Hit 335 on closegrip. P.r for me. As stated I’ve hit 365 on bench n new goal is Closegrip 365.
Now that I’m making some gains on my lower body stuff it may be time to see what I can get up to on bench again . Basically been just maintaining w. Lower body focus
i know theres a forum for this from like 2011 but id rather bring it up in a thread everyone is interested in so your forced to look at it
i just got my first slingshot(red) and i was wondering how yall implement it in your training and how you would recommend i include it in my training?
if it matters im following a m-w-f bench routine no assistance
m-5x5 80% to 90% same weight all sets based off of previous friday 5rm
w-5x5 90% based off mondays weight
f-1x5 ramp up to top set of 5, new 5rm if possible
any comments are welcome
That programming looks like Bill Starr intermediate ? Anyways… most ppl use it to overload. So…maybe Friday after your max 5 set hit some heavier numbers with it…
thanks for the reply man
yea bill starr advanced with some tweaks
i think im gonna do just that, hit somesort of an overload if im feeling it, honestly testing it out today i was really surprised on the help it provided throughout the movement. with this tool i think things like bench holds and negatives will really go by the wayside not just for me but for alot of people because theres no better way to functionally overload besides the slingshot
385 slingshot
should be there in the next month or so
Looking good.
Sort of forgot about this thread, but hit 330 for sets of 2, 2, 2, and 5 last week, So definitely got past the 365 point. Got my eyes set on 405 now.
Taken WAY TO DAMN LONG for me to finally get in here. But tonight the stars aligned. 365lbs Bench Press with a comp pause.
Last heavy bench before Ironman. 335/355/365: - YouTube
damn nice pressing,you been making some MAJOR gains on everything man.
I hit 365 in 1985 …oh to be young again. lol

Most excellent.
Sadly my best bench is 330 paused at 190. I’m in. Hopefully going to hit it this year. Managed to get back up to 275x5 all paused and 315x1 afterwards. Heaviest I’ve gone in a minute.
