The Official Ov35 Bench Press Thread!

[lschepis]

Ok guys, u can all take ur 2xBW benches and stuck it up ur...jk. I love seeing all u big boys push the heavy stuff. I'm only at 1.1BW but I'm pulling the female card. I did 1.5 at 31 tho.

Congrats Geneius! Since it took so long to get there, prob means even more to u.

It does. When i first hi the gym in Feb i could only do 225 once. Now i can do sets of 10+. It feels good hitting a long time goal. Im not stopping there. Next is 10% BF!!! Thanks Ishepis!

Until 5 minutes ago I was pretty happy with my bench.

I guess the current phrase is "much respect"

Umm...don't know what to say. I'm in awe.

Thank you very much... Still got a long way to go until I'm satisfied. One of the perks of owning the gym- I can spend as much time on my obsession as I need.

Trick question, rawelite is God!

Ummmmm, yeah.... Ok then. I think we're good. You're on my team.

Not really competition worthy, hahaha, but this was my first attempt at 300 lb. (edit: re-calculated math....305lb!) Had to set cage as spotter. Since I had the backup and the first one felt pretty good (except for hitting the peg near top), so I decided to try a second. quickly realized it wasn't going to happen so I bailed. oh well. on a positive note...... 300 lb was my goal for end of June! Now I can work towards my 350 lb goal by Christmas.

Excellent lift. Looks like there isn't a competition anymore anyway. We have not heard from Getsum for a good while. Competing against yourself is best.

Good Job!, Nice lift!

Good God. I didn't know humans could get that strong. It's like he's doing the bar.

Did this last year as my last set of my workout. I did 315 x 5 x 5 before the lift, so I was a little spent, 212 bwt

Does it even matter that he doesn't lock any of the reps out. Holy heck batman.

[headintosa]

Didn't realize I need 50 posts to post a link. I'm 45 and 5'11 at 235lbs. Not exactly the best shape in my life but I will 50 posts and share my 425lbs and my struggle at 450lbs

Strong as an ox. Great lift.

[OutdoorsinCO]

Well ****...so much awesome in this thread. Not close to most of you but I set a new PR of 225x7 today. A calculated 1RM list it at 270 but I've noticed that was low. I think next chest day I'll go and see what I can do for 1
