I dont know right now, but I bench 405 for 4 right now and I am pushing for 1 more rep each month to get to 9 reps at 405lbs. I am training for a contest in July and I want to go for 500lbs. If it is the LORDS will, I will not it out and give GOD the Glory!!
@mitch20003 THANK YOU FOR ASKING ME. I AM HONORED. I USE THE METHOD OF PERCENTAGE TRAINING. FOR 10 WEEKS WORKOUT WITH 65% OF YOUR 1 REP MAX FOR 2 WEEKS FOR 4 SETS FOR 5 REPS. THEN GO TO 70% FOR 2 WEEKS FOR 3 SETS REPS OF 4. THEN 75% 1 WEEK FOR 3 SET OF 3 REPS. THEN 80% FOR 3 SETS OF 2 REPS. THEN REPEAT THE CYCLE FOR 5 WEEKS AGAIN! TRY IT AND LET ME KNOW HOW YOU DO. MAY THE LORD BLESS YOU AND KEEP YOU SAFE AND PROSPER IN YOU TRAINING PEACE AND GOD BLESS YOU.
I got it a place called steve and barrys. they sold all the college team stuff $9.98 plus stuff like these T-shirts. They closed the store here in Buffalo at the galeria mall but maybe they have stores else where. Google them you might find one.
Let me know if you find one. I would love to order something else from them.
Joe the videos inspire me to get into some decent training rather than just routine fitness. Approaching 58 years of age I did a 275 lb. 40-degree incline (no arch) just the other day with some power left at a weight of 240 lbs. I am 6.3 and my arm span is over 6.5 ½ so I have a long way to push but the inspiration I received from your video has really helped me. My goal is a 300 pound 40-degree incline before 60 years of age.
@Weh1921 Thank You! And I only hope and pray that I can lift like you when I turn 58 & 60 years of age. I'm inspired by you!!!!! So please let me know how your training goes. I use the 5 pound a week approach for 6 weeks. I add 5lbs a week for 6 weeks to my to bench until I plateau at a 1 rep max and then I work with 70% of that weight until I can do at least 6-8 reps then I start over again adding 5 pounds a week. I pray that you will be successful in your training and stay strong & healthy.
Joe- I am 57 yars of age weigh about 240 at 6.3 and can 40 degree incline 245x3 for several sets in strict form. Any suggestions to help me increase this weight. I have never used any steriod or growth hormone but have creatine from time to time.
@Weh1921 THANK YOU! I hope to be strong like you when I'm 60! GOD BLESS YOU! Try adding 5lbs a week to your bench for 6 weeks until you plateau at a one rep max. Then workout with 70% of your 1 rep max until you can rep it for 5 good reps. Then start the cycle over again and let me know how your training goes. I pray that you hit your goal by your next Birthday! May the Lord keep you strong and healthy for many more years. PEACE AND GOD BLESS YOU!!
Thank you for your comment I appreciate it. I have been using that grip for over 20 years with no incidents thank you JESUS! So I cant do the other grip anymore because it does not feel comfortable. But I thank you for the wise advice. PEACE AND GOD BLESS!!
308lbs Raw masters 40-44 age group. I weighed in at 290lbs. The record was 460lbs with a shirt and after talking with the meet director he said if I wanted to go for the record I could. So JESUS & I Benched Raw & broke a record set by someone who used a shirt. The video is up now, but it is dark. I'm trying to figure out if I can edit a video and make it lighter but I don't know how. THANKS AND GOD BLESS!!!
Few can wear that shirt
