the joke is his log was indicating heavy press reps, relative to what he benches.
but somehow doing a max would be a digression from his elite powerlifting training.
ink, are you going to enter this year's comp?
If so, huge reshuffle of betting coming up.
What weight class do you lift at.
Might throw a lift in after ProRaw.....
So your bench is about half the current raw world record. Would you claim that someone running 18 seconds in the 100m sprint is pretty decent.
Not trying to bag you, just being realistic, I would be shithouse at powerlifting. Putting up a press isn't going to hurt you.
nah,dont see the point.and doing 1 rep maxes may be harmful.if he said maybe who can do sets and reps then i would think about it.
Press behind neck is much better exercise to assist bench. It puts more emphasis on the medial lobe of the delt whereas front pressing will always hit the anterior delt more. You need medial delt development for shoulder stability (well until it grinds away the ac joint anyway). Sadly press behind the neck is a young mans lift.
I used to rely upon it and even put 140 up standing behind the neck with only a tiny shove from the legs to start it. Probably why my shoulders feel a bit rough now but conversely it's probably why I can still bench okay after 30 years of benching 1.7 to 2.1 times bodyweight.
You don't see the point of 1 RM and compete in powerlifting. Lol.
Crossing the road may also be harmful but I'm assuming you do that regularly leading up to PL comp.
yeah i believe the risk vs reward of doing this particular comp is not worth it to me.so wat.i squat way more than u.sue me.
here we go, the lunatic is on the grass.
