r/Bench_Squats_Deadlift

Touch and go 285lbs for 8reps.
This was an RPE8 for me that last rep was a little rough, Any advice or feedback is welcomed. If you say I need a spotter just don’t comment hahaha!

Took this in my living room. I only started lifting 6 months ago. Does my form look ok?

475lb single with an 18s pause (timed to Chester Bennington’s long scream from Given Up) followed by an AMRAP set where I took 255lb for a ride and got 30. That shit felt terrible.

I’ve started adding in weighted dips once a week on my lower intensity bench day (I bench twice per week at the moment) and they’ve been killer with helping to break through plateaus when I’m stuck.

This was a quick set of 5 with 90lb of weight in addition to my own BW of 275lb.

Was a grind but got it in the end

Stay ‘til the end to hear my 11 year old get amped.

Better get 400+ at meet in July

Sorry for junky video quality.

Been incorporating more AMRAP sets after my max effort working sets lately. Today was my second bench day of the week, stripped the weight down to 275 after hitting my top set of 465 for a single and went at it.

I critiqued my form with foot position

Did 3x6@430lbs, been working on mobility a lot more this past cycle and this is the best my 430 has moved!!

405x1 and 365x2

My old account got hacked and then banned and Reddit support isn’t a whole lot of help, so posting from a new account.

I had set a goal of benching 500lb by the end of this year, ended up hitting it at the beginning of March. This successful lift was preceded by a failed attempt 7 minutes earlier and 4 failed attempts the week prior, so this attempt was just pure spite and grit that helped me get it.

Working on controlling the weight.

250 single (175 Body weight). Refer to my previous video where my ass came wayyy up on my 275 triples. I know it’s not perfect, but progress is being made 💪🏻

Thoughts?
