365 bench at 178 lb.



Was ugly as hell but at least I didn't get pinned


Need to get more comfortable with heavier weights, though. My wrists sort of buckled and I quickly corrected but the weight stalled out and starting going back down when I did. Had to kick the leg drive into full blown ass-of-the-bench mode to lock out the rep.


Still pretty happy with it, this is my lifetime PR and I've hit it before but I was 15 lb. heavier.

Yeah that happens a lot for me. The initial leg drive gets it off the chest but I stall at the midpoint, and if I can't grind it out I usually have to resort to lifting the butt to get more muscles involved. This was sort of an egregious example since I screwed up my bar path. Arms went crazy for a second.

Nice lift brah. 1 heavy single a week around 95-97% 1rm got me a lot stronger on my bench. You want it close to max but you don't want to have any sticking points either. You want to get it smooth with good technique. Then go on with your normal set and rep work. But really allows you to work on technique under heavy load and have better coordination with the heavy weights. Dont necessarily want to do that all the time. But for a few weeks before going for a pr... Just my experience.

That chest bounce looked painful. Mirin pushing past the sticking point though. I’ve done the ass off the bench to avoid being pinned thing before.

Not sure if srs, what's the point in maxing? Yes, sometimes your form fails or things go wrong on max lifts, it was ugly.

Didn't hurt at all, didn't even feel it. That's not even close to a bounce in my opinion, just not super well controlled in the hole

That's actually my all time best (like when I was 25). I kind of wish I had kept going to at least see if I could have eventually hit 405.

I weighed a fair bit more than you (north of 200) though.

I would love to hit 405 one day but I get the feeling I'd need to either celltech or bulk up.

The weight went up and sometimes that's what you need to do. Try working on pausing to help with that mid drive stick point. Also, I noticed the wraps and your wrist still buckled. Are you wrapping them high/tight enough?

They're hella tight but probably could go up further. I tend to put them where PL'ing comps require. moving them up into the palm is typically not allowed.


I think the issue really started when my elbows flared quickly. My wrists were no longer directly over the elbows and caused the buckling.
