Nice work, what did you bench at the metroflex meet ?

[runtocatch]

You know I'm starting to not like you. HAHA! Good press bro!

Gord Lord! That's great!
Any advice for someone who can't seem to break past 390lbs bench?

Ya prolly gonna have to put on about 20 pounds to make it easier bro. I know that's everybody's answer for everything but being tall sucks ass when it comes to benching especially if you have long ass ape arms.

OP does a lot of heavy overhead work. Push press and so forth with a ton of weight. I've also heard koklov presses have a lot of carryover to bench.

OK so why in the hell do people call a BTN press a Klokov press nowadays?

LOL! How do you think I got up to 390?

Thanks for the response. It does suck having long arms, but I'm determined to bench 400 by the end of November. It seemed like going up ten pounds per week was working fine 'till I hit 390.

Ya cuz there just comes a time when your height/weight starts fukkin with you pushin much more weight. That's when it starts gettin tricky and can take a long long time to achieve what you want.

That's all I've heard it called. Keep in mind I'm a complete newb when it comes to powerlifting. I've been at it for right at 3 months. What does BTN stand for? I'd rather call it something that kind of describes the lift. Plus, I never know which Russian to credit it to...

Edit: BTN = Behind the neck? Do you not put the hands as wide as possible on the koklov press?

Klokov press is easier to say than snatch grip btn press and klokov uses almost 300lbs!

your setup looks goodbut you've gotta stop that bounce stuff with the bar. That is a very bad habit and you will not get stronger by doing it. Other than those tips you have good potential.

Agree with you , but I recently changed up how I bench in competition and this has been working for me, I have the same style benching as dan green where it sinks and blows up, a lot of style May or may not work for others but I find this to be something to has increased my paused bench and explosive bench

[stevenrks]

I love overhead pressing and it's something that helped me , I'm in the 400s overhead press and lately been doing a lot of rep work in the 315 to 380 pounds , ranging from 5-10 reps

[ShortDave]

How easy was it? Would you say that you had at least 4 more in the tank?

[dan_g_28]

Nice OP. You look young, how old are you? Also, you didnt mention whether or not you're drug free, or even DRUG FREE in your original post. I'm sure you meant to, tho.

I'm also confused to if the lift was raw, raw raw, or !!RAW!!
