i'm not that far off from a world record bench

Didn't touch it, actually.

Almost did, because he almost failed right before lockout, which is very odd, considering if one was to fail, it's generally sooner in the acceleration phase.

I think he vowed to do more heavy tricep work after, but I don't remember.

Nope. Most powerlifters tend to fail the lockout when they don't make a lift.

[Fortress]

You expect to gain 25% or so on you're best lift. With competition rules, dropping 20lbs the day before, first time out.
Best of luck trying, youll need it

Well said. Guy's delusional. Has no idea what he's talking about.

Good to know.  I guess I was just going off the small sample of my experience.

I defer to you on this stuff.

That's fair to say, in many instances, yeah.

[The Wizard of Truth]

Look, I'm telling you now, change the title of the thread to 'I'm 25-30% away from a world record bench, on the condition I can lose 30lbs in one day and I don't piss all over my legs when under competition pressure'

[Grape Ape]

That's fair to say, in many instances, yeah.

Oh, bigmc wasn't shirted then, so I feel better now.
