[JD Slim]

I'm just getting my chest into preportion with my legs , was never a great bench press , always a good squat though

most ever 1 rep , 475 during a workout after about 4 other sets.

315 x 18 reps fresh
225 x 53 reps fresh

but I weigh 290 , bf% about 15 , 6'2" , 25yrs old

if it bounces it don't count , and bench shirt and squat suits are for pussys !!!

Holy crap..............All i said was i wore a bench shirt and the shit hit the fan,As far as being a pussy for using one i had planned on going to a local contest and it was pretty much a standard to use so i said what the hell and went out and got one..as far as my 3 lift totals....bench 440
deadlift 505
my squat killed me..480
It was my 1st and only contest I placed 4th out of 27

In powerlifting meets bench shirts and squat suits are standard. You'd be competing at a big disadvantage if you didn't use the equipment.
TEST APE how much do you weigh?

I pushed up 610 at a meet in early December. No shirt. But I weigh 315, so the difference isn't that big between the two.

You've got alot of potential with that build. Does the name,
"Iron Island" ring a bell?

My barbell bench is pretty pathetic for my size... So I'll just say it was in the 225-314 range, which is true... but I'm not gonna say what the weight was... I can do dumbbell benches pretty well, last cycle I did 110lbs dumbbells for 5 reps.

YUM

 

[Lift or Die]

My one rep max on flat bench is 135. Yeah I'm a powerhouse!
