my bench = weak

man, my bench is weak Im 6'4 185, my last bench was 145...even though ive only been workin out for about 4-5 weeks and that is an improvement from when i began, that is still sad...but im gonna keep workin at it!

 

[Mudge]

Improvement is what counts

 

[Randy]

Raw: 290ish
Gear: 375

At least you admit it Saturday.... Most gearheads would just say 375 natural

But if you can come across looking that much better, I guess why not. But it still seems like cheating to us naturals

 

[Randy]

I'm still peaking around 290 as my 1RM., but have only seem to be getting 1 day a week in on benching. I'm 6'1 230lbs

I think "gear" indicates powerlifting gear, like a bench press shirt.

 

[Randy]

Must be one hell of a shirt to go from 290 to 375
Where can I get one of those shirts?

 

[GIZmo_Timme]

yea cool stuff

 

[Randy]

Geezes Christ...who is that in your avatar GIZmo? He's got to be photoshoped..
His head is so small in proportion to his body

Yes, he is using single poly last I recall.

 

[Randy]

I like the spring on the chest idea myself

I play football though so how much I bench doesnt really matter

 

[Randy]

Yeah it does, the more you bench the easier it is to push everyone off your ass in a dog pile

I don't like doing barbell bench so i seldom do them. I max out tho and i'm kinda stuck at 160 for like a month now... is it because i'm not doing barbell and should start doing it?

 

[SRC]

weight 225
bench 315

hey pumthatiron - bro I love the shot of Chris Childs popping Kobe, that was awesome, KNICKS baby!

 

[SRC]

My bad, weight 205, bench 315, lost some fat!

 

[Mudge]

is it because i'm not doing barbell and should start doing it?

It could be many things, that is probably one of them. Since form is so important for getting GOOD results in a lift, it would be advised to do that lift often.
