eh around 38-40sec.. maybe it just a shrug type deal?
haha yea maybe you'll have to go to that extreme.

also wldnt those weights be much lower to the ground, than the reg oly weights?... thus making the lift that much harder

yeah its a bit harder since they lay deeper but i sumo'd quite wide to counter this. i am not the longest kid either. around 5'11 or 6'0. dunno for sure, its 181cm.

e: its good tho since i rep quite 5-10kg more on meets with normal bars and weights which makes me wonder if i can hit place 3 or even 2 next time.

its easier to skyrocket deadlifts than bench tho ^^

just do 1*2 and reset sets and you will gain lots of power @ deadlifts. nice bp, was good.

thanks. Nice vid. Also. Strong!

I am impressed tbh... little pissed u bench about the same as me, but impressed.

Haha. I'm so tiny tho. Ur huge.. I've never really trained for volume always low reps on bench.
How much can u rep 225?

I wish i would have started benching that wide. Much more power in that and now im trying to play catch up.

I recently around December started benching that wide and my bench has sky rocketed. So much more power
My cousin was and I tried it and I never went back
Loved it

Very good bench pressing video dude congratulations on the lift

And I have to say I'm pretty much on the same boat than you two... My squat has always been fucked up, although I'ts been getting better since some weeks ago I shifted into front squats...

I think that I'll be uploading some videos a friend of mine recorded last week in which I max 1 flat bp with about 275-280 lbs and some front squats as well if I can make a new one

Around 8 or so I reckon?

If you want to know your max, and you did 9 reps with 100 kgs, I guess It's gotta be between 120 and 135-140 kgs. Depending on how good you are taking those heavy one rep sets...

I tried to max the other day on front squat as well btw (I had never dared before) and did 2 reps with 120 kgs... I know it's a shame, but well..They're getting better. And after that and some back squat I maxed 2 x 180 kgs (200 lbs) @ deadlift. I think I could get a little more if done fresh, without squatting before, but whatever.

135 with luck i'd rather say 130 tho. it really depends on the quality and volume of the warm-up and state of mind.

Well, I guess that also goes with your type of training. I suggested a weight a little above mine because I had never tried to max on bp before I did that, and 45sz said that he's used to doing low reps sets, and maxing, so I guess he can handle heavy sets way better than me... I might be wrong, of course.
