[mesmorph78]

yep feels good..
natural.. traning from i was less than 160lbs with 13 inch arms all the way up by myself

i wont lie tho it was heavvvy as hell well the lock out part was..
but yeah  it feels good

[Overload]

Awesome lift man!

Keep moving heavy weight!

[mesmorph78]

thx man
 

[thewickedtruth]

what blows my mind is the volume you did leading up to that press! And how much more you could've done if you didn't do so many reps per set on the way up! maybe if you went 135x15x1,225x8x1,315x6 or 8 reps for a set...knowing how damn strong you are, you could've hammered it a few more reps! 

[mesmorph78]

mm i see ur point
i didnt plan to do it really..just felt good that day..
and with bench i like to pound the lighter sets before maxing out...so im warm and in the groove before i go really heavy...
on  other bench days
its usually 35 for 20
225  for15
315 for
3 and a half plates 4 reps
3 and 3 quarter plat (15kg) for a double or single

[PANDAEMONIUM]

went in the gym did
did
135 for 20
225 for 15
315 for 10
and then 405 for a single
all sets on my own no hands touching my bar
not bad for a 200lb guy single digit bf%

Excellent lifts, meso.  405 flat bench is always impressive raw, esp on a guy who weighs half that.  Props.

[mesmorph78]

thx man
thx for the shoutout

[WOOO]

good stuff man, i know that's a goal you've been shooting for, not starting anything here but do you have a clip of it, i believe you but it would be nice to see a clip for motivation.

c'mon, tell the truth, you just want to watch him lift...

[snowboarding_bear]

thats crazy dude!

Everyone can only try for their best; most won't reach 400 lb. not because of a lack of effort but rather genetics and/or injuries as the body breaks down under heavier loads. Those at 400 and above have a predisposition for benching, usually injury-free or something like it. Onlyme's an example, i don't think he's ever been seriously injuried while benching heavy.

I NEVER arch my back while neching my back remains flat on the bech at all times

Hey man good for you finally getting that up. I know it's been on your mind for a while now.. congrats!

Mes how come you pyramid up for certain exercises and others you just use the same weights for all 4 sets. ex: chest vs arms?

[tonymctones]

damn you mes how the hell am i supposed to catch up if you keep getting stonger? dont make me tonya harding your ass

i just never felt arms need low reps like anything under 6 reps...
and i only dont go up on certain arm excersises..namely olympic barbell curls because when i start to go too heavey i tend to start  to swing... because the bar is so wide.. where as with bench its harder for you to cheat
besiides and olympic bar plus a 45 each side gets the job done maybe one a month i go up heavy nowadays
all other arm excersises i pyramid up on... actually goods arm gains now legitmate 19's now..at this minute..
when i do camber bar curls ..i wll pyramid up alwas but i rarely do those..
at the moment what has given me extra size on my arm is workin arms twice a week..
one light workout ..consisting of 3 excersis
and on fridys my real arm session.. 5 excersises for tris 4 for bis
so my split is now
monday back - light bis
tuesday chest - light tris
wed  rest
thursday legs
fri.shoulders ..heavy arms
tho my arms are 19.. my delts chest and back grow really fast particularly mny chest.. and delts
so i g=hit arms alonside them to keep in proportion
anyway hows your lifting going?

Interesting split. You plan on doing legs twice a week too? But 19 inchs guns   wow dude that's awesome!

My training is going pretty good. I just did my first leg workout in 6 weeks and now I can barely walk. I trained upperbody twice a week and got some size and strength gains from that.

I am trying to gain some strength on chest but my dumbells at the gym only go up to 100s. I am thinking of gripping two dumbells at the same time like a 100 pounder and 20 pounder. Hope that works. Keep up the great work!

gotta get yourself some magnetic weights alexxx the great champ!

I never claimed that. The point was that there can be little progress made whilst on such a diet. Maintenance at best.

I will be lucky at this age if I ever can bench 200 for reps.

If you insist on this pseudo-sarcastic, prepubescent tone, which your posts tend to smack of, I will smack back. Refrain now...
