Managed 135x8 on barbell OH press (strict). One rep PR.
Nice!Bench Press 135# x15
OK so the 325 was a no go. Wasn't even able to put up my 275 warm up, had bench yesterday so probably a little shot from that still.
Only got 10 x 225, sorry to disappoint. Was hoping for at least 15.

Hey my good sir... do you differentiate for bench, or is it OHP only? Was trying to read through the thread but don't fully understand... I mean I can ALMOST do 325 ohp, but I've got that down pat for bench..Nice! Logged
Haha I was bullied into allowing benches and any type of press really.Hey my good sir... do you differentiate for bench, or is it OHP only? Was trying to read through the thread but don't fully understand... I mean I can ALMOST do 325 ohp, but I've got that down pat for bench..
Challenge accepted!Nah, I'll keep to OHP... just gotta make sure I out OHP anyone else's benches
I'll compete with it. Just give me 2 weeks to be ready for my new max. I'll get 1x 315 for OHP.As it should be imo. It doesn't make sense to have two completely different lifts competing against each other. At least a sumo deadlift, conventional deadlift and say dumbbell deadlift are all deadlifts. Same with squat variations. But if someone posts say a 3 plate bench how is someone's OHP supposed to compete with that?
With the weights you're working with and pushing for maxes, I am a little concerned about bench press safety. (Blame the mom in me...) Have you thought through what happens if you miss and the weight comes back down? Do you have safety bars, or maybe the weight is uncollared so you can dump it if needed?@silveraw current bench max is 325 x 2(didn't get the 3 but will next time) I do NOT want that added to the mix, just sharing the achievement! Crazy to think 5 weeks ago 325 was my max, and I am hitting it for reps with 355 being current max
