It's probably that I have shoulder mo issues, and I never OHP, so when I put 105 up, I shuck and jive like Marty McFly in an earthquake.redfisher1974 wrote: »Wheelhouse15 wrote: »funny thread because my friend and I just made our ´bucket list´ and one of mine is just getting 300lbs 1x.

I'm in a similar situation for my bucket list but I wouldn't mind hitting 3 plates. It has been a bit of a dream for me ever since I hit 275 years ago but haven't been seriously lifting for a long time. It would be nice to see if I could climb back to 275 for the end of next year, which isn't too much more than my current 1rm so should be doable.
Yeah 3 plates here too, and at least 4 plates on squat and 6 on deadlift. Then, maybe... just maybe, I will be able to OHP 135#.
Really? I do 135 OHP for reps and you are stronger then me.

Shoulder dislocs with a pvc are the prescription, and they suck.redfisher1974 wrote: »

How about the woman doing her body weight? I saw one of the women's fitness competitions and that is what they were doing, seeing who could bench their body weight the most times. The winner was able to bench her body weight 44 times0

They are some strong women that's for sure. A few of them work out at my gym and they get nothing but respect.

*kitten* that.... if you're a fat *kitten* that's just not fair.
at 165 pounds that is 90% of my 1 rmp.0 -
Get this, I went to my local pharmacy to buy smelling salts or ammonia capsules.
The pharmacist told me they don't exist, and I must have been thinking about iodine capsules for first aid kits.

10 times for my body weight.0

I'm not even close right now to benching my body weight one time.
In regards to my earlier posting about my progress stalling out despite only lifting for 6 weeks, I wonder if one issue is that I've primarily been benching in the 10-15 rep range. Perhaps going lower may help?0 -

Sounds like an interesting challenge. I'm not one for volume but I should be able to get over 25 at my body weight if I worked on it since it's about 65% of my current max.0 -

Remember who you are talking about, though. They are very lean and likely on PED just like bodybuilders and other athletes and for their sport this probably includes EPO. Makes a huge difference from natural lifting.0 -

That's a pretty high rep range. I would probably bring it down to the 6 to 8 rep range or lower if you are trying to build strength.0 -
I have no "scientific" proof backed up by papers and such,(some may get this lol) but One way to increase your bench is to do 3 sets of 6 with enough weight to get the first 2 sets of 6 then only 3 to 5 on 3rd set, When you hit 3 full sets of 6 add 5 lbs next week and start over....You will get stronger.0
