1 Rep Bench press Vid

[lemon]

Just wanted to practice for the required standard bench press record for my weight and age class.

Although the pause looks short it felt like ages! Will have to work on extending my pause.

But I believe no one holds that weight class, age class record yet so unless someone else can better me. I just did it Raw I believe?

Tempted to neg for that gay fucking song, apart from that sick! Awesome power to weight ratio Brah!

Like a boss :clap: Well done Lemon. Good form.

What TWL said bro, that's really good for your bodyweight.

I reckon that pause was fine, it just needs to be motionless before they'll call the press. Only small thing I'd pick on is not pausing at the lockout too (they'll wait for you to pause, and then call "rack"), but that was probably more the spotter's bad for grabbing it than your fault.

Either way bro, really nice bench :clap:

Haha yeh I intially had a different song but couldn't resist having a song regarding "power" as the background music.

Yeh I noticed my mate helped rack too early for a comp lift, although I'm confident I could have held it out myself until the "rack" is called.

Would like to get some work with a bench shirt on to get a 2/1 ratio.

Pretty sure it was 145?

[hjp]

Strong bench man!! And yeh that jnr record in the 83's is up for grabs, they got reset last year with the weight class changes. Again, real strong benching! Impressive as raw benching

I don't know if it says in the vid but stupid iPad won't play it grrrr....how much do you weigh?

Strong strength to bodyweight ratio times height.

Good lift. Not convinced about your weight though.... fairly tall and you don't look string bean enough to be 81. But props, impressive bench.

Strong strength to bodyweight ratio times height.

Strong strength to bodyweight ratio times height.

I was also thinking this, good job man awesome bench! :clap:

[lemon]

Cheers guys. Although the sacrafises made to have such a power to weight ratio would not be appreciated by many! It will change in future I promise.

It was 145kg lol, the 2.5kg wasn't shown in the vid very clearly but being aware of it now you should see it.

I don't know if it says in the vid but stupid iPad won't play it grrrr....how much do you weigh?

Height is 6'2ish

Weight fluctuates between 80-82

Good lift. Not convinced about your weight though.... fairly tall and you don't look string bean enough to be 81. But props, impressive bench.

The thing you dont see in the vid is my skinny legs. I have tiny ankles and calves and my quads are definitely out of proportion to my upper body. I will fix this once I've had a decent attempt at setting a NZ record (whether I get it or not). But in order to keep my weight down, I have to make sacrafises.

I meant 150 not far off lol
