The Official Ov35 Bench Press Thread!

[boathead]

good job!

i'm starting to get my irish up.... am in last place out of all the entrants. amnotlikingthisonebit.

[Getsum]

Well, nvm. I decided to just go down stairs and see what I got. I've been on a 14 week cut, the last week I've been on keto, so perhaps I could do better. At any rate, I was 173 lbs this morning. The form on this vid sucks. I pretty much lifted straight into the rack. Feet were flat, but butt moved. It was also touch and go, but not a bounce. I went for 260 immediately after this and also recorded it, but the stupid camera moved and pointed too high, so basically all you get is the sound of me grunting, then dumping the weight after I fail to lock it out. Sad as it is, here's 245.

Good lift man!

[hammerfelt]

Added 40 pounds to my bench doing a 3 week Smolov Jr cycle.

Here is my video of 405 pounds.

OK hear goes: I bench heavy shirted on Tuesday. This video is from today (Wed). In the video I say 330 lbs. That is my bodyweight.

Not too bad after 2 days in the 110 degree heat index we got right now.

I was gonna hold this one back. But, after seeing some of the heavies do some serious lifting I decided to go ahead and post this too.

Good job guys!

Hey Drux! I just realized that I didn't even post after your lift... sorry dude! Yeah.... it was a good lift but your butt came off the bench so I can't count it for the comp.

I'm having the same problem too right now lol... damn it!

Holy hell Dave! You are a LARGE human being! LOL! Nice job big guy!

Funny you say that.... Most people say I look smaller in pics and vids. For comparison, my spotter is 6'2" and weighs 270lbs.

[hammerfelt]

Monster bench David! A little competition is always good to improve your lifts. Thank you for posting!

It's not the bans... lol.... it's everyone wanting being too scared to post unless the lift is going to lead the category.

Doesn't have to be a damn PR people! Just get something in!

Not that either, I don't go for PR attempts every week. Maybe once, sometimes twice, a month.

I'm also trying to cut down to 178# by the end of summer which might hinder my strength gains. I still have a good amount of fat though so we'll see.

Here's some reps from last Sunday:

7-31-11 225x11 with a yell for help at the end, lol…need to keep that camera man on his toes!

You've already got TWO lifts in Gets so it's all good.... mostly I'm talking about people who haven't even posted one at all yet!

[boathead]

i've been in every comp so far, and the pattern is an initial flurry.....and then a bunch of nothing until the end.

i'll keep posting up if i have something to post. i hit 245 the other day, but my ass came off the bench, so FAIL.

Good stuff! At least you'll have some guys in this comp who are capable of pushing you!

If you don't have a spot, just consider this an "opener" and don't kill yourself lol.
