They just do man. They feel totally different. You have to balance the weight even when they touch the boards. You don't have to maintain that kind of control when they come down to the safety pins.

Trust me on this one...

so did you get your squat rack for Christmas?

Good work on the PR Jeremy.

6board is crazy. I never go above a 5 board and that is exclusively with a close grip for me, otherwise, the ROM would be nonexistant.

Bigokie does 6 boards but he is 6 feet 5 inches tall.

Keep hitting boards of different heights and keep setting PR's and you will be posting some monster numbers in no time at all.

I'm with you CoolColJ...I'm such a sissy on the bench.

My bench strength isn't that bad 225lbs x3 with 14 inch grip some 5 days ago, I just don't find it a fun lift that's all

i cant help CCJ(maybe if he was more feminine and lived in the U.S.) hehehe. , but Nonerz has some 2 and 3 board presses in her future.

shes a trooper, i'll try to get her more comfortable with benching. shes already a champ with DL's and squats (numerous variations).

her DL PR is pretty damn strong: 205. she banged out sets of 10 with 135 today like it was nothing, all sumo style (first attempt).

benches make me feel tight, I need to be super flexible.

 

[jeremys]

i hear you on the flexibility issue, coolcolj. i have to work on my arch. every time i bench, i try to arch a little farther and bring my feet back a tiny bit every time. that kinda makes me feel flexible. haha

6 boards for me is just a couple inches left at the top. i have benched before and not locked out at the very top so i thought that could use a little work. next week ME day is going to be 5 board, then the next one is 4 board, etc. can't wait to get my double d shirt, as soon as i get a little money. then i'm going to train westside every other week and on those other weeks i'm going to train militia style.

skaman, i didn't get it for christmas, but i worked out a deal with my grandparents. they ordered it yesterday for me but now i gotta do some work around their place. i think it's a good deal
