 I am a bench-only guy Member 3, 10034 posts SQ 185, BP 175, DL 235595.0 kgs @ 140kgs UnEq Administrator | Wednesday 3rd September, Adlington Bench working across from Pete and Val. 20x20 20x20 50x8 70x5 90x3 110x3 130x3 145x3 155x3 PB and easy, John Fairclough said there was five there and he might have been right. Titan NXG+ 56" on: 155x1 touched very easily 165x1 and Alan remarks that this shirt is dead on me, and he's right. Shirt back off: 120x13 PB finally! I've had 12-and-a-fail so many times on this weight. Incline Smith Bench 20x5 60x3 85x3 105x3 115x3 PB Superman Rows (in lbs) 100x8 150x8 175x8 might go up soon on these, starting to feel comfortable and routine now. Very very pleasing session. Pete also did 155x3 for a PB (though his was better as he paused the first), and narrowly missed 159x3. Next Wednesday will be just raw bench, no shirt or assistance, as I have to get showered and back to school for a parents' evening  . From the week after there are five Wednesdays before the comp, and each week (except the last) we'll do some stuff raw and a few singles in the new shirt. Yum. | ||

aka. the skinny scouser Member 228, 1443 posts SQ 140, BP 140, DL 260540.0 kgs @ 109kgs UnEq | Great pressing mate. esp the 13 reps on 120. 56" too ?  May i be able to have one session in it sometime ? Might be the only time i could get someone to get a shirt on me right. | ||

I am a bench-only guy Member 3, 10034 posts SQ 185, BP 175, DL 235595.0 kgs @ 140kgs UnEq Administrator | Of course you can, mate, it is always in my bag. It's seen some fairly heavy use - Rob Thomas's first, then Pete's (21" arms, 56" chest) then me - at a mere 51" and 19" I barely touch the sides! | ||

Every time I've run this buildup before I've tripled my previous best single . It's slightly different this time because I don't *have* a previous best single, so I should hopefully get a bit more out on threes yet.Joni said: hey isnt your best for single raw 155? how cool would 400lbs raw bench be! you are not far off man...I've never done a 155 single... only a double and a triple . My best (paused) single is still 152.5, though obviously I can do more than that now. I reckon I'll still be 10kg shy of 400 though. It will come.Martin1956 said: Good stuff Rick.

I am a bench-only guy Member 3, 10034 posts SQ 185, BP 175, DL 235595.0 kgs @ 140kgs UnEq Administrator | No mate. Unless I'm missing somebody, Shawn is second - 200 raw is a routine lift for him. Then there's a cluster of guys in the 160-175 range - Pete the Painter did a 165 raw recently, John Fairclough did too, Pete's always good for a bench in that range too. Hopefully when I test a single I'll be somewhere in that mix, but (even neglecting bodyweight and age) I think I'd need to be up around 180 to take undisputed third spot on my own. | ||
