MT 220lb bench press competition!

Hey Dazsw, whats this about the boxing? I used to compete and won the SABA Heavy weight title in 1997. I actually stopped body building and shrunk from 17,10 to 14,4 with lots of running, circuit training, pads, bag, sparring. Was still eating like a bear though. Now right back into the weights. Let me know how you are getting on with the fighting. The championships are onoly a few months away, are you going for it?

Got 10 reps with 105kg

I managed 22 last workout. That was at the end of chest and totally pre exhausted. I am one of the natural warriors and fresh I estimate low 30's.

I have been training for 12 years and have been a little stronger in years gone by however, my gains are on the move again.

I'm 5'10, 245lbs, 51' chest, 19.5' arms (pumped), 36' waist, 28.5' quads, 18.5 inch neck

Bench 185kg, squat 245kg, deadlift 245kg

I eat 7-10 times a day, train 3 times a week (weights) with the odd aerobic activity including chasing and rolling about with criminals, yes I am a cop!

Unless you harbour ambition to compete, stay clean. The gains you can make without the gear are vastly under rated. Consistency is the key. Without the gear you can still be a big mother f***er but you wont harness the same freakish condition.

LATER MY IRON BROTHERS.

1 rep, do i get a prize, lol

Finished frying the pecs again tonight. Last set of the workout 220lbs for 28. Happy days!!!!!!!

got 30 with 110kg before I nearly wet myself with the pump. Where are you from naturalmass, any friend of old Hamish the mink farmer?

is 15 reps anygood for a 84 kilo 19 year old...just want an evaluation cheers

a hell of a lot better than me when i was that age (and a lot heavier!)

Hope you all had a great Christmas. I had a fabulous feast, twice. Will spend the rest of today (boxing day) getting rid of the cardboard boxes, eating, playing PS2 games, eating properly and going for a long walk with the family. Bencher, 110 for 30???? You freak!

What's your max?

Later.

Max at the moment is around the 230kg mark until I get back on the sauce and get into my old shirt.

this high rep stuff it too much like CV

I tried 5by5ing with 100kg the other day only managed....
5,5,4,3,2
I reckon I could do 6!

8 reps top. 16 stone, bit of a fat boy.

Could do 6 reps with 102.5kg
Now just come back after a few months out and can only do 87.5 for 5x5.
5'6"

managed 5 reps on 90k. then tried 100k after i finshed my workout. i learned a VERY valuable lesson. never again will i try to do that with no1 else in the gym to run and help me when i caffle with it stuck on top of me!! i am 19(2mo) and weigh 65k so 5reps at 90k isnt 2bad for now.

Slyblackdragon Slyblackdragon Slyblackdragon, when I was your age i had been wokring out and could only get 80 - now im over 130. 3 years later.

I dont know - i will test it out - im guessing 15 but i will try it out some time.
