Pretty sure I put 20 of the 35 I lost back on. That reminds me, I’ve got leftover pizza. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Spokesman normally addresses all questions. But yeah, I’m Mini Mike. Current bodyweight 235. I ballooned up to 247 last year to squat 563. Best lifts relative to body weight were done when I was 21: in the 181 class I benched 314 and deadlifted 617. Only drugs I’ve ever used are alcohol, caffeine, and psychedelic mushrooms. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The choice to do a set of 12 was only because that was the PR I had the best chance of breaking. I did feel a little self conscious about posting it right after your own bad ass set of 12. But you’ll be improving a lot more on your set than I will on mine!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate you being upfront about that. Takes a big man. Funny side note - I tried Tommy's Slingshot and discovered it made me weaker... probably a learning curve thing, in part. But I suspect guys that flair out their elbows like me may not get as much out of those gizmos. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I suspect guys that flair out their elbows like me may not get as much out of those gizmos. Definitely a learning curve. Once I've used my red one a few times, I get about a 10-15% bump at most. The black one let's me overload 20-25%, but it takes several sessions for me to find a groove with it. There's one out there now, I think it's called the Kraken, that supposedly gives you as much or more as the strongest bench shirts out there. Like 50 - 70% more than raw. If you go on their website, in the reviews everyone's benching in the 500s. Lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Rinderle Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Found it. The bench daddy black. The reviews are almost humorous. I'm benching 625 now. Couldn't get 400 to touch my chest.

If you’re doing something higher or lower than that the carryover is minimal to your core lift. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
