Title: 225 x 27 clean reps on bench
Post by: T-REX007 on July 03, 2013, 12:56:51 PM: I repped out on my last set of bench work today. I was thinking about the how many reps at 225 thread so I figured what the heck - I did it feet elevated to take out leg drive and make it a little harder

47 years old, 212 BWT -Hit the upright on the last rep

If the bar is 45lbs, great clean lift man. Hats off to you. Everyone should take notes on your form, those are clean reps IMHO. Well done sir

Post by: crownshep on July 04, 2013, 05:37:02 AM: Just watched your other video of you benching 4 plates for a single,which shows again that to get around the 25-27 clean reps with 2 plates equates to a 4 plate bench.Very strong benching Travis.

Yes there is an epidemic of "lifters" these days who have their platonic training partner row 225 off their chest for eight reps and are like "yeah my 1RM is about 495."

If Adonis and cswol teamed up for a bench video, they could both break records ;D

any reason you put your feet on a chair?

...because people think generating power through the feet is considered cheating. I personally think it's beneficial as you can handle more weight, in addition to having better control over your movement.

Each to his own i guess.

Post by: T-REX007 on July 04, 2013, 07:48:55 AM: I put my feet up to make it a little harder, take out the leg drive effect .... It makes it harder to "cheat" with the feet elevated

Thanks for the good words gents !
