I have a friend who is natural here in Oklahoma who weighs 219 and can hit 420 on bench for a single. He is an extraordinary powerlifter, as he has squatted 605lbs in competition. His training methods are way different than mine . His typical bench workout might look like this:

135 x 5
225 x 5
315 x 3
365 x 3 w/belt, bench shirt, wrist wraps and deep arc
405 x 1 w/belt, bench shirt, wrist wraps and deep arc
425 x 1 w/belt, bench shirt, wrist wraps and deep arc

towards his competition, he will really focus on pausing. This workout above will last an hour . He takes long rests in between sets. Afterwards he will perform some incline work, with 3 x 5. Very strange.

Louden,

Where in OK? We have been recruiting more and more Okies. Just added Vulgar Display of Power to the group. Now we have members from Tulsa (me) Stillwater (bigokie) and OKC (VDOP) as well as a recent Arkansas transplant (Screwball).

Holler at me sometime and maybe we can train together if you don't live out in the panhandle somewhere.
