New PR for bench!

[kronk]

hey man awesome job

so you did this flat bench...with free weights...or on a hammer machine? your post is confusing

thats a hell of alot of weight

My new post should shed some light, sorry about the confusion, I am still a little beat from the gym. Hell that is how I started chest day, the whole thing went like this:

360 x 10
450 x 8
470 x 6
(this is where I thought I would be done)
540 x 2
540 x 1
540 x2

What is the carryover from this machine to free weight barbell style benching? Curious as to qhat that may be.

Not sure what it is at this weight. I have nailed 405 x 3 on a free weight bench with spotters recently, however I don't train with training partners anymore, plus I prefer this movement for growth.

For me the weight is all the same and quite honestly I prefer this to the normal bench as it totally tears my pecs apart rather than hitting my shoulders as much. With the different grip I can totally target my pecs.

Regardless, I think its at least 100 to 140lbs difference. Then again, what matter to me is my pecs, and the weight, not what I am using.

P.S. Nice to have you back brother.

I am 5'8 227 right now. I am just starting bulking again so should be back up to 240 or so soon. I need to do some measuring for the rest, I have been using the mirror
