2017 Misc Raw Benchpress Competition(Supps and Mawd Reps)

[cartermathis]

Will be getting in on this. I have a buddy who hit a 500 lb bench with 2 second pause should inform him of this lol

[BeastinFitness]

Hit 342 in competition w/ a few lbs left on the platform, went 3/3 on bench but it's definitely different than in the gym. Not the same bar you're used to so gotta feel out your grip on the fly, calibrated kilo plates, and all the other factors of a meet. Went 314-330-342. In hindsight, if I went something like 308-325-350 i'm pretty sure it would've been there but I can't complain. It was my first meet. Will post the vid later.

In the bench comp you put on last year I hit 315 in the gym, so still pretty pleased with 342 in competition a year later or so.

Here is a little 455 at 236 just to get something on the board.

God damn it rocky

You make me feel small why you my weight leave now

[ccmarks]

Are we allowed to use micro plates?

[anandagirl]

Are we allowed to use micro plates?

I don't see why not? Weight is weight

[YouMadOrMirin]

The micro plates need to be 3 times bigger!

Watching these videos now so stand-by for the edits If your name, weight lifted, bodyweight, and video are the only things I leave in this post, it means your lift is good and I am getting ready to do the copy and paste thing to the leaderboard lol.

Haven't tried going over 225 yet so this is it for now.

You forgot to show the paper during the lift. The benchpress is good, but cannot count it without the other part.

Long pause!

Need to show more leg...no homo.

Would you prefer yoga pants or short shorts?(no homo)

Here's my first attempt: 255@201.5. Sorry for the long ass setup and the bad angle.

Good for 255@201

I think you practiced that pause

Here is a little 455 at 236 just to get something on the board.

Good for 455@236

I wish I could just hold 455 on my chest for that long and then still push it like a warm up In fact I wish I could do that with 355. Solid plug on the chiro service. You own it/work it? Or did they help you out?

And this is why I fear bench in a real competition!! Much respect. A pause of any kind is a whole different animal than a touch and go, and a long pause is like an alien

I'm pretty sure Hammy will put up more than that before this is over.

So, my pause isn't as long as you prefer either, but I gotta post at least one entry, 100#. I did weigh fully clothed with lifting shoes on, but I am solidly in the over 185 class nekkid. Hammy put up the first strong entry, I will put up the first weak one Sorry if I did anything wrong, I didn't think I had singles planned for today until I got to the gym and didn't have a chance to review the rules. DQ this entry if you need to!

Would have put up one for 105 but first forgot to continue recording my plates and paper and then I missed 110. I'll work on at least 110 by the end of the contest. Hammy Hammy Hobbes put up the first strong entry in the women's group and I'll put up the first weak entry at 55% of my body weight....

Good for 100@191

How tall are you? That bar looked like it took a long ass trip to the top.

Are we allowed to use micro plates?

microplates are legit. The collars don't count, though.

Congrats, how much you weigh?

When you putting one in? Didn't I read you had a meet coming up?

[Rocky3540]

Chiro plug, she gave me a free shirt. . Anyone want to give me free preworkout? When I hit 500 I'll give it all the credit.

lol it is funny you say something like this. The first few competitions I tried to get it to where one of the Supp Companies would sponsor the Overall Winners or something like that(if the winners and the company agreed that the people were good fits, of course) but I could never get one to bite


I figured the Company could toss some cool stuff the OW's way for a while and the OW would rep the Company's products in some strong as fuk videos for that same time.

So I got a month to get my paused bench to 355....


Edit: shyt, lol, strong lack of reading comprehension. You are not in my weight class

Heck yeah. I haven't done a bench comp in several years. I'd love to do one and Rep some people.

[YouMadOrMirin]

LMAO I would have to lift 380 at 165 to beat Rockys wilks score for overall. What in the fuk lol.

Now that's a legit pause, my pause hangs its head in shame compared to this. Nice work! No doubt you can bump the wt up, that looked like no prob for you. LMAO at "Hammy Hammy Hobbes," I wish they'd let me put that on my driver's license.

Here is my 342lb 3rd attempt bench in comp. as a junior @ 231lbs

April 29, gunning for 350 @ 181.

Good luck

Unfortunately i have to go up against beasts like ^ in the 242 class :/ fat atm. Im gunna go ahead and make the excuse that you've got 20 years on me to make myself feel better. lol

20 years ago I had just gotten 315. Took me 20 years to get this far. Of course I took my 20's off and started hitting it hard when I turned 30.

Please don't or be in the next weight class up lol

How about those 80's basketball shorts?

Strong lifts in here.

puts my poverty bench to shame

Throw a lift up anyway! The way I see it, any lift is better than no lift. There's a lot of guys who can bench 2x their bodyweight, so I fully expect to get blown out of the water, but it's always good to know where you stand. Gives you something to work towards

[Bando]

Please don't or be in the next weight class up lol

Sad thing is 350 @ 181 probably won't be good enough for 1st.

Benching 3 times a week per Sheiko comp prep right now. Hit 335 again today

[400Lb Gorilla]

PM me your name and the results of the competition when they post them up. Strong lift and congrats on nailing all three attempts.

Thanks a lot man! Next time ill prob space the attempts out better to maximize my third attempt. 350 was def. there on this day, but i spaced my attempts pretty close together. It's kinda a game of strategy lol. Not even mad though. I was shocked at how few people hit all 3 attempts on bench. Ill pm u when they post the results. It'd be cool if this misc comp had classes like junior/open/master but theres prob not enough entries to have age groups.

[IPlayRugby]

Maybe in if I can get my bench back up to scratch

[beefcake66]

This could be fun...
Gonna have to practice my video skillz

I hate you so much... The state record for raw bench press at 18 is 360lbs. Last time I did it I did 245lbs. I've been benching twice a week as of late hoping to work on it some more. 3 plates is my goal one day.

[TheJizzle]

Got a bench meet in june, so going to put up a lift, when I get closer to peaking. Here is 364 @ 204lbs.
