Military Bench???

[bblazer]

How many pounds was you best raw deadlift in gym or comp?

OK, my best EVER was 755, done conventional and raw.

The first was totally clean so I tried for a double, but ended up hitching the hell out of it before I got it.

I think I weighed about 225 then, and was quite younger.

The most stable position for the spine is through spinal extension, and the most stable position for the rotator cuff is through scapular retraction...so from a kinesiological, functional, and safety standpoint the military bench press is bullshit.

I don't bench muchweight , but I know I can bench more, make better progress, and markedly reduce my risk of injury by keeping my feet underneath me, my ass on the bench, my back arched, my elbows tucked, and with my scapulae drawn in.

And it still makes me the weakest of the guys I lift with.

Most of the guys can hit 800 for reps easily. One is a 900 lb'er & he weights 275.
