That'll do Ursus, that'll do....do me one favor though, do it with the db's from the down position so I can see. Thanks, buddy. Assondicks...I had a dude one time sneak by the bench and hit the bar, luckily I only had 135 on it, but he caught an earful.
What you mean the 'down position'I can and have this is in another gym I used when mine was closed over the 12th July week. This was also about 2-3 years ago now I could do 10 reps after flat benching I am sure.
I can`t believe Ursus that someone doesn`t know how to get back up from a d/bell bench,i was taught this the very first time i trained back in 1979.Watch this old guy to see what we mean.
Lol @ dr chimps...a 120# db would crush him! I've never said it hard to believe, never said it impossible...I've only said its not as easy as you doofuses claim it to be.Urs what I mean is at the end of your set, with the db's down at your chest, sit up.Fair enough? I cannot move the 130's down my body to my knees from that position and I have no desire to hold them in the air and lift my knees up to them or whatever someone was trying to describe earlier.
Not a problem.I am amazed he finds it hard to believe. I have a spotter lifting etc but 120's reasonably controlled on shoulders. I am sure on flat DB it would be much easier!
By dropping to you mean from shoulder height or just holding them at all times but dropping them?
The thread was started about people dropping weights from random heights, basically just letting go when they are finished. To the Pollock bragging about pressing the 160's and setting them down, first vids or I'm calling bullshit, this is getbig, not bbing.com, second setting the weights down from incline or seated press is easy, how do you sit up and set down the db's from a flat press without dropping them, this is the new question!
Listen I don't have to prove my strength, I been lifting for 27 years and these weihjts are true and I'm clean 5 foot 6 and 220lb.
yeah, I'll keep dropping my weights thanks. there's no way I'm blowing a shoulder reverse curling 150+ down under tension. If you have to move out the way of the rolling DBs then you were standing too close in the first place.
I love that environment..the dirty, gritty gym. 45s with rust on them, chalk stations, belts tossed in a pile in the corner by the squat racks, head nods with no words, the crowd around the guy getting him psyched for his massive ass dead lift attempt, cracks in the leather duck taped, earning respect by lifting hard and heavy even alone and not missing a day for months....bringing a fking tear to my eye.
