whats up zombie,i'm one of those bench only guys. my last bench meet i did 410 @ 177,i do train all the lifts,but haven't competed in the big three yet.what about you ,bro??

 

[Zombie]

I'm about the same. I usually stay around 175, and I did train for bench more than anything else. I have started training the squat and deadlift in the last year and a half. My bench w/shirt was 435 3 months ago. I have no idea what it is now. I'm thinking the same. It has been inching it's way up since I hit 4. My last sqaut was 510 and 520 on deadlift. My squat and deadlift are shitty but I have the excuse that I haven't trained them very long.

well i spoke to soon. i am begining to feel the after effects of my first ME day. tommorrow may be worse as far as sorness goes. some deep chest sorness almost feels like i did heavy dips instead of board presses. i guess i did it right cause i fee like &^%$.

zombie....you are top 100 also.my goal was to make top 100 and i started with a 370 bench w shirt @ same weight class.after changing to west side workouts,i hit the 410 this jan and it should put me on the list when the new one comes out nov/dec powerlifting usa.i thought that was pretty cool,430 @ 181 is awesome bro.i'm going to do a bench meet nov 10 so i can try to up my 410,we'll see.

Medium close to close...everything inside the rings..record your grip along with your record.

 

[The mann]

hannibal is right,we do evrything pinky inside the rings(allME bench work)then use your comp grip when you throw the shirt on,for me it's middlefinger onrings.

okay i will move my grip in some. i got my chains today my bands should be here tommorrow. i got the chains for $40 still have some $$ left over for protien. thanks for the input guys.
