Asylum Numbers

[p03t1c]

what are these lockouts? are they chain suspended?

and one more question...whats with the odd numbers for maxes? do you use KG plates as opposed to LB plates? just curious

hannibal- i dont think 408 x 2 on any l ift is considered "sucking" ...at least by my standards

Well I will NEVER make an excuse for my lifting. I did have a bigger range of motion on these, but who gives a fuck. I should have moved more weight than that. Props to Spatts and Project...I gotta get my ass going if I am going to be ready for Sept 14th.

p03t1c...they were rack lockouts...top 4-6" or so.

i think spatts sold her soul to the devil for a good bench press.
nice work.

Considering I was benching the bar 5 months ago, you'd think so!

I have no idea what's going on. I was never a bencher, and now it's passing up my SQUAT! Quadzilla is benching more than her squat....it's killing my numbers.

ohh i see...
so 5 months ago we'll say you could lockout 100 lbs... if you were lucky

now you can lock out 408 lbs...

308 lb gain in 5 months... not bad... not bad at all.

Well, it was 309 in May when the thread started. I don't know if we DID CG Lockouts before that. Can't remember. I kind of wonder what my wide grip lockout max is.

Yeah, don't let her fool you. Seeing her in action is even more impressive than reading posts about it.

Yeah, Hannibal bought the cut-rate plates that were missing a pound or two, so we have to do math all the time.

The upshot is, he has it all memorized, so we just let him deal with it.

Thanks btw...for the record, I got 309 for 2, then 320 for 1, then 331 for 1. After 309 beat me twice, I was glad to get under there and nail it.
