Defkid Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 Yep 100kg bench was mean, was also stoked to do 47.5kg dumb bells.my biggest goal will be when i put on the 5kg i want,(naturally) rather than taking the road eveyone at my gym keeps telling me to do.

HarryB Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 Benching 140 x 8 back in 1992 Isn't it funny that the things we hold onto as personal milestones pale in comparison to what we can do now yet they still stand strong in our minds.

On this particular day, it just felt like I was in the zone and bang! After that, I never respected 140 like I did previously...seems to be they way with my lifting...once I got past an obstacle or "barrier", the goals needed resetting and the journey starts all over again!Dont know what I would able to rep 140 for at the moment. I like to do a rep set to flush blood into the muscle to aid in recovery after a heavy chest session and normally hit anything between 15-25reps depending on how much gas I have left in my triceps. Its always easier this way because coming down from bigger weight to 140 the bar feels extremely light as opposed to trying to do big reps at the start of a workout.From memory my best for repping 140 is 35 back in 2004 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
