@adamssz Yea, I'm a long time lurker. The only videos I have are from last year. I'll try to get a new one soon. I recently injured my hand preparing for a strongman comp last week. I should be back in action in about a week.

Since you can't embed the video, it's a clean drop set of 405 x 4, 315 x 4+1 assisted, and 225 x 4. Fukin mirin brah, that's strong as hell.

Have you ever competed in powerlifting or bodybuilding?

You should keep postin, we need more lifters on the misc.

[Lpenny]

I decided not to film my bench til I hit 405. Did 375x3 today, so I'm going for 405 next week.

[solidsnake88]

what progressions are you guys using to get big benches?? i've been stuck at the same bench for the past year....completely reset and working my way back up for the third time, progressing from linear to periodized training, finished 5x5, currently on madcow 5x5, then will switch to texas method then 5/3/1.

I start at a light-moderate weight, rep it to failure 3-4 sets. Next week I add 20 lbs and do the same thing. Eventually I max out and reset.

[Bando]

I usually don't bench, just press heavy dumbells. If I sign up for a PL comp I'll check my 1rm 10 weeks out, invariably I won't be happy with that and will run a Sheiko template, just the bench portion. But I'm a miniscule presser compared to some of the beasts ITT, so don't listen to me.

[BrUuh]

Crazy how some claim to bench 135 first time at the gym weighing like 140 pounds. Lol'd I started working out at 14, could barely bench the bar. Took me maybe a year and a half to hit a 135 bench at 15? Was benching maybe 185 at 16, and ever since just play around with 205-225.
I just don't believe the misc, even the people I see at the gym, will I rarely ever see anyone go above 205+. But then you guys post videos and man I just don't know. I guess where I live theres a bunch of low testosterone pussies

Thanks bro! Yea, I competed once in bodybuilding in 2014. I came in 2nd place as a SHW but I looked horrible so I don't really consider that an accomplishment. I haven't competed in powerlifting but plan to in 2016. I've done 2 strongman comps which I won my class in (HW) at 2013 Battle of Baywood in DE and 2013 Pennsylvania's Strongest Man. I just enjoy lifting heavy and trying to get as strong as I possibly can. Honestly, I don't follow any training methods like 5-3-1 or 5x5 and don't have any specific methods to how I train other than by how I feel that day. I'll definitely keep posting more.

[EthanHun]

Alright fellas, I'm steppin out for the evening, but keep the videos comin! Lot's of good chit ITT so far. Reps WILL be delivered.



Surprisingly enough, back when I was bodybuilding I could hit 295 for 3 but still couldn't hit 315 for a single. I tried 315 on 3 different occasions times after I hit 295x3 and failed it every time, I was like WTF?... but still, close enough, reps will come off r/c. GJDM



Nice brah, a loss of 2 reps on that for a 24lb weight cut aint too shabby. How long did you cut for? did you use IIFYM/myfitnesspal or do a meal plan bro diet type of deal?

Gotta ya bre-

went up pretty easy maybe i can get 335 or tree fiddy with a spotter idk

strongman is freakin nuts bro... got some buddies at my gym who train/compete in it and I'm always amazed at their work capacity. I feel like if I tried to compete in strongman I would have a heart attack from my poor cardiovascular conditioning lol (semi srs).

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to EthanHun again.

Not sure if I repped you previously in this thread or somewhere else, but I'm apparently on spread with you...

Either way nice and easy 3 plate bench. GJDM.

loled at needing to be on gear to rep 225 on bench. Only on the misc

Are you planning to drop down again op?

Ironically enough, IRL is 10x more likely to think youre on gear if you bench 225. The misc is where everyone repped 225 first time they walked into the gym and think anything less than 315 is mediocre

[Bando]

Crazy how some claim to bench 135 first time at the gym weighing like 140 pounds. Lol'd I started working out at 14, could barely bench the bar. Took me maybe a year and a half to hit a 135 bench at 15? Was benching maybe 185 at 16, and ever since just play around with 205-225.

give it time Btah, when I was in college I was really happy to get 200. Took me 6 years of consistent lifting to get 300. Didn't really work to get 315, just knew I was too strong all around to not be getting 315.

[baize82]

I didn't see raw mentioned anywhere so...

460 single ply


315x7 raw

[Oko93]

Hit 345 today TnG, nice new PR

[Vigilante_Inc]

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vKtHuLsRNJc

225 x 20 reps
This is my best 225 for reps attempt. Other note able bench milestones: 315 x 6 and 365 x 1

Dont have videos of the last ones though.

[Dschreiver]

op bcos my 350 was unacceptable i guess. Ill throw up a 315 video next chest day, can hit that pretty easily with good form

[Bando]

Some DB action today, 125 lb DB's at 175 BW.



Was fun to give the big boys a try anyway

Hell ya man! 2nd round of reps to you in this thread. Great work for weighing 175lbs no doubt. Thanks for reviving the thread!



I actually hit a PR on bench myself tonight

Mock meet for my bench press, ended up going 347 - 363 - 385, which was a 10lb PR for close grip and 5lb all-time PR regardless of grip. When I do mock meets or am testing a new 1RM sometimes I like to use the kilo plates at my gym just because I know they are accurate, whereas "normal" american 45lb plates can have anywhere from a 1-5lb discrepency on average from wear and tear or poor manufacturing quality control.



This was the result of doing the Sheiko Intermediate Large Load Prep Cycle I, II and Competition Cycle the last 3 months after my last push/pull meet. Almost immediately in the first training block my pec started feeling strained, and by the end of the first month I decided to move my grip into close grip to take some stress of the pec and have been benching with a close grip exclusively for the past 2 months.

Now gonna take a week off benching and get some ART sessions to hopefully resolve this pec strain I've been dealing with for the past 3 months, and ideally get back to benching with my normal wide-grip leading into my competition in January.

I could bench 135 for 11 reps at 132 lbs body weight when I first started. My previous workout experience was just pushups and situps and stuff.

My bench still sucks though. Still can't bench 2 plates. Feelsbad.

[adamsz]

Training footage from last night:

390 for a 5lb PR:



400 for a 15lb PR:



now just gotta go over 400 in competition in 8 weeks...
