 I am a bench-only guy Member 3, 10035 posts SQ 185, BP 175, DL 235595.0 kgs @ 140kgs UnEq Administrator | Friday 27th November, Adlington Bench 20x20 20x20 20x20 20x10 70x5 90x3 110x2 130 140 150 Inzer Rage-X 54 on: 170 a long way from a touch but on a good line 180 2" up, good line 190 2" up, good line belt off: 190 2" up, good line shirt off: 120x3 120x3 120x3 The shirt just seems to lock up completely 2" up on my natural line. At the moment I can't see me ever getting a touch without going elbows-out spreadeagle. In the drawer until after the British, I think, then we'll have another experiment. Many, MANY thanks to Pete and Jake for interrupting their evenings to stay behind and help me - struggle to get down until 5:30 or so at the moment, which is when most people are winding up on a Friday. Without their kindness, I'd've just been doing light speed work. | ||

I am a bench-only guy Member 3, 10035 posts SQ 185, BP 175, DL 235595.0 kgs @ 140kgs UnEq Administrator | No. I wouldn't bench-only at a three-lift unless I needed to qualify for something - and I don't  . | ||

 Hyper obese Pete Member 70, 17896 posts SQ 322.5, BP 205, DL 300827.5 kgs @ 133kgs Eq | Rick said: Many, MANY thanks to Pete and Jake for interrupting their evenings to stay behind and help me - You're very welcome Rickster. Unless I'm on a mission, I only ever go home, so nothing that can't wait. Plus the between-sets conversation is always worth stopping for. | ||

 Feasting on humble pie. Member 51, 1692 posts SQ 227.5, BP 185, DL 272.5685.0 kgs @ 90.4kgs UnEq | is the shirt pulled quite low around the collar Rick? I can touch 180kg in a 50 rage x and in the same shirt I press 230kg. Maybe you need to let it ride a little. Hope this helps | ||

 Even his dad lifts more Member 388, 313 posts SQ 315, BP 210, DL 285810.0 kgs @ 98kgs Eq | Yeah, it did look like the shirt was locking up. But on the plus side the 190's looked snappy finishing, and pressing from nowhere can be alot harder than getting it to the chest and having the pop from the shirt, so i think there is going to be a new PB there once you go back to your old shirt and start getting the bar down. | ||

Remember me and Martin saying it would be better to a get a shirt thats to big over one thats tight? To be fair, I could nearly get this on by myself - it's hard to believe it's too tight. And, more to the point, I didn't buy a 54 - I was sent it for free  .I might bring it on Sunday and ask those of you experienced in the new Rage-X to have a look. probably not though - it'll be a long enough day as it is! | ||

I am a bench-only guy Member 3, 10035 posts SQ 185, BP 175, DL 235595.0 kgs @ 140kgs UnEq Administrator | Monday 30th November, Adlington Light one tonight. Bench 20x20 20x20 20x20 another rubicon crossed for the year - breath steaming in Adders on the bench. 20x20 20x20 70x5 90x5 110x5 130x5 142.5x5 with a long pause on the last. It is nice that, these days, this genuinely is an easy light session. | ||

I am a bench-only guy Member 3, 10035 posts SQ 185, BP 175, DL 235595.0 kgs @ 140kgs UnEq Administrator | Did a few power cleans. Worked up to 80 at the end just to see how it would feel. Pretty good, it turns out. | ||
