Made an new bench person best today
« on: November 10, 2009, 03:56:19 AM »
Well as many know I am completly natural - so you can laugh all you want the 100kg were a long time best for me.
Today I feelt good and increased it by 110kg :) I was suprised how easy it was and possibly try to extend to 120kg next time.

I know its not very heavy for a lot of you monsters out there but keep in mind I take a very wide grip have long arms and I always touch the chest so I am quite happy with my new personal best.

Start the flaming.

yeah I have very long arms and I feel not comfortable with a smaller grip - I do close bench for my triceps and I have managed 120 already when I go close for once - but I don't feel like my chest is worked out that way - and I don't have good control over the weight with a more narrow grip.
I really feel that everything over 100kg is pretty dangerous since use a thumbless grip as well (I tried both but I feel far more comfortable to use a thumbless) my weight once slipped with 90kg and I dont want to repeat that particular moment - thanks me to christ I was "on the way up" so It didn't hurt that much and no damage done.

If it is a personal best for you, who cares what anyone else thinks?  Congrats!

you know what, after years and years of training I have discovered that the best chest experiences (for me) are the flys dumbblees, or cable or pec dec.. heavy presses are important of course but i do more flys now, unlike the presses they train the chest directly and dont give part of the effort to other muscles (triceps and shoulders)..

Not bad Stark - I think the best I did as a natural was 110kg also but I weighed about 95kg when I did it.

Heaviest bench as a gear user was 160kg.

Well I am dieting down atm - I gained some "unwanted" weight when I broke my wrist - but I am very happy how my diet goes so far lost over 5 kilos this month.
But I know my strenght will go down the toilet very soon when I reach my goal of 95-100, I dont want abs I like food too much :)

Yeah that's about what I do now at 24 and 110kg. Should be able to at least do bodyweight.

I don't believe it. Increasing your max by 10 kg from one training to another is highly unrealistc.

To be fair though, being happily stuck on 100kg for so long seems unrealistic.
