Misc Raw Benchpress Competition 2016(Supps+Mod Reps)

[400Lb Gorilla]

Weighed in at exactly 242 this morning

New class maybe?

do it If for no other reason it will be interesting to see how many more people will compete with you in the 242

I made up my mind im going to do what I have to do to get into the 132 class before the deadline. It wont be that good of a lift but ill be entered. I cant plant my feet though because of my disability. Is that ok?

PM me. I have had disabled lifters compete in these with no issues. Just a modification of the "feet on the floor" rule.

haha.....im kindly going to let you know that it looks more likely that i will be in the 242lb class by time i clear my shoulder.......wuv you

Thats okay, you and arn can fight it out.... good luck

Alright guys, had to get in on this to rep HIT Supplements



After these attempts I might lose my job xD

Once I cut down a lil bit I'll put up a better video angle and hit that three hundo.

sorry bro, no lift. you got to pause that bar and although the angle made it hard to tell it looked like your ass was sliding around. that is probably a dangerous thing to do lol.

My program is calling for a 1rm on bench in a couple weeks. So I guess I'll be taking my chances in the 220 class.

aw fuk bye. It was enjoyable being in first for a little bit, anyway.

Getting this in before all the people from The Arnold come in with their strong lifts lol.


132.0...it's sub-132.2, right? Don't make me spend the rest of the day spitting, guys. Phone was having trouble focusing, this is the second time I took this and it was blurry both times, hopefully it's legible.
Here it is after playing with the contrast:


And the actual video:


Much slower and grindier than kirbly's 232, holy crap that one was impressive.

I think you are doing this to me on purpose. Good for 185@132. I only count the first three numbers cause I am lazy, so you are in the 132 class.
Are you actually struggling with that weight or just moving it slowly for the hell of it? lol you just seem to solid through the whole lift for it to be a grinding rep.

Had to get something on the board before it gets too late! It's been quite some time for me and flat barbell pressing so I'd like to see if I can do any better than this before the deadline. Not as great of a starting point as I had hoped though haha




edit: faaack I knew this would be poverty status but not that bad. Good work to all the dudes leading the way. I'll get an update on this in a few weeks!

good for 305@172. strong leg drive starting the lift. I am trying to get that "hump" into the lift as well but I feel like I am breaking my spine when I do it.

Watching all videos meow. will update in a few minutes

[400Lb Gorilla]

I am sure the bros would if the wimmen did.... jus sayin

Oh yeah, haven't you noticed the slow grinders are the ones that make the crowds lose their **** at meets?

Lol not srs, if I were able to lift like a normal person, I would.

Normal person lol

I ditto Mel on more half nakee vids, but bottomless deadlift comp would be fun.

[openyour__eyes]

Half naked lift crew. I had a hoodie on but I figured I didn't want to leave any doubt about hiding an elbow sleeve or not touching the bar etc lol

[arn710]

When does the gym transformation contest end?

Beginning of May

I likely won't be putting on any weight or doing any heavy lifting until after summer though

[TypeNirvash]

TFW totally forgot about this... Holy chit. Some really sick lifts ITT. Mirin' all of you guys on the 1st page leaderboards.

[shortharry01]

just checking back in to see if im still in first....

carry on.

[JayY400]

First time trying a paused rep above 355, but I was confident I could get it! I tried to hit 405 touch and go after this and failed half way up ):
But I am still proud that I got 385 paused!

[JayY400]

sorry I do not know how to embed it...

[TheIronAsylum]

damn i hit 365 for a triple all paused last week didnt record it

[Swuuu]

I am sure the bros would if the wimmen did.... jus sayin

More Dymatize products to be given out if this happens? lol



Everyone is killing it in here. Turning into one heck of a contest!!!

[400Lb Gorilla]

Looks like I got some catching up to do. I actually like it when I start falling behind. it means this chit is starting to move quickly!

Well if I bench shirtless I am sure most of the Reps would pull all prizes. No one wants their product associated with that

Nailed that shyt. Good for 385@186

Oh yeah you are now my least favorite bencher Now I bet you are wondering if you would have gotten the 405 if you hadn't paused the 385 before it lol. to me though a paused controlled 385 is more impressive than a touch and go 405. Although since I cant even touch and go 365 either of those numbers is fairly nice to me.

Not 500 paused nice but still, not everyone can be arn I guess

And for my own laziness

VO2Maxima- 185@132



openyour_eyes- 305@172



JayY400- 385@186

[CickSunt]

man if this was in january id be so in. fbm

[400Lb Gorilla]

Ya, he just made my list too. lol

[MentalistMan]

You dudes all put me to shame.

Good job everyone!

[JayY400]

aww come on guys... i thought that this entry would make a good first impression...
I honestly was wondering that! haha
But i figured it would help me prepare for 405, especially with transitioning from a pause to a touch and go

[NavyRoll]

4. You must weigh in. Then after the lift make sure you show the weight lifted up close. I dont need you to show each and every plate separately but i do want you to get close enough to see that you aren't fraudin'.

Here's my second entry and probably my last one too. A little uglier than what I've wanted. Tree fiddy. I actually forgot to take a close shot at the plates but I hope you can see the 10/5/2.5 plates, so you don't think I'm fraudin' lol.

Impressive

Dam impressive! There's that crazy head lift.

[ffguitarist14]

410 @ 242 from this past weekend at the Arnold. Big PR for me, I think taking 10 days off to heal the elbow helped a ton. I'll never be a great bencher but I was happy with this one.

bench is at :56

Great work.

Good for 410@242... already checked those results you sent me lol. Huge total, Kyle, you can color me fukking jealous.

9 for 9!!!! Good shyt, bro, I like your grip and rip approach to deads. 760 is looked fast as hell for having an entire full power meet before it

Thanks man I'm surprised that went up as "fast" as it did. I was expecting more of a grinder but I'm not complaining at all. It felt amazing to lock that out. Still poverty bench crew

I want a 410 "poverty" bench lol

[ffguitarist14]

I want a 410 "poverty" bench lol

Just to put in perspective... For the raw heavyweight flights I was in. I was the first lifter in my flight for every attempt for bench. Multiple 800lb raw squats and majority of deadlifts well over 700. I had the 4th or 5th heaviest deadlift with 760. 3 guys over 800. Strongest MFers I've ever seen lift in person. Most competitive meet I've ever been a part of. It was a blast to compete there.

Jesus that 700 went up so fast. Nice lifts.
