benchpress

[powerman]

hi all
i have not done much training since the worlds last month,just ticking over really,and i will start after christmas.so its a perfect time to mess about and play.so i have borrowed a fury bench shirt,today was my second time trying it.i benched up to 180kg raw then put on the shirt which is loose ish.WOW these things are crazy,done 240kg down to 1 board and pressed out easy.who knows what i could get with a few weeks training.

Stick with it and see. I seem to remember lifting out 215k for you last month and you pressed it pretty easily raw. Some of the top guys can get up to 100kg out of a single=ply bench shirt once they have learnt how to use it and developed their lockout (won't happen overnight and I don't know any Brits who get that much though, except perhaps AJ - not sure). I think you could bench something huge if you learn how to use a shirt properly.

The Fury/F6 is a great shirt. They don't last very long for me, one competition and I'd have to send it back because it had blewn. After about the 5th shirt, Pullums sent me a Katana. The Katana is better again, master using a Katana and you could easily get up to approaching the 300kg mark.

so could you be the 2nd man in history to bench 300k within the WDFPF and maybe the uk??????????

that'd be cool. best of luck. obviously you've a talent for benching.
