My Fury experience so far....

[I'D RATHER BE DEADLIFTING]

Here's what I have done so far.

First, on Sunday 9/15 I did ME bench. The shirt was not here yet so I did 4-board presses. I hit a 5 lb PR of 275 and then hit a 15 lb PR of 285. I was very pleased with this.

The next day, the Fury arrived. Had to try it out. So, Monday 9/16 I did:

Fury:
4-board press- 225x2, 275x1
3-board press- 275x1
2-board press- 275x1
1-board press- 260x no touch, 275x1,1
Bench press- 275xno touch, 285xtouch(miss)


Now, today 9/19 was DE bench. I did 7 triples of speed with chains, then one heavier single. Went to the 3-board and did two heavier warmups. Then put the Fury on:

3-board press-255x1, 275x1, 285x1
2-board press- 285x1,1
1-board press- 285x1
Bench press- 285xmiss
1-board press(arch)- 285x1
Bench press(arch)- 285x1!!!!


My best bench ever in my Inzer is 255. I am stoked about the 285!! It was a touch and go. I have to get more comfy with this shirt in the bottom position. It seems to want to take me out of the groove. 285 was my goal for my push/pull meet on December 7th. I am confident I will smoke that by then.

I'm getting there. If I go 148@ my December meet I may go near 2xbw. Not bad for a monkey-armed freak.

 

[Deciever1]

yeah. not bad for an overdieting freak either... diet down to my class chubby!

IRBDL....where's your comp?

It's funny you should mention the monkey arm thing. Ironmaiden and I were talking the other day about how we should be horrible benchers, based on structure. So much for that!

How was the shirt to get on? Any marks in the back? What size?

What grip were you using?

 

[I'D RATHER BE DEADLIFTING]

My comp in December is the USAPL NY state Push/pull champs. is at the same place that I did my last deadlift only meet.

The shirt is much tighter on my arms than the Inzer. Once it is up the arms it is pretty much over though. Takes maybe 2 minutes in total to have eveything set and ready to go. Not bad at all. It is a size 40, which is what my relaxed chest measured.

I have some marks on the back of my arms.

I was using my widest grip that I use. It has my middle finger on the ring.

Glad to see it is working out for you IRBD.

Keep up the good work.
