I bet half of you didn't even lift today

[BigRo]

Currently can bench 140kg for 10 smooth reps, no spot, how about you? Think my best with this weight was 13 reps, done 180kg for a single. Nothing overly impressive.

Bench press - Single reps up to a pre-planned top single, then 3x5reps@ 80% of that top single

IN, are you running a program like 5/3/1 or similar?
(Or just doing your own programming)?

I add a few lbs. every workout to the top sets.

When I stall out drop some weight off and start going back up.

Same old same old.

Matt claims to bench more weight for more reps and says form doesn't matter. I would say Big Ro is proof form does matter and it's not how much you lift but how you lift it that counts.

matters for what? i'm not as muscular as you, but 365 is my last front squat warmup

Bhanky,
How is your new job going?

I don't disagree, but that's not why.

Big Ro is more developed than Matt because he has better insertions / shape and does full blown gear cycles.

My guess is Big Ro isn't training towards maximum 1 rep Poundages
If He was then likely he could bench heavier for 1 rep.

Hopefully He will clarify - Either way He has a Damn fine Physique

Not sure 450mgs test and 200 tren e per week is that full blown:)

I have never focused on building up my one rep max on bench, I did that last year just to see if I could do it because 4 plates scared me and I did it nice and controlled without a spotter, all the way down to the chest and pressed straight up to lockout.  I also did 160kg x 8 last year, off season.

Bhanky,
How is your new job going?

Great I work from home 7am-4pm. I have a water view from my desk. I don't have to go anywhere or see anyone. I am right next to my kitchen. Working from home is really nice.

What was your Body weight ?
The 160kg x 8 is good going
Are you planning on competing this year ?

Maybe not in BB realms, but compared to the non user or legit TRT user, it is.

Also, it wasn't a criticism, just to be clear.  I think you do it correctly with your on/off cycles, but I also don't know that game so I'm just pulling that out of my ass.

I hiked the Grand Canyon from the South Rim to the North Rim.

It was about 21.5 miles and the last mile was almost straight up.

One of the most difficult things I’ve ever done. If I ever do it again I will do it in the opposite direction.

Thank you, my feet still hurt.

This is great.

It must help with your agoraphobia and anorexia.

That's on my list for next spring.

Was it all done in a day?

I've heard it's a challenging hike.

Yes, we started at 5:30 AM and I finished at 5:30 PM. The next person in the group finished at 6:30 PM, and the last of the group finished about two hours after that.

It was about 50F at the South Rim, about 100F at Phantom Ranch, and about 54F at the North Rim (approximately 9,000 feet elevation). The canyon is open from May to October 15th. If you’re serious about hiking it, make your reservations at the North Rim Lodge soon. We stayed in Tusayan at the South Rim.

It is a very difficult hike, don’t underestimate how hard it will be and the toll the heat takes on you.

But - I would highly recommend it if you’ve done your prep work.

Yes - rim to rim.

Same as your last date with Shitzo !  🤣
