Pull that collar down and work on speed. Be sure to hit tris with heavy lockouts and 4-5 board. It'll take more to touch, but you'll get a huge drive off.

Thanks irondawg50

I will definitely work on getting the collar down. I am going to start reverse band presses next weekend, that should really help with blasting off the chest and into the triceps.

Thanks & Merry Christmas!

[benchpressgorilla]

Thanks domagoj1975

There is nothing like busting a ton of blood vessels when benching Heavy.

OHHHHHH What a RUSH!!!!!!!!!

[bussrph490]

Congrats on your lifts. They both look very strong. 550 is just around the corner. Were you wearing a Fury shirt?

[benchpressgorilla]

Thanks bssurph490

I really would like get 550 this spring.

I have a size smaller shirt I just have to get 550 to touch in.

Yes I wear Titan Fury shirts!

[irondawg50]

We gotta get that collar down some. Lot more to get out of that shirt. I'd like to see the collar down more with 530-40 on there. Try it.

[benchpressgorilla]

Thats a great idea irondawg.

On my third attempt I did try 530, but it went halfway and that was all she wrote. I will definitely work on it. I plan on working reverse band bench presses hard before my next equipped meet!

[PWRLFTR242]

NICEEEEE!!

[benchpressgorilla]

Thanks PWRLFTR242

Working hard and hoping for more this spring!

550 and beyond here I come!

[HHH396]

That's awesome man!Like creatine said not many guys got double bodyweight raw bench,that's crazy!

[benchpressgorilla]

Thanks HHH

I appreciate the comments.

Yes I agree very few can do a 2x bodyweight bench, but I really want to get to a 600 lb shirted bench. That would give me a shot at the IPF World Bench Press Champioship!

[benchpressgorilla]

Thanks creatine1

I appreciate the positive feedback.
