PB today! - Video added

I don't think he's "running" anything - Goudy has always said he's natural.

[pluck]

Good lifts!

Not to discredit you, but I remember in high school a kid that was 17 at the time do 315 x 10 on max day for football. He was a junior and I was a senior at the time. I was looking at his lift in utter effing shock. ...I haven't done any free weight pressing in a long time due to my shoddy left shoulder so anyone doing 3 wheels a side is doing something right.

[affy]

this is all while eating <100 grams of protein right

if i remember correctly you had kidney problems...or was that someone else

315x10 is extremely impressive for a natural

If everything under 3 grams a week is natural, then yes, Goudy is natural.

I eat more protein now.

I eat a LOT more now though I think more intense training and more rest is contributing. Plus as I get heavier lifts become easier.

I actually done a set of 330lbs after it and man that extra few lbs made all the difference as I had not been doing low reps for a while. Every rep felt harder that I would have liked.

Not that this means much to any of you but I assure you and promise you all I am and always have been a lifetime drug free lifter. Whether you choose to believe this is entirely up to you.

why would you jump from 3 plates to 4 plates,if you never tried, 4 plates will crush you, no matter how much you can rep with 3 plates. doesnt work like that. why not try to add 1,25 kg plates every workout or every other workout, that will get you somewhere.


also i noticed something else! when a spotter hands you the weight for the first rep, your body doesnt know how heavy it is, so you get surprised and cant lift one damn rep, destroys the concentration, i like to take the barbell my self from the first rep, that way the mind and body know what its neceserry to lift that heavy weight!!!!

[EL Mariachi]

hmmm im working on a better bench myself, never cared for it, i dont go over 5 reps, for hardest set i do max 2 reps, gonna bench twice a week to speed it up!!

got weak wrists though, hurts my bench weight a lot!!

And I sell perfectly fine used cars. 

[Ursus]

I prefer when teh spotter gradually takes the weight off the lift out.

When it is dumped on you it can make light weights feel heavy.

[ChristopherA]

for some people it works that way....

bench

I agree. Really everyone is differant. When I would get 12 reps with 225, I still would barely get 315.But then one of my buddies would do 225 for what looked like a hard 8 and do 315. Only one way to find out, slap another wheel on each side and go for it.

[Ursus]

Yea some people have predominantly fast twitch muscle fibres etc. I have done 3.5 plates before after my benching and it was ok - though unless I am repping 3 plates for 1 or 2 sets of 10 I dont think I will get the 4.

Here is the vid.

[Croatch]

Good lift for being natural.  My best 315 for 8 or so.  At a fat bodyweight of 225.

[Ursus]

That video you posted years ago with some cool music and lots of lifting montages was really cool to watch when I was young. Good motivation. D5 was it called?

I am 250lbs atm so it aint all that impressive.

[#1 Klaus fan]

Why do people who spot put the hands on or near the bar when it's relatively light weight and it's probably not going to drop on the lifter's throat suddenly...They could just be ready and take it when the bar falls downwards.

[clued-up]

Man, I thought you were going to lose those plates on the right side during your last 2 reps.

Natural, it's a good lift for sure.  Even at that body weight.  Remember, most people fear doing anything on their own.  Hence gear and 2 spotters.  It's a frightening thing for most to enter a gym and realize...I'm fucking weak.
Yeah, the lifting montage.  When I used to train hard and eat better.  A good cut.

[crownshep]

Good video Ursus,i would guess you would be very close to 4 plates for a single if you just did 3-4 reps on the 3 plates and then singles on a 5kg a side jump just to test your strength one workout.
This guy has been aiming for 10 reps with 3 plates and then got his single with 4 plates (actually he got it on close grip first before regular grip),and you both look to have the same amount of difficulty on the last rep.

[clued-up]

Natural, it's a good lift for sure.  Even at that body weight. 

At 250 pounds? Its an OK lift.

[JasonH]

Very nice lifting 

Thought you were going to lose it on the last one though! 

[ChristopherA]

Solid set. Judging by the vid, dont think you got 4 plates in you just yet.

[Ursus]

I think I may have a hernia gonna call in to open surgery tomorrow morning.

If I do I wont be lifting for a few weeks after surgery so it is nice to know where I stand. I will try a true 1RM though before/if I do have a hernia and need surgery.

Unlucky. Last year I had pain in my groin that the physio thought might be a hernia, and to test for it he pushed his finger through my ball bag and into my pelvis. He then proceeded to probe and prod for a considerable amount of time. It was very, very unpleasant.

I was then sent to have my groin ultrasounded. While the old women scanned me, the physio held my penis down to one side to prevent it getting in the way. It was only afterwards that it dawned on me that I could have held my cock down myself. All in all, not the most dignified time in my life.

LOL

Mine is an umbilical bulge.

I also had a camera inserted up my dick many years ago to look inside my kidney. It hurt to pee for weeks after. Not dignified for me either as an 18 year old to think I was lay passed out in a pair of socks whilst a doctor held my wab and shoved a samera up it..

Haha, any story the involves having something shoved down your Jap's eye automatically toptrumps all other stories.

That being said, my mate (genuinely my mate, not me) went to see the Medical Officer where he was based because he was pissing blood. He says he doesn't know what exactly happened, but 10 minutes later he was stood in the M.O's office with his trousers around his ankles, the blinds pulled down and the M.O's finger up his arse.

Shit I thought this was about Peanut Butter.  Oh well good job on the incline.  And keep doing heavy dumbells. 

wise words from Keith here... My bench goes up purely due to hard dumbell work...
Good lift Goud
