What on earth  are you talking about, bro? Trolling?  Never mind, don’t care.

By the way, good job.....  

Anywaaayyyyy..... thanks for the explanation.....as I don’t know anything about sling shots, nor was I comparing anyone. Was asking what it gives the lifter and why it’s used........🤦‍♂️

mmhmm. Get one. Then do 5 reps with 3 plates. Then we can compare weeny’s.

Not raw obviously. But hey? The SS hasn’t been getting much play from me these days. Total weight is 319

And by the way.... was my comment construed by you are “comparing” or downplay of your lift? Because I didn’t think so, not in the slightest. It was a legit question on my ignorance on what those contraptions are for. So, if you took it that way (maybe because I didn’t say atta boy) then you are off base on your thinking that. Again NICE LIFTING! 🥴

Ok, on that note.... I’m out. Asked a simple question and you got offended. Sorry.... not playing this little game.

I “construed” it based off you’re past relentless quests to justify to yourself why no one is stronger than you. 

Btw I’m locked in all cozy on the bed in moccasins and my charger plugged in. Keep it up.

Good set, Tommy! Come on post your sets and reps so we can compare notes!

Thanks man!

Sticking to my guns in not posting my workouts, I won’t be posting my workouts here.

im glad to drop a video here and there. And partake in blasphemous exchanges, since I mentioned talking smack in the opening post... And encourage others. But you guys already know what I’m doing. Lots of volume at around 70%. with the occasional ego day on the bench.

fwiw, while I’m here I’ll mention that my previous best reps on 3 plates in the SS was only 2 reps. And that same week my raw max was 310.

@Tommy J. also. (Tried linking your vid but couldn’t.) Strong work with the slingshot guys. I have the red one and haven’t used it in a while. I definitely plan to bust it out once my regular press strength is back

Looks like your right? Side (left in video) is lagging a bit behind in this video and the last. Has it always been that way or was there a shoulder injury at one point?

That is a crazy wide grip, no way could I take that grip in my advancing age lmao

I think you're right. We should move to disallow his cheater wide grip at the next Illuminati meeting.

Agreed. But if he really is on a weight loss plan and his strength takes a proportionate hit, I move to allow him into our inner circle of bench press domination, that is we let him join the race.

I take a super close grip for a bigger guy. I hurt my shoulder a couple times when I went wider
