ME DAY and Welcome me to the 300lb bench club!!!

[Cubanito17]

Hey guys this morning I did my workout and everything went good. It was a ME day and I was doing 4 board presses well normally for some reason when I do these since it's with a pause it's hard for me to get it off the board and my spot has to BUMP it up. NOT TODAY. I went barX5, 95X5, 135X5, 185X3, 225X1, 245X1, 265X1, 275X1(pretty easy), 285X1(had a lil trouble), 290X1(like 275, I got a leg drive BUTT DID NOT COME UP THOUGH ) then I gave it ALL HELL and 300X1 almost missed lockout but got it.

I know since I used to do alot of chest work in my old workouts that I have strong off the chest and it seems easier for me when I get the bar going that it goes faster to lockout the weight then instead of midpoint and pausing it. SOOO I'm guessing in a shirt or NOT I can bench 300 now.

DAMN IT FEELS GOOD TO BE IN THIS CLUB. 400 here I come

By then end of 2002 I wanna pause 350 by that time I'll be 18 though so it sucks.

WoW! Great job man! Very impressive lifts for your age. Hell, impressive to me at my age, LOL. 400 will be a cakewalk for ya.

Hope to be in the 300 club soon too, think I just barely am in the 200 club.

Thanks guys that's why I love these boards all the support and help from you guys I wouldn't be anywhere without it.

Epimetheus DUDE how old are you. I don't think my lifts are that impressive I mean I have one record if I thought they were impressive for real then I'd have all the records and stil want more .

Great work Little brother.

3 bills off a 4 board is quite an accomplishment. Work the close grip stuff to build those tri's but do some comp grip stuff too, so you will be strong where it really counts, on the platform.

With a good shirt, and good technique, you should be able to go around 300 right now. I can do more in a shirt than either my 3 or 5 board, so you should be right around the 300 mark.

benchmonster thanks bro I know I forgot to say that I did it with index finger on the smooth that's what my grip looked like. I'll remember to do some regular when it comes close to a meet. WHICH i should probably start next week. I'm sure in a shirt I'll be able to do it. My goal for my next meet is 400 325 530

THE MANN DUDE WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN. Thanks slowly i'm getting there. Are you stil competing in 198 or 181 now.

Stapled thanks it was a BITCH to pass now I have another to go over.
