Your military press vs your bench

[IronLion]

pressing them is the easy part, handling them is a bitch. I want to get one of those db spotter things so you can rack the weights right behind the bench...I typically will use light bands and 100 lb dbs till for 45 sec intervals

IronLion, how long have you been lifting? And were you naturally strong, from the start? And have you broken 500 on flat bench yet?

Damn Iron Lion thats some huge db press numbers. I'm gonna stop trying to go up at about 130 or so. How much do you weigh again?

 

[IronLion]

I weigh 320 lbs at about 6'3''
I have been training for about 6 years, I was not a naturally great bencher, I worked hard to get it where it is, it is still the weakest of my lifts, but since I started westside about 4 months ago it has gone up tremendously. I set a pr on flat bench at 505 raw two weeks ago.

Thise is the db thing I was talking about, I saw it the other day and now I just gotta figure out how to make one

 

[MidwestJ]

that's a kick ass tool

 

[Bullit]

db bench 180 x 8
incline db bench 150 x 8
db military 130 x 8

LOL... when I first read this I was dividing them by 2 to get each DB weight... but now I see that IS the DB weight!!!

Holy shit!!!
