For those that still lift Vol. 2

Finally caught my white buffalo yesterday; I hit a three and a half plate bench. I got 350 in December, 355 right before corona, and somehow failed 365 twice in between then and now. It shouldn't have taken this long, but here we are anyway.

42 years old, 6', 223...and officially on wall of fame at my gym (for now).





350 in December.

What's that little hip thing you do right before you press OP, is it just to get the bar moving?

It's leg drive, but poorly executed by not keeping a stable enough core. It wasn't a pretty rep.

Thought so. Certainly wouldn't call that an ugly rep though, besides that minor weirdness I thought you looked controlled as phuck in both directions and it's your 1RM. You are allowed a minor form mulligan in my opinion.

Yeah it felt pretty good, but the wiggle is def a power leak. If I can keep the form right I'm hoping for 385 by year's end.

In a powerlifting competition, it’s called sinking or heaving (the bar moving back down before moving up), but in the gym it’s just called bench pressing.
