 Why not just not get fat in the first place? Member 132, 1406 posts SQ 331, BP 200, DL 320851.0 kgs @ 98kgs UnEq | PeteHodgson said:Strong benching today! It'd be (slightly) interesting (but pointless) to see what your raw bench is now. I'd imagine 200+ maybe.  Cheers Pete, yeah possibly 190-200kg ish on a good day | ||

Why not just not get fat in the first place? Member 132, 1406 posts SQ 331, BP 200, DL 320851.0 kgs @ 98kgs UnEq | ME Upper Med/Close Grip Bench Press Vs Double Mini Bands + 3 chains per side 60kg x 5 80kg x 5 100kg x 3 120kg x 1 125kg x 1 130kg x 1 140kg x fail  DB Press 70kg x 3 x 5 Tricep Pushdowns 3 x 10 Hammer Rows 60kg x 3 x 8 each arm Ez Bar Curls 4 x 10 Face Pulls 3 x 15 Pleased with the benching today - probably shouldn't have jumped to 140kg but I thought I'd get it. Total added resistance was around 80kg (40ish from bands and 38 from chains). | ||

 Member 1909, 192 posts SQ 320, BP 260, DL 290870.0 kgs @ 105kgs Eq | Very strong benching mate. Where did you fail the 140? I bet those bands and chains kicked in hard at about 3 board height. | ||

I bet those bands and chains kicked in hard at about 3 board height. Yeah it was around 4-6 inches off my chest. They sure do! thosebananas said:Why bands and chains? And not one or the other? Just to see! I don't like the stress that going against alot of band tension causes. 80kg+ of bands alone is more brutal on the shoulders than 40/40 with chains. This week I may add a little more chain and lower the bar weight and see what happens. | ||
