I finally benched 275 (video)

[Mike_Rojas]

I had trouble unracking the weight, which messed up my positioning. When I pushed off the chest, I tried to push "down" toward my feet, but the damn bar started going up toward my head. You can see my adjustment during the lockout.

This was the first time I tried with index finger on the rings.. I've always benched with pinky on the rings. I know there's a lot more in me.. I'm going to hit those board presses and rack lockouts hard.

Do board presses. They've helped me a lot in a short time.

 

[Mike_Rojas]

Would you say my sticking point is in the middle? Should I hit floor presses and 2 board presses?

PR green for you

That was actually pretty funny, you know the pause before lifting, the pause after the lift off, the moment you almost got stuck half way, and the "SHIT" when you racked the bar, LOL!


Seriously though, good job man, congrats and keep up the good work.

i cant wait to get back there (275), i lost so much stregth from the recent months of cutting. hearing everyone get PRs is some of the best motivation.

Good job bro.... Keep at it and work your tris even harder. Its the key when you get stuck that gives you the power to drive the barbell up to completion.

 

[NWinters]

you got green coming

 

[Lord_Suston]

great job

work on the close-grip to get some more speed into the middle of your lift. Keep up all the hard work it is paying off
