I couldn't have put it better myself BB. In fact, the day that I reach 220 pounds, I will be gloating and doing exactly as you say.
Meanwhile, Arch pushed up 325 pounds twice. See, when I do my 220, I will try to steer away from him, otherwise I will just look silly gloating about 220....

WantItBad · 03-29-2007, 09:23 AM

325 for doubles nice.....what you tippin the scales at these days?

JerseyDevil · 03-29-2007, 02:11 PM

325 x 2, awesome Arch!

Malley · 03-29-2007, 05:08 PM

So your 1rm for bench is probably around 335 or 340 very nice.

hey Archie, what's in the water you are drinking lately, everytime I check your journal, your numbers are going up up and away! I want some of that stuff, if you could spare some!

Like I always tell you, I am happy that your bench is going up, but I don't really care about that, what I do care about is that sick overhead press numbers you are putting up. Even if it is seated, as far as I am concerned, once you get to 225 in the OH press, you are in rare company, and while everyone is giving you props for the benching, I want to give you props for the overhead pressing, I mean, I think every one of us on here has the potential to bench over 300 way before overhead pressing 225, so I am just downright impressed by that, since I like always tell you, I know personally how hard it is for me to increase on those, and you are just blowing me away (and I like to think I am a little bit strong

)

Stewart20 · 03-30-2007, 07:08 AM

are you doing any direct arm work, or are you just doing compounds?
