Smolov bench done
Mon. 205 6x6
Wed. 215 7x5
Fri. 230 8x4, last set was tough
Sat. 245 10x3 they were all easy

Probably going to bump 10lbs on first 3 workouts and maybe 15 on the 10x3 depending on how the sets go. For the most part it was taxing but the weights were not very hard, I feel like I could do more but I'll stick to what weights are called for in most cases.

In at 315, my goal was only 330 by june but a little competition puts a little drive in me

Currently doing this

phase II that is. Try phase I out helped me increase 25 pounds.

[BigStewTheJew]

Don't listen to anyone who says u can't OP. Brb my bench has gone 50 lb(5 reps) and from tng to small pauses each rep since mid-ish November

[MikeMadden96]

Apollo that looks pretty cool I'll check it out after Smolov, and I know Stew, bench increase comes easy for some people like both of us so I'll see where I'm at in June. I could probably get 305 right now maybe 315 and I'm still 200lbs so I would like to gain 5-10

[Hulkingseason]

My weight: 67Kg, length 1,73

Set new personal benchpress record yesterday: 308lbs at 4 reps

Mikemadden you might want to take a break between that and smolov. like a deload week. its very taxing on your body

Yeah I had one planned. I'm debating on seeing my 1rm because it was 290 about a month and a half ago and most of the smolov sets are feeling like next to nothing so I feel like I should get a better idea when I do the one you showed me or smolov again

In, I'm thinking late April or May would be a reasonable time frame to give 365 a shot.

[neverquit2012]

In. Hit 330 a few months back but got really sick. Back up to 315 now.

Well now that my dick's hard I'm in too at 350 tng today



Just kidding. I hate these threads because there's always a guy who wants in who's sandbagging and slams it out within a week or two of the race starting.

Mmmmmmmm, so sexy

[spotmebrah]

My friend says I won't get it by the end of June, I'm at 290 right now. I'm doing touch and go, anyone want in?

In. At 330lbs paused now.

[MikeMadden96]

In. At 330lbs paused now.

I think you're the closest

[Synthetickiller]

I'm in. It'll be for 363 (I use kg plates, but I can always put 166kg just for kicks, lol)

My best bench was 335 (paused) @ 190. Took a year off (not by choice) & i'm now trying to get back there.

I'm at 275x6 paused (good for 2 more reps, I think). I'll max 2 weeks & see where I actually am. I don't do touch & go, even in training besides under 100 lb warm ups.

[DidNotReadL0L]

Hit 305x1 today



the race is heating up (not srs)

[ecchastang]

I will jump on this as well. Although I don't think it will happen until the end of the year. I hit 325 for an ugly double Saturday. I tried to put a link to the youtube video but it said I didn't have enough posts. Back in August my 2 rep max was 295. My long term goal is 2.5xBW TnG.
