I tried for a new PB of 245 as well yesterday and very nearly touched cloth
-
124

Equalled my Deadlift PB yesterday at 240kg but got made look pedestrian by my brother who set an all time PB of 265kg at 100kg BW. Every time I close the gap he gets further away!

All the big power lifters bench like that
-
Don't be disheartened about not being able to bench much mate, we all started somewhere. It took me ages to get to a single 100kg bench but know I can do 4 sets of 10 at a 100. Keep lifting mate
-
Search for "So you think you can bench" on YouTube by EliteFTS. Dave Tate shows how to set up and bench properly. There's a few parts to it but well worth a watch.

Smith Machine is not for benching on. It will only make his shoulders sorer. If your shoulders get sore from bench your form is fcked. Tuck your elbows more and bench like a man!
-
It works, especially on squats mate, try and pull the bar apart (grip tight, pull outwards) helps keep the upper body tight. Also on bench press if you grip the bar tight and pretend you're trying to bend it in half (like superman) it will bring your elbows into a more natural position. I hang onto the bar like my life depends on it regardless of which lift I'm doing. Got some good calluses for an office worker!

No such this as too tight mate. Squeeze that M'fer
-
Does CT squat or deadlift or does he just curl? That's all I've seen him do in his videos.

Got my 4x10 @ 100kg bench out......just Took some grunting on the last 2 reps!
-
Ha, the WTC was unintentional. Was doing something else at the time
-
F*ck the smith machine. Your stabilizer muscles won't grow on that machine and you won't e able to lift as much off the smith machine after it. Just stick to the bench mate. It's a long journey but its worth it. Make sure you're doing tricep extensions WTC to help you push through those tough bench press.

Doesn't matter if its for powerlifting its still relevant. You don't have to setup like that but if you watch the other para it shows you the path the bar should travel
-
A bench press done with good form, if viewed from the side, should travel in an arc, not just straight up and down. You'll never be able to so that on a smith machine. I see your Victor Martinez and raise you a Dave Tate
-
Sorry I just assumed you knew about switch grip for your deads. The order is Double overhand Chalked double overhand Switch grip Chalked switch grip Try and maintain double overhand as long as possible as that will increase your grip quicker. I can only deadlift 130 double over hand, then up to 160 chalked double overhand, switch grip and chalked switch grip the rest of the way. Don't bench on the smith machine mate, it will completely ruin your form. The bar can't travel on its natural path, so you wouldn't go anywhere near a PB. Smith machines are in the same category as gloves in my book.

Nice work on the bench mate! I can remember the first time I benched 100. I think sparks flew out my a55! Ha Got 4x10 @ 100 bench to look forward too this week. Yikes!
-
Fair enough. Just that it was the next comment after my post about OHP made me think that. Would have to be a monster to OHP 3x100! Haha

On military press?
-
My military press seems to be stuck an 85kg 1rm. Managed 7 reps at 70kg on my top set today which is still a 86kg 1rm.

Nice mate. I've swapped from the Olympic bar to SSB for squats to build up core strength. It put 20kg on my deads last time in 2 months. Has already pushed it up from 225 to 240. Hoping for 250 by April.
