I found this website about 3 months ago, and just wanted to increase my bench some. With the advice and help of benchmonster, I started training westside and bought a sqaut rack. Powerlifting has been the best thing that I ever stumbled on. I have been tired as hell getting used to training legs, but I went from about 175lbs benching 330 raw to 190lbs and just got 385 w/ a single ply hphd shirt( that made some scarry tearing noises today lol). I'm sure I should be able to go up more quite fast with a better shirt since I have been able to lift a lot more on the three board presses. I realize this is just a gym lift, but I can't wait til the next competition comes up close to me, so I can get a feel for the atmosphere and rules. Just thought I would share my joy.;) I will never go back to bodybuilding type lifting again.tuttut
