[benbriz]

Yes 15lbs is an easy cut. 20lbs sucks a little.

I would rather OHP than flat bench, but I started out as an OL'er.

Ben's gettin' his swole on!!!!!!

I like it. A lot of guys do not any more, but back inna' day, if you could press well you could bench well, while the reverse was not always the case.

Assassin is doing well with his push press in his log right now.

Thats what I was thinking. Im going to challange Assassin to a race to 315. (Im behind obvoiusly)

I got the idea to start up with them from his log. Looking for pointers, brah.

Very good.

Let me look through your log. If you have vids of your OHP, it would be a thing of beauty. Of course, I want both of you to do well.

Im good, but ill bet Adrian is sore.

[theduffman]

So I'm doing a bench only competition in a couple of weeks - been back in the shirt and doing the stuff you told me to last time I was in it (heavy boards monday, full range friday thinking of moving it back to thursday), just with some more GPP and hopefully I'll be able to hit a little bit higher numbers around at least 20 pounds less bodyweight. I guess the point of this post is thank you for teaching me the basics of shirted training lol

EDIT: BTW I thought you were ranked on pliftingwatch.com back in the day, what is your real name again?
