Contest Question

[Yellowbottle]

Do you guys think I could enter a contest and do well benching 460 at 190 without a shirt. Also need some serious feedback on how to train for a comp and if anyone knows or any in New Jersey coming soon. I do not train for power but I have a freakishly strong bench and think competition would be fun but have no idea on what to do.

460 at 190 is good enuf to get on the platform. However the record at 198 is a ridiculous 683lbs -- just so you don;t get your ego too big

I know I saw the post thats some serious weight to be putting up at 198. I am looking to hit at least 550 within the next 1.5 years, do you think its possible?

460 is a great bench. Over 400 is good for anybody in the gym. If you trained for competition it would get even better though.

I would not compare yourself to Halbert's 683. He is in the top 1% of benchers in the entire universe. You are not going to see records like that in all the federations. If you are able to hit 530+ (in competition) you would be world class. WABDL World record for 198 is around 550. Keep it up.

550lbs in 1 1/2years is definitely possible. Learn how to use the equipment and your journey will bethat much better.

Damn, I'm a bodybuilder and seriously impressed with your guys benches! Anyone that can hoist 365 and over on bench weighin' at 190 got my respect!


I'm 226 in the offseason and about 13% BF and can hit 405 for three on my last set.When I'm leaned out at 197 and 3% I'm lucky If I can look at 365 .
