Tommy and I summarily kicked him out.

Wow, huge PR!

Gracie. With regards to the PR, I actually havent tried reps on 3 plates in the SS since I did the 2 SS reps before. It’s been almost a year since then. Everything was in my old bench and thread, that is now unfortunately gone.. For time reference, it was the same week Andrew Dube posted his 310 bench in his workout log.

Blast from the past:  Elbow sleeve wearin, touch n goin, feet slidin, spit flyin, 45 year old almost dyin, most I ever lifted, which makes me start cryin...  :laugh

BW about 270 .  I was pulling 600 at this time, so I was the absolute strongest I had ever been.  Took me forever and a month to get there.  Tried for 350 several times and failed miserably and then got interested in other things for awhile and never really trained bench seriously again since.  So, I think I'm pretty silly to even be thinking I have a shot at 375 but that's never stopped me before.  Actually looking at how bad my form broke down and I was still able to finish it, I should have stayedat it to 350.  Oh well. 

 

330 a few days before was much cleaner.  lol

Hershey kisses and rubbers? Valentine's day is over buddy lol

Not in Casa del Rindo.  It's Valentine's Day everyday when you've got the chiseled physique of a Greek god like I do.

That’s a powerful blast from the past! 

Your form looked very... unique.

330 x 1 

This one really aggravated my neck afterwards.  If I'm going to keep trying to kick things up, I'm going to have to adjust my form to flatter-back and feet out to avoid worsening existing neck issues/pain.  But, this is the most I've done raw in a few years I think.  Bodyweight: 209

Nice work, Carl!

We have the same Rogue bench. I love how grippy and solid it feels.

@Buccos1 great work locking it out after bumping the j-cup! That could have shut things down in a hurry.
