Finally got back to 500 on my close grip bench…

Like a dipchit I didn’t record it but I was able to tie my existing PR. It felt so good, it’s been a long two and a half years since covid shut the gyms down. The whole thing got me to thinking that we should do an incentive thread for personal best lifts set by a certain date to help us all get back to making it bros. All opinions are welcome, any takers? Personally I want to be at 600 by New Years, it’s a tall task but it’s what I’m going to shoot for.

I thought I was cool for repping 315 for 4 at 185 bw. Can't imagine doing a 5 plate bench ever in my life, srs.

That’s a very respectable lift bro, to put it in perspective I hit 5 bills at 6’8 300 lbs. I think your pr is right on par with mine, repped

Edit: proof of 5 bills

Fukkin A op going from 500-600 in 7 months is a very tall order. Gonna have to blast off into outer space for that one if you catch my drift.

Very surprised you didn't get some home gym gear during covid I would expect being on a ranch you'd not want to drive into town for gym in the first place. Impressed you got it back so quickly repped for the mirins.

I think I’m nearing the peak of my genetic potential so I’m considering jumping on the juice but I have no source to do so. I did the home gym thing a bit but it’s just not for me. There’s a small town of 400 7 miles from me so it’s not a big deal to just use the gym there.
