And solid block set work as well Thanks Beast! Yesterday, I told my wife that I would throw in a 20MM gripper close with my 315lb bench. I explained to her the various blocks sets and TNS and showed her your video of COC #3 TNS that you demolished. She asked if I could do it that way(TNS) and I said NOOOOOOOOOOOO 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

king crusher Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Awesome staying power. Suprised you were hitting 315 at 16yrs old. That's not common, you have a naturally strong bench. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not common, you have a naturally strong bench. Thank you! I started my streak 1/15/84 of paused 315lb when I turned 17 yrs old. I was lifting 315 end of my 16th year as I was always involved in football- back then it was bench, power cleans and squats. My body type is tailor made for squats and bench - my reach is 72" and Iam 73 1/4" tall was 74", LOL. Had a severe ATV accident in early 90's and hurt back and ruptured left pec major so I began doing close grip to avoid stress of pec region but had to stop squats. At an early age 13 - I was told to do 2 sets of back rows for every set of chest press and I adhered to that along with spoon press and skullcrushers. Weights have always been my best friend. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And this story is the reason so many of us have found and do grip. If it wasn’t for my injuries, j wouldn’t even know that grip was a thing! Thank you, lumbar and cervical fusions!

I seem to be ok until I get I the realm of 500 pounds. Then I can feel it’s time to back off or maybe pay the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess I'm happy to be able to hit 3 plates with my 79.5" monkey arms at 73" tall. But that certainly didnt happen as a teen for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubgeezer Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Great video, concise, no BS. Not a lot of posts get that many “likes”, which really tells you something about how respected the two feats are. How many can pull off the combination of those two accomplishments at the Age of 53? Well, there’s um, and of course er, and who else...oh yeah, I forgot eh...Laine Snook, and I’m sure there’s a few others. Wait, is Laine 53 yet? Not sure, I’m sure there’s a number of others... The point to my attempt at humor is to go out of my way to give kudos for a lifetime of commitment to strength. Congratulations! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
climber511 Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 I love seeing videos of people who have just stuck with it year after year with success. There was a discussion on here years ago and it was decided that 50 years old was the start of "Geezerhood" so Good Job Geezer! Here's to many more years of strength! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was nice to check website and see these two posts. You both know how much respect I have for you men- continue to set the standard of class and strength. I know I am an acquired taste but I do put in the work! Thanks again to you both, much appreciated! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After reading you’re post, the only guy i can think of that can do both right now close to that age is Eric Milfeld. And I honestly can’t think of anyone else i know of that can do both at over 50. I know a couple personally that can still kill the bench at over 60. 330lbs+. And know one in his 50’s that benches about 495 raw for 2 or 3 reps. And 10 reps in the black slingshot. (Big J.) But none of them can do the #3 like that. So, Mike and Eric win! 2 hours ago, climber511 said: I love seeing videos of people who have just stuck with it year after year with success.

I bet Eric would still whoop a mf’ers ass if they got cray. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kluv#0 Posted January 16, 2020 Author Share Posted January 16, 2020 Steve Millard(Westslope) & Steve Gardener(Mobsterone) can do both. I think the COC #3 is hardest part of the two even though the bench was paused close grip x 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
