Floobler said:Impressive, didnt look like you got a lot of leg drive so, as you say, should be more there with some more practice Yeah i've defo lost some power from the leg drive from not doing it for so long. The timing and co-ordination don't seem to be there. But plan is to get strict press up to 160kg then spend a few months exclusively on push press. | |||

| Back to Strongman in preparation for comp coming up, haven't push pressed in about a year since starting Power lifting. Been focusing on bench and strict overhead. Had a log PB of 150kg and strict of 135kg last year. Now strict press PB is 155kg. So first time trying push press again and managed a 160kg log. Probably lost alot of efficiency in the movement and should be more there potentially. Also need to work on the clean. | |||

FAT_SAM said: f**k... Who was that? If its a genuine lift near 600lbs then thats amazing! But then again I've seen a guy do 260kg touch and go, well bounce and go, with 3 spotters, all blowing blood vessels whilst upright rowing the bar up for him... | |||

scruffmcbuff said: Are you gunning for them this year? Well its the target yeah, 12.5kg to match or 15kg to beat doesn't sound like alot but my 240kg felt like a true max so plenty of work to do yet. And I know Josh is probably going to look to extend that record also. On the other hand I've only been training bench seriously for powerlifting less than a year, so could still be plenty of room to grow. And I plan on going from around the 130kg bw mark to 140 or maybe even 140+ so hopefully its doable. | |||

scruffmcbuff said: strong old f**ker. the had my numbers mixed up there was a 120 fella called baz who set a 250 over at bull dogs back in the days of the BPC. yeah Baz Barraclough I believe that was. As far as official records I can find, those two are the most legitimate and both have videos. | |||

scruffmcbuff said: Agreed I had a look and could only find people writing about it. The 252.5 was set in the BPC wasnt it? It BPU & its Josh Cannon with 252.5kg. The GPC record is 250kg. | |||

| Guys, Is there a for sale section on the site or is selling prohibited? Due to new sponsors I cannot use my SBD kit anymore. Most of it has only been used once. | |||

scruffmcbuff said: Didnt Terry perdue bench a 257.5 way back in the day? I could be wrong as its before my time. I've read this a few times in a few different places but there seems to be no official recording of it. Most places have 252.5kg listed at the biggest. Must be with an old federation that's now disappeared along with its records. | |||

FAT_SAM said:Tom is a unit. Built to deadlift yet is a huge bencher. I had the pleasure of sharing a platform with him in Bristol back in Feb. We both benched 230kg that day. Built to deadlift yet my max bench is slowly catching my max pull! | |||

unit94 said: 155 according to Youtube, I like how we have the same strict Pb but he benches 50kg more! Yeah I cannot work out why my bench excels so much, I have long arms, bench relatively close grip, no real arch and can't get any leg drive. Technically it should be awful. | |||

Wayne_Cowdrey said:Strong! How much can you strict press? My PB was 135kg strict and 155kg push press. Since adding a delicated bench session my strict has gone up to 155kg and not done any push press so gonna test that out soon and maybe give 160kg strict a try. | |||

Post Edited: 23.05.2016 @ 15:52 PM by Tomprice Made the move into Powerlifting from Strongman almost a year ago in effort to increase my static strength in squats & deadlifts to help with Strongman. Ironically they've still barely moved in numbers since but have discovered I've got a bit of a knack for bench. And it seems to have helped my overhead numbers so at least some good has come of it!Did my first GPC comp in February in the 140kg class (BW125.9kg) and set a new record with a 230kg Bench And this week at the Trojan Great British Bench off managed a 240kg Bench (BW127.9kg). Tried to keep everything as strict as possible so I know it would count in a real comp Now I believe the all-time/all-fed RAW record is 252.5kg? Would like to challenge for it maybe this year at the British champs, Can anyone confirm if anything bigger has been done in comp? | |||
