The List - Respectable Weights by Exercise

[QuakerOats]

You catch when you do them, or just pull?

no just pull up to about lower chest level on the lighter ones and just above the belly button on the heavier ones, overload them and PULL HARD.

Best C&J was 120kg. Did it this week. A new PB.

Best snatch was 105kg, last week.  I have an easier time with this lift, for some odd reason.

The clean is the hardest part of the lift for me. I can front squat, split squat, and overhead press way more than I can clean. Just need to get stronger there.

it is the opposite for me - i can clean with relative ease but am still not enough fast and flexible for a big snatch

i've gotten 315x7 and my best DB press is 105x3, and my shoulders are piss poor. if you're getting 315 for reps on the bench, the 100s should be pretty easy generally speaking.

Im weak on the bench.3 plates(140kg) aside for 3 reps but db shoulder press can do 50kg bells 8 times.

Do you think theres a weak link some where on the bench. I falter around the 1/2 way point.

I would stop flat benching all together and just do incline and overhead pressing. Where is a flat bench going to get you?


Though the problem with your bench probably lies in your form.

Iv only just started back on it after a couple years away from it 

I lower slowly to nipple line(highest point) pause and push back up so the bar travels like an half "S" and at the top its over my eyes.

This is how a bodybuilder should use this exercise not use the shortest range of motion from point A to Point B..as a BB I prob shouldnt care how much weight I use but hey every one wants a decent bench..

You know as your chest gets bigger your range gets smaller....why not just cut out the middle man?
