Misc forum bench comp

[Rocky3540]

The misc group is having their annual bench press comp from now till June 24th. Be nice to see a bunch of old guys come win a few divisions with me.
Currently I'm about 235 and should hit 500 or more in that division. However, summer is coming so maybe a cut to 215 which I'm not sure where that would drop my bench too with that much weight loss in that little time. We shall see.

Sounds fun, but my bench sucks. Can I identify as a 100 lb female and compete in that division? Look forward to some vids of 500lb bench though.

I've posted before but here is 495

I'll likely place in the 181 as it comes at a time of year I happen to be benching heavy. Last time I tied for 3rd, but the other guy posted his 325 1st so I got 4th.

And who you callin' old??

I am moving right now which is why I haven't posted but the good thing about being fat is I will be the only one in 276+ lol

Lol. Last year a big guy showed up on last day and put up 550. Beat my wilks by a couple points. Big guys bench too.

Just got 335 again and only in the 1st week of peaking. That magical tree fiddy is looking more and more possible!

Great lift, Rock. Been 1.5 years since I trained for "heavy" singles. Too early for me time, but might train again in the Fall.

Kill it.

I've been wearing the slingshot elbow sleeves which are just a little thicker and stiffer than something like Rhebands. Can't do that in the meet where my entry will come from, so even 335 may be struggle.

[Bando]

In with 315 @ 181. Had a scary 1st attempt so didn't push it. 10 days until actual meet entry.

I saw the vide. Was too easy. Went up like a hot knife going through butter.

Can't play in that league, your bench is bigger than my deadlift. It's going to be a few more years before my bench is anything worth talking about.

Yet you joined the forum 12 years ago.

Yeah it does take awhile.

If I had been seriously training that whole time I'd be a lot farther along that's for sure. *shrug* Major back injuries have a way of slowing things down. Joined way back, was going along pretty good even if fairly ignorant, got injured falling off a horse, got fat, spent time being too busy, finally got disgusted and got back into it, rehabbed for a while, took me a while to figure out what I was really doing, then making decent progress.

36 years old. I pressed 470 at 203 bodyweight. I just started powerlifting so hopeful number goes up!

[thebigzakbowski]

in 2nd right now. the guy in first put up about 15lbs more than my 1rm touch and go but I am still pushing to get more

[Bando]

Took 2nd with 335 @ 176. Guy beat me for 1st with 355 @ 175. Don't mind losing to a guy with a legit 2X BW bench.

He gets a lot more prizes than me though :/

[Rocky3540]

Well I guess I won.

[Bando]

'07 join dates FTW.

LOL @ these young puppers going up against us old doggos

I haven't touched a heavy BB since that entry, I would be surprised if I could get 275 x 3 at this point. Dangerous, unnecessary lift, I'll stick with my DB's until the next comp comes around.
