Today I did regular bench 315 lbs x 7, 370 lbs x 1, then Incline Tri Extensions, and then close-grip bench presses 225 lbs x 5, 315 lbs x 1, 345 lbs x 1.

  • I agree 100% bro...thanks for the comment.

  • Moving your hands in more only puts unnecessary stress on both the shoulders and wrists Sundevil2027. I benched 335lbs by senior year in High School at a weight of only 169lbs, and was religious about performing close grip bench presses 72 hours after my chest / back workout. Brett your form is perfect, keep up the GREAT WORK!

  • Just a quick update...that really close-grip bench (i.e. 8" apart), I posted a few vid's...one with 340 lbs and another with 360 lbs. Check them out...they weren't any harder than my normal 14" grip.

  • On your first comment you told me that if I brought my hands in one hand space more I would be lucky to do 3 plates. I moved my hands in one hand space and did 3 plates easy. I am not interested in doing close-grips with my thumbs touching like you...there is no reason to do that.

    Thanks for watching anyway, but I have wasted enough time on you...

  • ..the beer is on its way with a close grip..once again..your not going in at all..let me explain my reasoning..im 6'5" 255# and still. put my hands closer .actually while i did close grips yesterday ..my thumbs were close enough to touch..how about yours..you can not do this with a weight of 315..." a true " close grip my friend

  • Okay...today I managed 370 lbs...I am going to take a break from this for a few weeks, but not too bad for a few days of lifting!

  • Hey buddy...I just did 365 lbs this morning...it's posted. Are you backing out on the beer? Yeah...that's what I thought...

  • What are you talking about, I lie? You are making no sense...

    The video of me doing 345 lbs was 4 months ago, the video of me doing 360 lbs was today.

    Trust me, when I say I can do something, I do it and I have no problem posting the proof.

    Which reminds me, I am in the middle of posting my "really" close-grip bench with 3 plates just to show you I can do it. It was just as easy as my normal close-grip, but it just hurts my wrists (same power though).

    Check out the vid...
