Cleverer than YOU Member 1228, 1046 posts | Toby said:Another good bench day today. Bench Middle Finger On Ring 1 x 10 60kg 1 x 5 60kg 1 x 5 80kg 1 x 3 90kg 1 x 1 100kg 1 x 1 110kg 1 x 1 112.5kg 1 x 1 115kg 1 x 1 120kg 2-board 1 x 1 130kg 3-board shirt on 1 x 1 140kg 2-board 1 x 1 150kg 1-board 1 x 1 165kg 1 x 1 170kg 9kg PB 2 x F 175kg - first one was off line, second one i was knackered and didnt have it in me. It will go soon i think! Video of 170: Did some bodyweight squats to test how the hip is feeling, was great - should be squatting tomorrow! Whilst not competition legal, for me it's still a very strong lift and this guy has made huge progress over the last few months and he looks to be getting stronger all the time! | ||

Nope, not gonna dead for a while. I dont really see much point in doing it for now, and the squatting will help with sumo anyway. | ||

Not sure when i will plateau, with the progress i am making at the moment i dont think i will for a while yet. consistantly hitting 120kg wide grip now, looks like it is gonna be equal to my close grip within the next week or two. Hopefully i will get my years targets of 300lb raw 400lb equipped bench! Bench 1 x 10 60kg 1 x 10 70kg 1 x 5 80kg 1 x 3 90kg 1 x 1 100kg 1 x 1 110kg 1 x 1 120kg 1 x F 125kg - very close, needed a spot due to going off line. Will get it next week did a few more singles around 110kg, i forgot the exact numbers.. 6 singles over 90% in total. Finished off with some tate press and chest supported row. Tried some very light pulls today, glute felt good but didnt want to push it too hard! | ||
