s**t should of did the 130k paused its one of my 2007 goals

Very strong pause, you'll piss 125 at the comp, wouldn't be surprised if it was your opener or even less than it!

thanks Rob yes its my opener anything after that is a bonus with no pressure

LOL, could that video be anymore upsidedown ??

great press mate, with the adrenalyn of the comp you will smoke all notion of 130 and hit big , bigger , BIGGEST !!

thanks mate thought i was going to fall from the ceiling lankylarry on camera

mate you made that look very easy ,plenty left in the tank!

yes bench is good at the moment,hows your training going ed are you having a break hope things are ok bud

hav'ent had time to train ,one off the blokes who works for me ended up getting section and is now in the nut house so ive been working crasy hours trying to cover eveything!
tried a workout tonight but it was'nt happening! going to try again on wednesday!

f*cking hell ed nice work force,s**t hope you get sorted ed cant be helping your training,more to the point your buisness

You crazy bench press machine!!!!! That pause was very long and very very strong. You will be looking at some big numbers at the comp.

cheers Hayden ive been training 6months exactly on the first of august. never been in a gym sept when i was your age i couldent bench 60k and that was after 3 months training i guess all the kerblaying and hard graft has given me a strong back n shoulders,i set out 6 months ago with a goal to bench 150k within a year,my mind set then was if i dident get that goal then i was in the wrong sport.but now im enjoying it and improving all the time,but mayby a bit to keen and dont know when to back off ive always pushed myself hard and think i can do well hell 6months ago i struggeld to press 85k,ive had some great advise and im finally starting to listen to it,i want to do well but by that i dont have anyone in mind to beat ecsept me.

Light weight baby 1... 2... 3... piece of piss 1... 2... 3...

Excellent stuff Tom.

thanks Neil groovy lol

Pretty interesting to see how hard grafting can transfer over to lifting - it obviously does by your example! I wonder if its also increased your work capacity a lot because you're used to grafting several days in a row for long times?

This is not me telling you to bench seven days in a row

yes Rob id say that my back was strong to start with have layed kerbstones for 25y anything upto 180 a day on price work so im bent over all day with 9-10 stone for each kerb its like doing a load of b,over rows,mind you the graft can f*ck up your training but at the moment im in between jobs due to sticking my neck out for a mate long story
