AnimalMass Benches 500!

[genemachine]

Matt hit a super clean 500 lb Bench today. It was freaking awesome. Definately had more in him. Bastard finally beat his little brother. His previous max was 425 but he did it for a triple twice in Nazereth. Couldn't touch 405, 430 or 455. Then he touched and blew up 470. At that point we knew he had 500 in him. Then the bastard touched 500 and rocked it. Weighed in at 242 also that's double BW. Bastard...

Good job Matt-

I would say the training you've been doing is working!

Congrats Again!


PS. How much do you feel you're getting out of a shirt now?
My buddies that went with me to Eufala couldnt believe that I was getting 100lbs out of my shirt!

Thanks guys!

Well, the most I've ever benched raw is 320. I'm sure I could do more than that, but I don't know if I could bench 365. So I'm getting closer to 200 lbs out of my shirt.

I did 315 raw for three last week and it damn near killed me.

Everything felt good today. Went really well.

Also,

Just wanted to thank Mule and BigWhitey, McVicar, Fields, Stan, and all the other Militia Guys that helped me with my setup/ technique! It has made an enormous difference.

Also, thanks so much to my crew! DG21 especially for pushing me past what I would have ever thought possible, and of course KG18, Hannibal, Genemachine, and MjayM for pushing me in the race to 500. It s the competition and camraderie that make this all worth it.

And KG18, I'm coming after your ass. (In the bench of course - I'll never pull 800 you f'n monster!)
