new bench comp.....6th@0830

i have a total of 4 days to workout.......im taking the 5th and 6th OFF.....i THINK i can win third place this time......as long as im not ill or anyother BUGS in me.......let the count down begin!!!!!!

Good luck, bro. We're rooting for ya.

sweet!!!!!!!

today has been ALL rest, i will work tomorrow then sleep for about 6 hours and GAME DAY BABY!!!!!! i think i will start at 240, then shoot for 260 and if i can land that on the outdoor bench......the sky is the limit after that...........next time im here i will let yall know the results

it was a different competition today, it went by percent bodylifting type deal.....i only managed to get a 1.64% over bodyweight.......some guys landed a 2.1%!!!!!so i got NOTHING!!!!!a free t-shirt that everyone got......says bench press comp...al udeid air base...blah blah!!!! i only pushed 260!!! i went for 275 but i got nothin.....i did 240 on the outdoor bench and i swore it felt like the highest i COULD go....transfered over to the indoor bench and i got 260....and that was IT.......that was my max LAST MONTH!!!!!i suck, im gonna quit lifting......sniff sniff

You'll do better next time- Stick with the training you're doing, except maybe change to working everything once a week EVERY week. It'll make a world of difference.

perhaps i will keep lifting...im goin to the gym today, and try for 270.......i hope i get it, last strand of hope i have before i BREAK........tootles

Another thing that is key.. especially for those who are younger.. If you think you can't do it, you probably can't.

There's been times when I was doing squats and felt the bar was heavier then normal but whatever.. did them.

Figured out I suck at math and there was an extra 25+ pounds.

Soooo.. maybe you should convince yourself that 270 is really 240.. could be your mind is limiting 30 lbs. Who knows.. just a suggestion. Never plant a seed of doubt.

im not sure what it is, maybe all the people....or im not a morning person, i had a 225 lift COMP style...and i was like WHOA...real heavy..so i said id try for a 240 FIRST lift...so during the warm up, i attempted a 235 lift....and im like i know i can push this for reps on the indoor bench.....so i pushed the 240, and i did the 260 with the same type of PLATES outside on the indoor bench and i pushed it up with a LIL trouble right at the 90 degree mark....the rest was easy.....and i wanted to GO BIG so i tried for 275 when i prolly would have been safer for the 265 lift....oh well...it might be in my head or maybe im TRAUMATIZED of the outdoor bench and weights.......NO ONE LIKES them......

Are you sure everything's legit with the equipment? I mean, if everyone has an issue with the outdoor bench, why not take everything and weigh it just to make sure? You might find out the bars are different weights, or perhaps the numbers on the weights themselves are misleading. Who knows.

GOOD NEWS!!!! since i was bummed out cuz i FAILED two months in a row....i decided to max out indoors, i had lots of water and good food to eat...6 meals today....and i warmed up real nice!!!! i managed to push 270...TWO HUNDRED AND SEVENTY POUNDS!!!!!! im stoked!!! i had SOME doubt in my head, and i really cant explain how as i was PUSHING UP, i remembered a saying i heard from MDA, dont plant a seed of doubt in ur mind...sumthin like that!!! ANYWAY, almost like magic...as i was lifting i guess i PLUCKED the seed out...roots and all.....and UP SHE WENT....u might think im crazy!!!! im just real excited i have a NEW all time best......as far as the weights go....there are TWO different plates....some solid lookin plastic ones and some with handgrips.....ive already weighed some bars...the indoor bars anyway...one is like 40.4lbs and the other 43.7!!! today i used the heavy CHROME one...just to make sure i guess i wont quit lifting afterall...and i did purchase the critical bench program...only bad thing is that i quoted the previous 260 max....SIGH!!!!!! i think my success today goes to MDA.........once again....

p.s i DID try for a 275 lift.....but she didnt go well.....as u can tell

SWEET!

That is awesome dude.. 270.. a new personal best!
