ME Bench

[kingc_79]

illegal wides(wide for me, index on ring)---up to 1rm--------260lb
skull crushers------------------up to 3rm-----------------110lbs
tate presses-------------------4 sets 4-------------------45lb db
clean and press---------------3 sets 6-------------------115lb
hammer rows------------------3 sets 10
fr/side/rear plate raise ------2 sets 60-------------------5lb db

today was 1st time i really done clean and presses in a workout and man they killed me. i loved them.

i was thinkin of doin a meet at the end of the yr if i thought i was strong enough and today i asked a guy that i knew powerlifted bout what was legal on grip and how the squat went. and he told me that theres a meet in my gym on oct 4. i think i may do it just for the experience. he says its nasa fed and i already have a squat suit on the way, so all i need is a shirt and the fee.

 

[kingc_79]

well that sucks...i just looked at the website for n.a.s.a and they dont allow doubly ply anything and thats what the squat suit is that i ordered.

 

[Liftbig]

doesnt nasa have an unlimited divison. i think they just started one. i could be wrong.

you could do it raw, though thats probably not ideal

and yeah, i dont lift in nasa anymore because of the equipment regs

 

[Cuthbert]

King,

Nice job on the illegal wides. Aren't these pretty close to your normal max?

 

[kingc_79]

yea that was my normal max. i think i may use that grip all the time now. i liked it. my index finger covered the ring and thats what i was told was the limit. ill ask bout that unlimited division but i dont think so. i really hope there is tho bc its so convenient that its in the gym i already go to near my school

 

[jeremys]

i know that there WAS an unlimited division but there isnt one any more, to my knowledge. they are also changing the weight classes so they're normal

 

[Liftbig]

that sucks about the unlimited division thing, what part of the country you live in kingc, maybe theirs an IPA or APF meet not too far away.

 

[kingc_79]

i live in southeast mo. close to tn, ar, ky and some places in ms.

 

[pwr_machine]

How tall are you? What bodyweight? What size suit are you looking for? I have a handful of single ply suits neatly folded in my closet that are itching to squat some big weight again.

 

[kingc_79]

I may have a suit that would fit a 181 if you're interested.

man, that would be awesome. how much ya want for it? i'd be able to do the meet after all.

I'll dig through the closet and see what I have. It's going to be expensive. It definately comes with a heavy price. I'd want a PR for it. Let me see what I have.

I'll dig around today and get back to you. My wife is good at this sizing stuff and she's sleeping.

 

[kingc_79]

Shoot me a PM with your address. I'll let you know if/when I get something in the mail to you for you to try on. If it doesn't work out, you'll still have time to come up with another plan.

 

[pwr_machine]

I have a custom made Titan. Although it is custom made (for me), it has been used once by a friend who shortened the straps. He's about 5'8 or 5'9 and lifted as a 181. I'm pretty sure this should fit.

 

[kingc_79]

thanks alot man...i really appreciate it...this is really cool of ya to help me out like this. i just got my dbl ply poly from frantz and man...how do you get into these things...i wont even get to try it on for a week or so bc i just got back from gettin my tattoo redone on my arm/shoulder.

 

[Lord_Suston]

you should do it for the experience and those are some great #'s

It'll go to the mail tomorrow morning.

Is this your first experience with a suit? I'll warn you ahead of time, Titan suits are incredibly tight in the quads and hips. It'll be a struggle in itself to put it on. Oh yeah, it'll probably hurt like hell too. But it's all for big numbers, right.

Props to pwr_machine for looking out for other bros! Karma.

Crap, it would not let me give you any, cause it said I need to spread it around... that sucks. I will catch ya sometime soon.

No big deal. I refuse to have someone miss a meet because of an equipment issue. I've had suits blowout in the past, and there was always someone around to help me out.

 

[b fold the truth]

Great job everyone!!!!!

Those illegal wides bother me man...I really don't think that I'd be doing many of them if I were you...especially with a semi-bum shoulder...
