well done sapphire!

 

[dschneid]

do anyone here know what 1kg is? kilo grams....... 33lb's same as 15kg

1 kg = 2.2 lbs

I benchpress 286lbs

(And I do six reps with dumbels weighing 107 pounds each for shoulder presses.
Think that's pretty ok )

I've seen women bench, heck I've seen a woman do board presses.

the women at my gym do power cleans and deadlfts

[Ahsan]

I am training for about three to four months. I can bench atleast equal to my bodyweight.
BW:155
Bench: 155

 

[Randy]

Good Job Ahsan...

They say if you can bench your weight you are strong.
Keep it up

 

[Ahsan]

Thx anyway, But i am bit disappointed as well cuz I cant touch the bar to my nipples. Whenever I try to do this my shoulder suddenly fells down. Can anyone solve this problem.

 

[Randy]

Not sure Ahsan, never heard of this problem. One thing I know is your not supposed to bounce the bar off your chest.., but the fact that your shoulder collapses when you touch the bar against it is a new one to me... Maybe some of the others here can help you on that one.

Also be careful when lifting bar behind your neck.. Many say you can cause problems with your rotator cuff... If you do them, don't go all the way down. Never was a problem for me, but that is what the experts say here. Well won't be a problem to you now, but as you start to lift heavy it can. It is best to keep the right habits now.
