Building My Bench to 405lbs

I ordered the sling shot last week, so I will let you guys know how it goes over the next few weeks.

Awesome, great advice. [/quote]

Haha good work!

Used the slingshot for the first time ever today, and I was blown away. I pressed 385 lbs, down and straight back up. Before it was all that I could take to get that press up raw, almost needed assistance. I was going to go for more, but did not have a spotter so I decided to stay safe, and keep with the same weight.

A couple other lifts that surprised me was I was able to get 315 lbs for 8 reps, where I am usually at 4 reps raw with no spot. I would pratice with 295lbs for a split of 4 seconds resting on my chest, today I got that same lift at 315lbs.

I then grabbed some close grips for triceps, which I usually do 225lbs for 6-7, today I hit 265lbs for 6 reps. Overall great investment for $50. Thanks to the members!

If it matters, I tipped the scales this morning at 189 lbs.

^^ Very cool! keep at it and soon you’ll be smashing that 405 bench
