Final one. I think I win my category by default. Not really satisfying but I'm still happy with my lifts. The competition has given me some goals to set 'til this point so I'm even further than where I wanted to be!

strong tight pants :?

Yeah, my girlfriend was laughing that you could see my dick. I have asked Santa for new pants for Christmas...

As for the suicide grip, I never used to, but then Pete told me to (can't remember why) and I started to and got used to it. The bar will never roll out.

Because the bar sits on the top of my palm just below my fingers. My fingers cup the bar and my hand is on a slightly downward angle. Also, if I ever thought that I were to go heavy enough for that possibility, I'd be smart enough to have a spotter. But just because there's no thumb, it doesn't make it that different IMO. You don't bench with your hands pronated.

Yes you can bench with your hands pronated... have you never heard of reverse grip bench presses. :P

I do agree that the suicide grip makes power transfer in the bench press feel more natural.. because it allows better alignment of the forearms and wrists... but u gotta be careful man, only takes one slip and you've got a heavy bar bouncing off your chest. haha happened to me with 120kg on closegrip a few years a go (and just recently again but in a smith machine and not because of a suicide grip). not fun!

Pronated means facedown. I can't really imagine that...

I can imagine it happening with close grip, because your hand tends to bend back a little more. But I control the negative more on close grip as opposed to regular bench for that reason.

I understand your guys concern/hunger to prove others wrong. But I'm not silly.

Lol! Like I said, I tilt my hands back, but not too far back. His hands were on a diagonal.

If I make a mistake, I will apologize to you guys. But let me make my own mistakes, even if it is risky :)

Fair enough. Many big fellas use the suicide grip too so as long as you're very very strict with the technique you may never make a mistake. I've seen vids of grapefruit man Kai bench 5 plates per side with that grip.

Dude's a monster.

Yeah, well I'm pretty sure my negative is well controlled. It's just once I start reaching failure, the pressing motion itself can get wonky.

tried this the other day and felt i could feel my chest working a bit more, what are your thoughts suas? did u notice much of a diff when u changed?

Yeah, it's hard to explain, eh? I feel the weight is kinda like, more centered above the pecs? But as IDW said, it also can help with more power so that could be part of it.

TH, strong as bench bro! I am admiring.

I went in this morning to do the three lifts.

I did bench first up, was feeling good and ready to do 140kg for 8. I did one set with 130kg first did 9 reps on that.. but then when I set up for 140kg I noticed my girlfriend's camera was playing up. It kept asking me to format the memory card... damn I got pissed off. After that I did a few more light exercises for chest and left the gym. Turns out the camera did record my lift properly... so I'll go back this afternoon and try and catch the rest of the lifts and attempt a 140kg for 8 on the bench.

Anyway... here's the vid for my 130kg

It was a bit easier than I thought it would be... didn't really need to let out that roar. lol

Weighed in at 88.4kg this morning.
