Everyone enjoys a training video so il share this lift from tonight.

Finally got the 5 plates a side,

Would prefer if the guys spotting weren't so keen, don't think they touched it but il make sure it's a clean rep next time.

As above, get a wider shot next time without all 3 spotters touching the bar.

I wouldnt count it either, it looks like you have it fairly easy but they were on the bar so personally I wouldnt count it.

Don't worry, I'm not happy with it either. As I said il make sure next time it's a clean rep, I feel plenty strong enough for it.

Lol I didn't even watch the video

f**king 220kg...bench press

Wow!

Most people would be happy to be able to load that onto a bar and look on it in admiration never mind have it over their chest

That would snap me clean in two pieces

beast

We could all post videos of use trying that lift... I bet yours look prettier than most

Ps get that video embedded buddy so we can click it!

mirin! ok so the spotters were touching the bar but by how easy the rep was it looked like you could do it without them. That is a massive bench

You looked to lose your live at the bottom

Not that I would know

I actually think it's great that you let those three sport you I bet they were very nervous

Next time you see them tell them a big thanks for that I think it took a lot of guts for them to try and spot you I don't blame them for being a bit keen

I bet that they too would like to one handle that amount of weight you inspirational man mountain Happy

Haven't really thought about it mate, maybe one day. Il just keep plodding along, if a comp comes up il see where I am and maybe give it a go.
