To be fair, i think he’s pretty damn strong at other stuff too.
Still hobbit-sized though.

No video, but these were no more difficult than 100 last week. Felt a little better, actually.
44s were all over the place, not the pretties PR set.

Good pressing, sir, even if you were laying down.

I always talk about how I hate the flat bench, but I am starting not to hate it. I think this is the first time in a very long time I have trained it with a purpose. It always used to bother my shoulders when it got too heavy, but spending a lot of time on incline and widening my grip seems to have solved that.

Yep. I hear you. It was never an issue for me a few years back, but since I’ve sorted my shoulders out recently, it’s never felt comfortable anymore, and the shoulders were starting to complain when doing it. No hint of an issue with Overhead.
Might throw in some DB incline instead of flat benching for a while.

Here are some things. Re-tooling a little bit, but finding a stance and grip that I like, as long as it doesn’t bother my elbows too much over time.

Just work today, no heroics. Rep PR is just because I never tried to rep it before. Probably could have done one or two more, but I was bracing so hard that I started to get light headed, so stopped.

Another “meh” day on the bench, but okay, still no spotter, so no reason to push it. Incline was occupied, so did a little on the flat DB bench. Which I PRed. Coulda done the 50s had I known better, but this was the first time in a very long time.

A fun day today, where my belt exploded down in the hole with 145 on my back (no, this is not a story about your mum). Metal parts flying like shrapnel. I recovered without much trouble, but it otherwise ruined the session. Fine, I guess I will be well rested for next time.

Yes, I did have to endure some jokes of that nature.
To be fair, my morning weight is now ranging somewhere between 90 and 91 kilo, which is the biggest I have ever been.

Ha, been keeping that quiet haven’t you tubby.
I would say that makes your pressing less impressive, but I’m currently 90kg and nowhere near your pressing yet, still at least I’m not exploding my belt
