All presses were about an inch from chest just sitting there hovering in my mind I was saying f*ck you touch you prick...I was trying to pull in with out lossing tightness but no joy, so after a chat with Damo next week seem I am a fairly close grip bencher we are going to take the grip out a bit and try again, on the bright side they are all coming up ok.

week 8 off 14

Coast Barbell

Unfortunally I have had to put super kat away - fact is my raw strength is not there too use it yet, so I have borrowed a loose 48 F6 club shirt for the next two comps cheers Damo and Rach 8)

There is a flip side have decided after speaking with Damo to take grip right out near max from my closer grip benching sytles which allows a cut in range off motion going forward it won't pay off in the next couple comps strength and number wise but hopefully next year I should see some returns for it.

Bench

1 x 5 @ 60

1 x 5 @ 80

1 x 5 @ 100

1 x 5 @ 120

add 48 F6

1 x 1 @ 140 3 board

1 x 1 @ 140 2 board

1 x 1 @ 140 1 Board

4 x 1 @ 160 all touched but missed one set due to being way out off line for me but tonight was just mucking around with set up and hand spacing so cheers CBC for the help.

extra work, triceps, shoulders, forearms,

Done.

[M.T]

I tried that decreased ROM bullcrap fucked my shoulder up BUT did feel snappy and fast, mind you wasn't doing much weight on the 1st 3 weeks of 5x5 so moved back in for now but keen to try it out properly once all is fixed.

Good work Mighty VP

I wouldnt recommend it (max grip) for raw benching full time. Raw, I think you should bring it in to a med wide position...say for the sake needing an example, middle finger on the rings. If you have long arms (and in some cases like Panzer and I) you can raw bench at max grip with good strength (we are good for 160 raw out wide).

We also tend to train our raw bench with a variety of grips along with designated close grip sessions.

Hey bro yeah I'm hearing ya mate I'm no albatross like Damo and Panzer and even RM :pfft: :pfft: but it does put alot off pressure on shoulders but I find it only when taking out off the racks for set up due to the fact its almost a front raise lying down to get it out to set up so training partner or spotter is a must for anything over 70% off 1 rep max other wise shoulder injury is bound to catch up sooner or later, but yeah short movement thats great its just a matter off getting everything else right for me the arch while still having leg drive which I lost last night but I felt tighter it'll come right soon.

But good call to mix up grips helps over all benching train hard bro and smart :wink:

VP

[Big john]

2023, is the year i finally catch up to benching with you big Bawz's :grin:

[M.T]

Chur boys my usual stance it what you mentioned Steak middle finger on rings sometimes pinky depending on the pain using more triceps. Always keen to change things up though Squats are the same have tried many different variations being still very new to the game but think I have found my groove now.

You tanks down for BBRO in Nov right? be good to catch up.
