It was my fault, I was pushing too much and not pulling enough and got a muscle in-ballance.

Since then I am doing alot more pulling and am working back to the pushing.

saw something funny at the gym this morning...

A lad (must have been 15-16) quiet skinny attempted to do Bench Press. Noticed he set the weight too high. Lifted the first rep and lost grip and OUCH! 75kg right on top of him!

That does not make a lot of sense; how many reps are you wanting?

My best single is 220kg, at 105kg bodyweight, (raw, no bench shirt).

Have done 200kg x 5 reps, at the same bodyweight.

140kg @1rep - i'm 19 though so should hit the 200kg by 40!

invisiblekid · 27-10-2006, 01:24 PM

Does anyone include the bar in this? I mean, most of us would use an olympic bar I'd assume, but do people inlcude that 20-25kg on their lifts? If so, I'm into the 100kg plus

if not, I'm stuck in 75kg+ for another month or so :(

**Robsta** · 27-10-2006, 01:40 PM

I include the bar...it's part of the weight, although i prefer a thinner bar to the olympic one, but I include the difference in the weight.....

Yeah, I don't get it when people don't count the bar. I mean, a 20k Olympic doesn't lift itself.
