benchpress plateau

[Dr Squat]

what would some one do with a 90kg dumbell???????

wow

DB rows?

No mate, some of the Polynesian guys use them for flats.

Its a shed gym in south Auckland if someone can verify the name?

There is a big fat ex-inmate who uses them, and he got 220kg's flat bench for 3 at Don Olivers. Weighs 170 and only 6 feet tall but very overweight.

That would be an impressive feat. I find that they start to dominate me if I go too heavy. But if you weigh 170 kg then you would be okay lol. I love watching Branch Warren and Stan Efferding rep big DBs.

INB4 snoopy calls out the doc for a flat dumbell bench comp

He's got me covered.

Have got 75's for 2 :wink:

How many reps can you do with 140kg's flat? I got 13 today

Didn't you get 20 at one point?

I'm not sure bro. 13 reps is impressive.

I have done 45 reps on 100 kg and 10 sets of 10 on 140 kg. I will give 140 for reps a go next week and post it up. :wink:

Yeah bro please do, you are one of the few great benchers we have in NZ.

Give me a goal to beat!!

and 45 reps on 100?! your 2 reps off the American combine record for an offensive linesman last time I checked?

Good lifting

The great benchers compete. Simanu, Best, Gibbs, McCormack, SP (he's really a Kiwi), Lousich. These are the guys we need to recognise. :nod:

I think Stephen Paea did 49. His were even uglier than mine.

I just want to add Greg Turrell and Zane Waapu-Wairama to that list, a few more out there too I'm sure but they popped into my head. I recall another youngish guy hitting 200 in the 83s at Nats, massive chest and arms.

[Dr Squat]

^^^ i think you are referring to Brett Gibbs. I agree with your comments. :-)

Ive had 250 with comp commands out of Greg in training. In a loose super kat too. Im trying to fatten him up for NI Bench in September

Dont forget Jason Gerbich too. Popped up a fast 270 at Auck bench this year. Capable of more too Id say 8)

Across the ditch and in the US/Russia etc 300+ is old news :roll:

Good lord, I suddenly feel rather small and insignificant. However, how many of them can plait their chest hair! That's right.

Aw could have been Ben Wood from Eastside, he hit 200 in the 83s, I think he'd be pretty happy getting called young ish though, probably happier you said he has big chest and arms :pfft:

Just checked the results and yep that's him. How old is he? And I was definitely 'mirin his arms :shifty: Looked massive for 83s.

[tomsammce]

Yea bro, he's a beast for sure !! I think he just likes to wear the shirt cos it's the next step up in tight t-shirts, he'd wear it to the clubs if he was allowed :pfft:

I believe he is late 20s, still plenty more in him yet !!

[snoopy]

13 full proper reps on flat bench with 140kg snoopy??

Lol bs

Hahaha yeah bro!!

You take a weight you cant lift like 220kg's and take it out the rack and hold it then rack it.

Rest 5 mins then do it again.

2 mins after that your nervous system will be primed for a big load and the 140 will feel relativley light, lighter than it would If you hadn't handled the bigger weight.

How many you got? :wink:

[tomsammce]

After reading that I'm just going to go crawl into a corner and rock back and forth. :shock:

[mrsym0r]

whoah

now I feel even weaker about my 80kg 1RM

[Viking Power]

Just read this whole thread sorry I have nothing to add really but F&&Kin laugh..... snoopy when you hit over 305kg for a single bench rep in a comp at anybody weight fat as you call it or at a pencil neck status I'll take a bit more notice of your comments thats the NZ record the world record is over 455kg yeah untested and mutliply bla bla bla ..... but it is not 13 x 140kg and bouching that shit like a tramp I could only imagine :roll: yeah still good for a gym lift but in the powerlifting world it's shit..... let face it :wink:

Inb4fuckyou'llhashbrother.....

but just for the record you bench 155kg at the last coast comp for a single? which was really good raw well done.... you seem to have improved alot over the last 6 - 8 months 140 x 13 would stick you at the 210kg bench mark raw going off the one rep max cal... yeah its not always right so I would look forward to watching you bench 190+ with ease :wink:

And if you do bench 200 + under 90kg raw in a comp that would place you as one of the best pound for pound benchers in NZ.... is this real life :pfft:

not hating just keeping shit real keep training hard.
