Me back in December of '04 if I recall correctly, the weight on the bar is 510 (those are 100lb plates not 45s) and this was my second attempt bench (lifting in the 220 class at the time). I passed on my third but I did go on to get 2 out of 3 Deadlifts (including a PR) x-rays were negative, but I hurt like hell for a few weeks.

  • suicide grip

  • @psamsplace

    false. look at the video.

  • Wow man, terminal velocity to the chest. You have some balls to follow through with the next attempt man.

  • Actually, I DIDN'T take the next attempt. I did take my deadlifts though. I got the 510 at my next meet (05 Nationals in Killeen)

  • how were your thumbs placed? did you have a grip on the bar or did you just push without thumbs?

    I am glad you were fine after that bad accident!

  • Thumbs were around the bar. Actually the USAPL does not even allow a thumbless grip (or didn't at the time) The bar just got a little low on me, and my thumbs weren't strong enough to keep it from rolling at the particular angle it was rolling at (sprained the HELL out of one of them)
