Bench Press Comp

cappi1000 · 02-08-2010, 05:52 AM

If anyone is a member of the YMCA/JCC, there will be a bench press comp on the 20th at the new West Toledo Y. If anyone is interested in more details, let me know and I will post them up.....thought I would throw this out there....the Y is using this as a fundraiser....it is broken down into age and weight classes.....not a sanctioned event by any PL orgs, just a fun day to see what you have!!! I will be competeing in the 30-39 year old class and the 220.1-275 weight class.....would love to see some forum people out there.....

My best were 275 at 153lbs and 285lbs at 170lbs. Unfortunetly I've been slacking and doubt I'd be able to get up much more then 235-245 at 180 right now.

929rider · 02-08-2010, 06:20 PM

i did 315 on the decline 3 times and i hit the rack on the way up on the 3rd one. killed my momentum.

hahaha.... not having ever really worked out, I got in to bally's for a month with a friend. We took two days to get my form down so I wouldn't destroy my face if I was going to drop the bar, then threw up 100 lbs 3 times....

I weighed in at 106 lbs.

94% of my body weight on what was basically the first go.

I weighed in at 106 lbs. clothed and wet

94% of my body weight is clothes.

damn man..

postmanr6 · 02-09-2010, 04:03 AM

ive been working out but cant say i bench alot. ive never maxed out because i think your not gettin anything in return. i generally throw up 135 then bump to 145 in sets. not trying to get big just weight loss and cardio.

how is the competition set just curious?

unfortunately, decline doesn't translate very well to standard flat bench....
