Defection from the Mother Land

[bar-belle]

Damn, sucks to hear about the leg!!!! Is it a reocurring injury?

Have had it since just before Auck Champs in May and it's just starting to get in the way of things now. Really frustrating.

This is fricken awesome 8)

Thanks mate...I think the suit is good for well over 70 but the girl lifting in it has gotta get her head around lifting heavier :shock: and it will be all good.Tried benching to almost max grip too to decrease ROM and it felt ok.

yeah it just makes sense aye. why move the bar further than you need to

I've watched some girls benching on PL TV and their grip is sooo wide with a wicked arch the bar hardly moves yet they bench massive numbers (equipped of course) for body weight. I'm thinking too after nationals I'm gonna ditch the gear for awhile and work on raw strength again for a couple of cycles.
