50 plus and 300 plus (Bench)

[Bando]

I need a normal world again...



As normal as it gets for us gym rats anyway

Fine, but just one question. How many keyboards you been through? I only ask cuz you seem like the kind of dude who's particularly hard on keyboards, and if so I recommend a good mechanical model that can withstand vigorous typing.

and I know what you're thinking, but rest assured the added upfront cost will pay off in the long run.

lol ya 3 laptops in a yr, my newest has speech typing hoping this one lasts ..... lol

And my latest max is 282.5 on my way back to an over 60, 300lb bench ... Let's see if YOU can do that when you hit 62 yrs old....Bye

I think my one rep max is about 250 but I really never bench. I did for a few months consistently this summer though.

My goal is to hit 300... Hopefully by the time I hit 50. But I'll have to start getting serious about it again.

Why so angry at the world, dude? You're on the right track with the training which is awesome, but the hostility isn't positive, is it?

Coming back and adding the 2nd line to your reply 3 weeks after posting is fuked up. Try giving what's up with that some thought.

and take this for what it's worth, but what's the point of being an old buff dude if you're bitter as fuk?

Why so angry at the world, dude?

because he's a dick who just posted a vid of some guy peeling 300 (for a rep) off his chest in an attempt to impress someone....

This guy has always been a piece of work. I'll admit I get hot headed about some topics outside of lifting, but this asshat will argue about literally anything including lifting. If you lift more than him, that's a problem, if your pool is clearer than his, well that's a big problem.

The funny thing is he actually has a decent build and decent lifts, he's just got a screw loose and a chip on his shoulder.

This is one guy I would never invite to a meet up.

Hombre...
that dude is his wife.


And I'm glad I'm not the only one who's seeing this guy as having a few screws loose.

Good job Charlie.

Charlie, I’ll be checking your journal later, I’ve had too sleep for about 16 hours due to an old time strongman lift I did with my teeth, pain level was at a 6, now I’m down to a normal 1.

Chaz is silly guy, the world would suck if everyone was as cool as you and weren’t emotonal lol.

[mtpockets]

My hats off to anyone pushing over 300 over 50.. Nice work folks.
