Author Topic: I Benched 107.5 kg in Competition 3-16-08 (Read 98051 times)

Thanks Beast.

I'm totally feeling those board presses today btw. My shoulders and elbows were fried last night, and while they are better today, I am a bit sore. It still amazes me how these workouts, which are pretty low-volume, manage to completely WRECK me.

Because its more neurally demanding.

CNS fatigue is what you are feeling.

Last shirt workout before the bench meet on Sunday...last workout actually.

3-board 205 x 1
2-board 205 x 2
225 x 1
225 x 1
3-board 245 x 1

The two sets where I touched weren't perfect, but they weren't terrible. I pushed back towards my head a bit on the first one and probably wouldn't have gotten the lift. I got the second one, but I actually slid back on the bench while I was pressing (and may have lifted my ass a little) and ran the bar into the rack a little.

225 will be my opener on Sunday again. It's a bit different with the start command, but I'm pretty comfortable with that weight.

USPF RI/MA meet was yesterday. I won the women's bench press.

My little dress belt got disqaulified

...so I had to lift beltless, which kinda SUCKED. It's nice to have something to hold the damn bench shirt down.

I got my first two lifts fairly easily - 102.5 kg (~225 pounds) and 107.5 kg (~237 pounds). So I went big on the last lift - 112.5 kg (~248 pounds), and I didn't get it. My shirt totally rode up on the last lift - it did on all of them, but real bad on the last one, and it just wasn't happening this time.

I think we got video of at least one of the lifts, so I'll try to post it later. I watched a video of my last attempt (248), and you can totally see the Titan logo riding up towards my neck as I am bringing the bar down.

I guess I need an acceptable THIN belt. There was this kid at the meet who had a nice thin one made by Inzer, with a lever pull on it. I'll have to look into that.

I'm really happy with how things went this season, and VERY thankful for all of the help you guys have given me. It's been an awesome learning experience. You guys rock!

I officially LOVE powerlifting.

I'm really not sure what's next for me at this point.

Thanks!
I did get 235 at the last meet as well, but this one was a MUCH better lift in my opinion. Video coming soon.....

Congrats!!!

Just keep progressing slowly and you will be over 300 before you know it!

Here's the clip of the 107.5 kg lift (about 237 pounds). Much better than the last meet, I thought. I actually got a red flag from the judge on my right side, but I didn't really see/feel my butt lift at all.

That was FAST! Not a problem with that lift at all.

A good way to end the season.... at least for now.

Looked like you did that weight easily.

I didn't see much of a pause but you get the touch and go. Nice lift. Welcome to the "I bench more than 100lbs more than I weigh" club. You may be one of the hottest members, along with myself. I am also in the "I've benched 150lbs more than I weigh". I was only off the "I bench double my weight" club by like 10lbs in bench. I was maxing at 290lbs bench when I weighed 150lbs back in Jan '06.

Thank you...but the video clip is too dark for me to determine whether you are one of the hottest members of the "I Bench 100 Pounds More than I Weigh" Club!

I don't care if random internet people find me attractive, I put my vids on there so people can see me doing lifts, not see my face. I train at home, and I train at the best club in my city sometimes. My basement may not be gold's gym or Legends but that doesn't stop high level pro fighters from coming over to train with me.

Ripitupbaby, if you want some more personal pics, for your eyes only I will gladly oblige, but I will expect reciprocation. let me know
