405@180

[smokinHawk]

Well finally after chasing it for years I hit a 405 raw bench at 180lb bodyweight tonight. Touch and go.
todays bench session went like
135x7x7x7
225x10
315x8 for 2 sets
345x1
365x1
385x1
405x1 right side came up slow but i pushed with everything and got it.
then some cool downs
320x1 [5lbs was loaded heavier on the right side only](paused) for 2 sets

also last saturday with coach wolfey's help i hit 410 and a 425 pounds in my F6
yay i have a 20lb carry over in my shirt! hopefully I will hit 10lb PR's each time i come up like my training partner has been.

I plan on loosing 5lbs of fat while keeping my strength up so i can drop 10lbs water weight to make it at 165, but still want to keep pushing it, hopefully ill be at 430lbs by the end of the year.

That's a HUGE milestone dude! Impressive work, keep it up.

[WillNoble]

GREAT WORK!!!! seriously, keep it up man, thats a truly great feat of strength

[CleverName]

At first I thought this was gonna be a deadlift or squat thread... holy bench!

[Reko]

Nice work man! I'm hoping to get to that 405 too sometime soon, although at a much higher weight :)

[ryuage]

i thought it was going to be a curl thread

great job... i can only wish to hit that at 180

[waynedang]

Nice lifting!!!!!

[Eric Downey]

Great job bro. I remember when I first hit 405

[Lones Green]

nice benching. and once you get that shirt down, i'm sure you will get much more carryover.

[Invain]

Wow, awsome **** man! 430 raw at 165 would be ****ing SICK. Good luck with your next goal!

[bigbadwolfe]

So now we are only getting a 20 pound carry over :(

Congrats on the 405 raw now lets get that shirt bench up :)

See ya Saturday?????

[ACaslow]

[Keith]

You're a beast! That's a HUGE bench at your weight! That's a ton of volume for your warm up sets, too.

[essentialherb08]

Sic lifting bro! 405@180 is pretty f'n impressive twice your body weight and some. Keep leaping

hey i am glad on any type of carry over now, before it was a big fat zero.

should be there saturday as long as Jay's boy doesnt have a soccer game so he cant come, but i think he can.

now that i got a number in my shirt I am expecting 10 lbs each time i come up, like Jay has been getting.


thanks everyone for the props!

[Guido]

That's a great milestone, man. I can't WAIT will I get there, but I have a long way to go. You'll be hitting 500 in a shirt in NO time.

[JayM181]
