Others, it'll be run of the mill! Don't be overly impressed by what you see, just smash the weights yourself and enjoy the numbers going up! | ||

AKA the great reset Member 4056, 5209 posts | Impressive if natural or on low doses. If mega juicing, it's nothing special. | ||

I recommend the track - Slut Machine Member 6043, 957 posts SQ 350, BP 195, DL 350895.0 kgs @ 150kgs UnEq | Depends on the machine, leverages make a massive difference, even just a few inches difference in the position of loading pins. My local gym has exigo plate loaded stuff and the leverages are appalling. I can press 5 plates a side on the overhead machine nevermind incline! | ||

Member 3241, 2043 posts SQ 1, BP 192, DL 255448.0 kgs @ 136kgs UnEq | Yup... Leverage points can be a t**t when you work them out and ruin your ego lol A few gyms I know have the car deadlift set up; you hear em all bragging how they can lift a car... They s**t it when you tell em it's only around 160-180kg in the hand because of the leverage point and the fact that it's really only a lock out Same with the gym I mainly train at; great viking press, but when you figure out what weights in hand, it's a kick in the nuts! | ||

Enough was enough. Banned. Member 6099, 775 posts SQ 300, BP 195, DL 310805.0 kgs @ 105kgs UnEq | Machines vary massively,so cannot really say if it's impressive. His other lifts are pretty good,but nothing exceptional nowadays. | ||

‘downsizing’ Member 5704, 3496 posts SQ 280, BP 210, DL 320810.0 kgs @ 96.3kgs UnEq | benching 140 x 8 @ 100kg sans the trenbolognaise sauce is decent if they're proper paused reps. problem with gym lifts is they could be anything from IPF standard to t+g bounces with no lock out and an 'all you bro' spot. | ||

Plates can be horendously unreliable at commercial gyms also. One lifter i know was at a commercial gym and weighed a few plates to find they where mostly 1kg over! | ||

TECHNOGYM. few days after first gpc southerns (in which i benched a tough 182.5kg ) I went to a "techno gym"gym (at continental hotel in hounslow where i was staying) and was banging out comfy reps with 170+ on a s**tty bench with no handout. must be 5% under and ALL of them, don't matter which you use they're equally all s**te. they just feel so light in your hand when you lift the 20s. | ||

A nightmare if you don't know... Some other 20kg plates weigh as 18.9kg... s**tty if you haven't a clue which plates to use/avoid! | ||
