Back to flat bench

 Starting to put the work in on my bench, to get back on track towards my goals of 170/180kg. Slacking a little, as this is the first time I've flat benched heavy, since hurting my shoulder. Slightly off form as a result, but 155 is still pretty good as a last set one rep max. Before my injury I was handling 160 with ease, so I'm a little off form as I say, but seeming as I haven't benched properly for roughly 5-6weeks, I can't complain. But then I put the work in after my lil playaround. Taking it to 130kg. Did very well on this weight, going far beyond expectations getting 3 sets of 4reps. I finished off on 100kg (not in the videos below as these will be part of my Christmas special themed episodes coming in December). With a set of 10reps and 2 sets of 7reps. #VIKING #POWERLIFTER #INKED #DOYOUEVENLIFT #INKEDMUSCLE #SWOLE #BODYBUILDING #STRONG #BENCHPRESS #LIFTHEAVYSHIT #SQUAT #POWERLIFTING #STRONG #BEASTMODE #STRONGMAN #DEADLIFT #ALPHA #MUSCLE #GAINS #WEIGHTLIFTING #MOTIVATION

Bench Press Workout - 4th may 2021

 Been painting the gym for the last 4days straight, and when your nakkered and aching, bench press is always there to catch you lol

A very easy and simple workout on bench today as I'm completely drained from the last few days, my body was screaming 😱 GET OF THE WEIGHTS YOU WEE EEJIT 😱 But the grind continues and those who fall behind are left behind.

So an easy plqyaround to start with on heavy-ish weights

Warming up on 90kg, then 110kg

Before doing 

120kg, 130kg and 140kg to finish

Then I took it down and did some volume on 120kg for reps, but this weight didn't feel good. I was doing short reps of the chest to increase the burn and focus on explosive power..... but meh was too tired to make anything of it, so went down to 90kg instead and did 3 volume sets and 1 set of slow positives and negatives 

Then a quick blast on 70kg proved how nakkered I was as I hardly did any.

So overall, not much, but something is always better than nothing

Will Barotti -Heaviest Bench Press of ALL TIME!!

 In late June, 35-year-old Will Barotti made a jaw-dropping multiply equipped bench press of 1,105 pounds (501.2kg) and the biggest bench in history almost flew under the radar. Barotti doesn’t have an Instagram or a Reddit account. We only caught the video in a small Facebook group of about 800 members with the caption, “Congratulations Will Barotti all time world record bench press holder. The most weight ever pressed by anyone…ever! 1,105 POUNDS!!!”

Made at a Metal Militia Powerlifting Federation meet, that bench press is not only three pounds over Tiny Meeker’s six-year-old record of 1,102 pounds, and it’s not only 335 pounds over Julius Maddox’s raw bench press world record of 770lb/350kg — it’s heavier than the heaviest deadlift ever made.

Julis Maddox Raw Brnch Press World Record 355kg 782.6lb

 ew raw bench press record derby julius Maddox on 21st february 2021, with 355kg (782.6lb) On February 21, 2021, the Hybrid Showdown meet in Miami, FL became the site where powerlifting history was made. Powerlifter Julius Maddox has extended the raw bench press all-time world record — again — by lifting 355 kilograms (782.6 pounds). Going into that meet in South Florida, Maddox already held the world record with a lift of 349.2 kilograms (770 pounds), which he set at the 2020 Arnold Sports Festival. The Kentucky native was building towards this lift ever since he hit 350 kilograms (771 pounds) in February 2020.  The Hybrid Showdown is sanctioned by the World Raw Powerlifting Federation (WRPF). Standing at six feet, three inches tall, Maddox weighed in at 447 pounds (or 203 kilograms). He was in the final flight of the meet, which included Dan Bell and Jon Call (aka Jujimufu). He started this meet with an opening bench press of 330 kilograms (727 pounds), which went up rather easily. He then took the new world record on his second attempt. Skipping his final attempt and going for the big lift on attempt number two is a classic Maddox move. This is incredible feat is another step for Maddox toward his ultimate goal of bench-pressing 800 pounds (362.8 kilograms) raw. He attempted this milestone in June of 2020 but ultimately failed in part due to a controversial misload of the weight by the spotters assisting in the meet. According to Maddox, the next time he will take a shot at 800 will be on June 10, 2021, in Chicago, IL. Adding 12 pounds to his already other-worldly previous record should serve as a nice confidence-booster as his next 800-pound bench press attempt nears.  The Hybrid meet was streamed live on Hybrid Performance’s Twitch channel and should be available for replay if you follow the channel. As for Maddox, he sent BarBend an exclusive message after his latest world record: “Resistance is necessary in order to reach greatness.”

Todays Plan for Chest

So I've been up since just before dawn, and one of the advantages of waking early is that it gives you quite time to think and plan without the normal distractions of the day.

I found myself dedicating some of this time to planning what I hope to be a really hard but fun bench press session.

I'm now fully into my light phase and so this workout will feel very fresh to what I have done in the last few months.

My plan is start working my way up steadily to 110kg 242lb which when I reach I will attempt to lift for as many reps as poss. The long term target is 16reps, which on this weight is really quite achievable and once achieved a new target will be set.

However I doubt that will be achieved today and so, depending how mh body reacts to the weight, my plan is to do 3 max rep sets on 110kg, and then a breakdown series of sets.

As my breakdowns, the weights I choose will mostly likely be influenced by the weights on the bar. Almost certainly one also chooses the path of least effort under such circumstances so if the first set could be 100kg or 90kg but it matters very little, as my intention is to break the workout down until I can no longer lift at all.

Hahah safety bar needs to get ready as this is going to hurt!!

NB it's about-5°c in my home gym atm lol so warmups deffo are a requirement
