Bench press PR 255x1

[strangebrew]

raw unassisted... I tried 265 and missed, since I have no spotter I had to roll it over my crotch area. One thing I noticed is that I need to work on my leg drive, I dont think I had any arch either. I also warmed up way too much, otherwise I think I could have gotten the 265.

Good job! I hope to hit a bench PR on Friday... (if I do try to max out rather than my typical 5x5)

 

[bignate73]

awesome man! congrats, you now own it!

 

[Tiervexx]

nice job! When you want to max out all you have to do for warming up is maybe one light set of 5 than a few sets of 1-3 to build up to the weight.

 

[magman1]

yeah, thats the same warmup i do if ever maxing out!

 

[d3track]

To get what up? muhahahahahahahah

That technique doesnt work for me. I need some reps to warm up everything and get the feel for the weight.

Great job on the PR! Youll hit 300 before long! Im looking to hit a PR on the bench tommorow also. 315x6 or maybe 300x7-9 would be nice! Keep it up!

that would be something to see brotha!! go for that shit! tb

 

[Zander1983]

Great lift bro. I can relate to having no spotter. I'd never failed on close-grips until today. Let me say that they're a lot harder to negotiate an escape compared to flat benches!

 

[thebrute]

this is true! tb

Mwahahahahahahaha!
