As you all know...I'm a dick and have a big mouth. (Insert gift joke here)
Thing is I seem to have accepted a challenge from a rather large, strong, lifelong powerlifter....to a bench press competition. We both turn 50 in June , that's kinda the crux of it.
I have no idea of his max, be seems about the same as me, probably higher max because he has way better technique. It's friendly, he's a cool guy...but fuck that I want to win...and I'm sure he's thinking the same thing.
I'm taking Superdrol ( ha ha fuck him) ...need some technique/training .pointers.

I've never tore or strained a muscle in.my life...I'm not too concerned.

Superdrol + too heavy a weight = pec tear.
Its not worth it, you will likely look like shit for the rest of your life after that.

Get two benches put fake plates on yours and real plates on his, that should teach him a lesson.

that would be good so we can bully him about torn tits
I Realize my arm comments cut you deeply... ;D.

The secret is in trying to "rip the bar apart" while you press. Then and only then will you be a master of this lift.

When I saw the title, I assumed you had pushed Karen too far and she challenged you to a bench contest.

You're on to something here... cheat, but do it without chemicals. Well, with chemicals but also traditional cheating. Almost makes you natural.

This:
Superdrol + too heavy a weight = pec tear.
Its not worth it, you will likely look like shit for the rest of your life after that.
And this:
how about you people do 225 for as many reps as possible instead
safer
more useful
equally hard challenge
Best of luck though, stay healthy
-
You guys should train minimum 8 weeks for it Groink.......not enough time IMO.
-

Don't forget to "push your feet through the floor"
That is also key.
-
I think you should also implement some Slingshot work into your bench routine.
(http://pi.b5z.net/i/u/230085/i/Sling_shot_band_for_powerlifting_weigh_tlifting_bb_ezr.jpg)
Also make sure you keeo your rep range under 5. Anything more than that its all for hypertrophy.
Lastly, make sure to eat plenty of complex/clean carbs and BCAA intraworkout supplementation.

Complex carbs. Critical.

Do you mean like pulling outward or pushing inward on your grip on the bar? Sounds interesting
-

I believe that the bullshit "cue" (oh brother) is to "rip the bar apart" on the eccentric phase of the lift. On the press, you'll "push your feet through the floor" while "squeezing your lats".
Note that none of these things is gonna get that bar off your sternum.

You can count on me to watch both of your walkers during the challenge.

Crunch scaplua together,lift chest,plant feet,press like a mofo!

I believe it is rooted in the technique for shirted bench pressing.... some of the shirts are so stiff you need to literally pull the bar to get it to touch your chest.
So newbs will listen to people like Louie Simmons or Dave Tate talk about stuff like this, not knowing that geared-lifters are the intended audience, and will attempt to apply these techniques to their own pathetic lifts

[raises hand]
That was me. I got "coached" by a Westside Louie Simmons guy. He was giving me the business about "ripping the bar apart" as I was "pulling" 135 down. I remember thinking "WTF is this guy going on about?"

Any particular reason your not taking him on in deadlift or squat? Oh that's right, I forgot....you're a fairy who doesn't train legs. That's okay. You'll still get smashed on the bench because you're a weak pussy.

Lol ditto....I read as many of their articles as i could and wondered why I was having a hard time benching more than 185 for a couple despite my immaculate form.
Meanwhile all the other meatheads around me would plop down on a bench and rep out 225+ without giving it a thought.

Don`t forget to bring your elbows in and keep them from flaring out. ::)
Worst fucking advice ever.

Don't forget to "lower to the upper stomach area" and "bring your elbows in" to really move those heavy weights.
Would not do another 1rm bench unless there was at least the cost of reconstructive surgery riding on it.

Is that how you manage to get that massive 135 up?

Did you learn how to bench by reading a muscle magazine?
-

This. It's not enough time. Groink is on superdrol meanwhile that guy is going to be on halotestin guaranteed. Groink has the muscle size and density to bench in the mid to high 400's easy... tapping into it is going to be another story.

lol...
the easier term to visualize is 'break the bar', like you're trying to break a stick or a pencil.

Oh, okay... not to sound so dense, but which way? so that it would break upwards or downwards or towards your feet or head? ???
Upwards I assume?

grabbing the bar, you want to try to push your index finger knuckles forward and your pinky knuckles towards you.

Ah cool, interesting thanks!!
-
seriously I wouldnt entertain this
its got injury written all over it
don't let your ego make the decision to prove you still have it at 49
do a high rep challenge with a lighter weight much safer
and probably a better test of where you are

Had one of my lifting buddies tear a pec last night. Strong kid, very good bencher for his weight. 4th rep on 375 and RIP.

Heavy benching after age 40 is not worth the risk.
Challenge him to a DB pressing contest.

Did he row the bar to his chest whilst ripping the bar apart? Failure there may have been his downfall.
-

He said he felt great. 375 is always his go to for his heavy sets. Freak incident.

I feel he would have avoided the incident if he would have tried harder to rip the bar apart.

For the next few months he should practice planting the balls of his feet firmly under the couch and visualizing "snapping a pencil" while lifting the remote control.

Once all the smartass comments are over (couple more pages prolly), let me know if you'd like to know how to really do this without getting hurt, or making a fool of yourself vs. a guy who does this all the time.
And how much time do you have to prep?

What techniques did you deploy to decimate all those naturals while your were sauced to the tits?
-
Ah cool, interesting thanks!!
forces your elbows in and creates external rotation in the shoulder. more stable, stronger position, and much much less chance for injury.
strong triceps = strong bench.
benching for strength/poundage and benching for chest growth are two different things.... like squatting for strength/poundage and squatting for quad growth.
-
In Poland we bench 2-3 times per week, usually 3 because benching is fucking easy and triceps/chest recuperates fast.
Here is programme I got from natural powerlifter sporting 480lbs+ bench press:
week / day1 / day2 / day3 + paused narrow grip bench, it's in KGs and for designed for 140kg bench press max. Just multiply everything by your max/140kg if you wanna use it.
1. 120 5x3 110 4x5 105 6x6/95 4x4 pauza 2s
2. 115 3x4 125 3x3 110 3x6/97.5 3x4 pauza 2s
3. 130 2x2 115 4x4 125 4x3/100 3x3 pauza 2s
4. 120 3x4 115 4x5 130 4x3/102.5 3x3 pauza 2s
5. 120 2x5 135 2x2 115 2x6/105 3x3 pauza 2s
6. 135 4x2 125 3x5 130 2x4/107.5 3x3 pauza 2s
How to bench press?
You must by all costs learn how to arch your back. First try to lay on the bench with legs slightly behind the bench. Feet solid on the ground. Then slide yourself in the directions of your legs slightly, legs still in same position as before, ass NOT on a bench. It will look like gymnastic exercise:
0:11, not sure how it is called in English. The only difference is that your upper back is on the banch. Then you ask someone to "give" you your barbell. It is very important because with heavy weights you won't be able to hold your position if you unrack the barbell all by yourself. position it just over lower portion of the chest, preferrably over the line where your chest meets the abs. Slow negative and on the positive portion of the movement always remember to press "forward", not "behind". You don't wanna be over your upper chest at the end of the movement. Straight line = less distance = less effort = better result.
Good luck.

I "sauced" once when I was around 19-20. My AAU powerlifting stuff was in my late 20s early 30s. Looooong time with no drugs. But thanks for asking.
-
I only managed 405 x 1 today after 4 weeks off. But hey, not bad for almost 52.
