Maybe 2 reps with 315 were a centimeter away, but other than that it looks pretty tight to me.

I was one supporting that you could do it but no way thats a legit bench in any of them

There is no doubt about the 330 lift..... 315 a couple reps are borderline, but to say none of them are legit is a stretch...

Good lifts, but your spotter should be more punctual. I tell mine as soon as the bar stops moving yank that damn weight off! No need to start tearing tendons and whatnot. It's obvious the weight won't be lifted when it stops moving. my cents

Alex23 · « **Reply #15 on:** January 14, 2009, 01:18:58 AM »

does your gym has a pastel wall policy?

Failed. Looks like your grip is too wide, your bear should've told you that... you're narrow and you don't lever well.

I like the fact that he doesnt put much in to the spot..... Gives me a good feel for the weight, especially a weight like that that I havn't done a lot of, so next time I know how heavy its going to feel...

Havn't really tried a narrower grip before, so it might be worth a shot. First time I've seen myself doing weights on video and it's quite an eye opener!

And the gym is a "family gym" $:-\$ I only train there coz it's close to work. We have been warned a dozen times that we are too loud and they threaten to ban us all the time

True, maybe i'm just picky.

I agree you should use I slightly narrower grip. Even your partner has a more narrow grip and I know he's outweighing you by 40 plus. I'm no bench guru by the way but get those tri's under you more. I know some will disagree but thumbless grip helps me use tri's more too.

Don't get me wrong, the input is greatly appreciated.... Definately going to look at making a few adjustments to my technique.
