Good job, Kronk!

Are you talking about the hammer strength brand of exercise equipment? Very serious weight, but I am curious exactly what machine we are discussing. Pic would be nice.

Oh, and by the way, I have read many of the elite between the sheet escapades of you and Kronkette. Kronk, you are my hero.

[kronk]

Thanks guys. Last week I pulled my groin benching 450, but I was better in a day or so. Today, I just felt strong as hell, did 450 for 8, so I up'd to 470 and did 6 so I was like, ahh what the hell just for shits and giggles, lets rack up 12 plates and see what happens, and fuck...I did it! rofl!

benchmonster - Its not really a "hammer strength" but is is close. Its Magnum strength training equipment, and when I have mentioned it before most people equate it to a hammer, so I just post with that word. Since I dont have a training partner other than Lil K, when I go all out I have to use a machine. It is a Biangular Supine Bench Press and is plate loaded.

Funny thing is, I did 540 for 2, then again for one, and then I guess I did it for another 2! LOL, I thought I had taken a plate of each side but didn't, lol.

 

[t3c]

jesus...thats alot of volume too

I bet you could do alot more for 1 if you really wanted to

got any pics of yourself? you must be a big mofo!

My new post should shed some light, sorry about the confusion, I am still a little beat from the gym. Hell that is how I started chest day, the whole thing went like this:

360 x 10
450 x 8
470 x 6
(this is where I thought I would be done)
540 x 2
540 x 1
540 x2

What is the carryover from this machine to free weight barbell style benching? Curious as to qhat that may be.

Not sure what it is at this weight. I have nailed 405 x 3 on a free weight bench with spotters recently, however I don't train with training partners anymore, plus I prefer this movement for growth.

For me the weight is all the same and quite honestly I prefer this to the normal bench as it totally tears my pecs apart rather than hitting my shoulders as much. With the different grip I can totally target my pecs.

Regardless, I think its at least 100 to 140lbs difference. Then again, what matter to me is my pecs, and the weight, not what I am using.

P.S. Nice to have you back brother.
