Bench Competitions
My wife to be and I have been really working hard on the bench. I didn't think I was half bad for my weight but she's beyond impressive. She's 5'4" maybe 135 lbs and flat benches close to 225 now. I hardly ever see a girl put up plates and this cute little thing is pushing up close to two sets of plates. I'll bet in the next month she'll be there. Did I mention she squats 315 lbs? I didn't believe it until I was spotting her.
My question is should I enter her into some competitions? From what I hear it would be a joke to enter her in anything local. Do any of you guys/gals have any idea what usually wins it? I'm about 165lbs and max out at about 315. Should I stick to coaching her or should I give it a try too? I/she has never done one and I'd be curious how we'd do.
Thanks,
Ryan

I know she wants to. She always talks about it. I was just curious what kind of weights people put up in these competitions.

I'll do that. It's going to be a bit though. While trying to drop some dumbells from the incline she tore a muscle in her shoulder so she'll be taking some time off. On the brighter side it will give me a chance to keep my bench well ahead of hers. Haha. Originally Posted by JonnyStead
