The Race to a Four-Plate Bench Press (and onward)
Continuing the trend of the six-plate deadlift ([url]http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?p=497035851[/url]) and five-plate squat ([url]http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?p=517842743[/url]) threads, welcome to the race to a four-plate bench press!
This will take well over a year - perhaps years - but this log will show what dedication and hard work can do. This will be just like any other log, but will only be about bench pressing.
Welcome to our journey.
The rules:
-If you bench press, you post.
-If you think about bench pressing, you post.
-If you are planning an awesome PR, you bring a camera.
-If you fail a bench press... Ehh, screw it. It's not as impressive as a failed deadlift or squat.
-If you win, you don't really win. Keep posting.
-We will try to arrange for insane mod reps for winners.
-Monetary prizes can be discussed at a later point in time.
-For your four-plate bench press, you may only use chalk and a powerlifting arch (optionally). Touch n' go - if you can get 405 off your chest, you get credit. NO BOUNCING.
-Since this contest includes people with varying bench press strength, we will judge a winner in the "most progress" category, the "strongest" category, and the "relatively strongest" category (using the Wilk's Coefficient: [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilks_Coefficient[/url]).
