 Member 3878, 20 posts | Couple of people wanted to see this but had probs viewing myself in origional thread. Weighed bar empty with some suitcase scales...came in at 20.6kg so this should be 300kg. I know people will say its on a smith rack so doesn't count and i don't count it my self....would never say i have a 300 bench but was still fairly happy i got this. | ||

Not really sure what you mean by touch and go but no wraps......i did have gloves on though :-$ As for form i'm always good....no bouncing etc which i've seen alot of at my gym :-( but i also don't really pause at the bottom for as long as i've seen powerlifters do but as i said i NEVER bounce!! Only started wearing wraps recently due to suffering some elbow pain no doubt they did help with the press though :-( | ||

In a drug tested fed its my record of 235kg . i for one would be very excited to see a Brit doing a 265kg raw bench , you need to get that videoed and put it up asap !! Make sure its without knee wraps or spotters touching the bar and that would be very very impressive | ||

Only started wearing wraps recently due to suffering some elbow pain no doubt they did help with the press though :-( Gloves??!  Sorry, touch and go (tng) just means no pause, ie you bring it down, touch chest then press. A paused rep is where the bar comes to a complete stop on the chest before starting the press  | ||

Gloves are the gym equavalent of mincing around with a handbag and should be avoided at all costs. | ||
