900 in the 110's

Finally started more strength based work at athletics, there were some single leg squat, hammering a tyre and other stuff in a big circuit today. Also shotput technique is 100% better now, might start spinning next week.

Bench
Lots of work with the bar before josh turned up
60x5
80x4
100x3
120x2
shirt on katana 44
160x2
190x2 4.5"board
210x1 1.5"
225x1 "
240x1 "
250xf

Shirt is tight, made my forearms pump up like hell so then taking it off took f**king forever. Had to work the seam down, pull the slack out and repeat.

Dumbell bench
35 3x8

Incline to flat set
25 x5 at each height

I didn't wear a belt on the shirt and it is untenable to touch with anything sensible until i lose weight and it stretches out. I think i'll be benching unequipped at the uni's.

Not even a congratulations on the 240, you're all wa**ers.

100 4x6 last 3 sets all reps paused

Nice benching mate

Edit - do you usually use a katana?

I've been using a 46 fury as i went by the idea that a katana was too much of a shirt for me with my lockout strength (i gave myself the task of doing 200 then i'd be allowed to use the katana, and 250 for the superkat). A 46/48 katana would be ideal at the moment, but as i head down to the 110's this shirt should fit the bill.

And thank you for being the only person off two forums to say well done, all i got on the gbpf site was it doesn't count as its half a lift.

Crikey, 240 bench! 'Half a lift' or not, that's a lot of weight in the hand.

Keep up the good work. As for what other people say etc, who gives a f**k. Let your lifts speak for themselves.

Just fishing for compliments .

that's a huge bench, never used a shirt so no idea what it's like but i can't even imagine holding that weight lol

I'm not sure, i remember holding 200 when i was benching just into the 100's and thought how the f**k do people hold this without snapping their arms. 240 felt heavy but not scary. Never really been a problem but i think it's all about not being scared of big wights, i was contemplating going 255 instead of 250, and looking at the records that would be a new senior 110 record which was a surprise.

Solid session lately mate - 240kg 1 board is awesome!

Thanks macca, british 110 senior record is 252.5, hopefully could get that next year, not sure if anyone has got a senior record at 19. That would be good.
