Reverse Grip Bench Press 365 x 4 (PR),Bench Press 315 x 11 (PR for 3rd set)

I'm a little disappointed I didn't get 5-6 reps.I didn't have the strength I had last week.Although this is still the most weight I've done with the reverse grip.I did a second set with 335 x 6(with the reverse grip) that I didn't put on the video.My tri's where pretty dead after 365.I was pretty damn happy to hit 315 x 11 with my normal grip on the third set.

the only thing not impressive about this video is the spotter, look at that guy...im sure if you dropped that on your chest, you would be shit out of luck

@slimbw93 That's what I have the spotter racks for.I have failed with lifts as high as 440 lbs and he has pulled them off of me.Looks can be deceiving!

my bench, as well as other lifts, have been stalling or going down lately. i tried rgbp with light weight and felt weird. felt it a lot in my triceps though. how wide should your grip be? do u bring it lower on your chest than regular bp?ever have problems w grip giving out? thanx.

@secutorclaudius I think reverse grip is best with a wide grip.I go with my ring finger right on the smooth ring on the bar.I bring the bar slightly lower on the chest than a reguar grip bench but only slightly.Reverse grip benching is very dangerous.I would only do them with spotter racks or in a power rack.It's also good to have spotter as well to give a lift off because it's much harder un-racking the bar with the reverse grip.

Beastly bro....4 reps reverse-grip with that much weight is insane. I can't wait to see 4 plates.  Makes me want to get back to the bench...

@BRETZERR That last part went right by me when i read the comment before.When are you going to start up on the bench again?

[secutorclaudius]

@HHH396 thanx, u answered all my questions/ worries, especially about unracking the bar. i'll def get a spotter.

@weightliftingvlog Thank you! I've been lifting steady for about 16 yrs.

[weightliftingvlog]

yikes, i wish i was that strong, how long have you been bench pressing? keep up the excellent work!

[HHH396]

@BRETZERR Thanks a lot Randy! I'll tell you what though,it gets pretty scary as the weights get higher.I never use to like these.I would try them and say nope those aren't for me but this this time around they feel good.I'll probably do them for a week or two then i'll go back to my reg grip.
