Good to have ya back Boss. Elbows out with 140’s? Are you f’n kiddin’ me?

oh… and i did 10 of those… not 6:)

but i only have to move the weight a few inches considering my considerably short appendages.

I often wish I were just a couple of inches shorter, with the same thickness. At a few hairs short of six feet I have just long enough arms for them to be a disadvantage in lifting, but not long enough to excel at something like boxing. Oh well.

My arms are long enough that they sure as hell dont help me with benching, but its an obvious advantage in deadlifting. :smiley:

“Can’t you just pretend like it’s hard for you?? lol”

That’s just some damned impressive lifting, big brother.

FNA Meat, that is some great work. I saw something about Dinenzo recently tripling that same weight/band set up, and he is SHW with a 600+ raw bench. Can’t wait to see where your bench lands at SPF worlds.
