Will be getting in on this. I have a buddy who hit a 500 lb bench with 2 second pause should inform him of this lol

Hit 342 in competition w/ a few lbs left on the platform, went 3/3 on bench but it's definitely different than in the gym. Not the same bar you're used to so gotta feel out your grip on the fly, calibrated kilo plates, and all the other factors of a meet. Went 314-330-342. In hindsight, if I went something like 308-325-350 i'm pretty sure it would've been there but I can't complain. It was my first meet. Will post the vid later.
In the bench comp you put on last year I hit 315 in the gym, so still pretty pleased with 342 in competition a year later or so.

Watching these videos now so stand-by for the edits
If your name, weight lifted, bodyweight, and video are the only things I leave in this post, it means your lift is good and I am getting ready to do the copy and paste thing to the leaderboard lol.
I think you practiced that pause
I wish I could just hold 455 on my chest for that long and then still push it like a warm up
In fact I wish I could do that with 355. Solid plug on the chiro service. You own it/work it? Or did they help you out?
How tall are you? That bar looked like it took a long ass trip to the top.

sm1ke- 255@201

You forgot to show the paper during the lift. The benchpress is good, but cannot count it without the other part.Haven't tried going over 225 yet so this is it for now.

Good for 100@191And this is why I fear bench in a real competition!! Much respect. A pause of any kind is a whole different animal than a touch and go, and a long pause is like an alien
I'm pretty sure Hammy will put up more than that before this is over.
So, my pause isn't as long as you prefer either, but I gotta post at least one entry, 100#. I did weigh fully clothed with lifting shoes on, but I am solidly in the over 185 class nekkid. Hammy put up the first strong entry, I will put up the first weak one
Sorry if I did anything wrong, I didn't think I had singles planned for today until I got to the gym and didn't have a chance to review the rules. DQ this entry if you need to!
Would have put up one for 105 but first forgot to continue recording my plates and paper and then I missed 110. I'll work on at least 110 by the end of the contest. Hammy Hammy Hobbes put up the first strong entry in the women's group and I'll put up the first weak entry at 55% of my body weight....

Chiro plug, she gave me a free shirt.

I figured the Company could toss some cool stuff the OW's way for a while and the OW would rep the Company's products in some strong as fuk videos for that same time.
