225 lb bench press tonight

very slow. is it considered valid?
p.s., is it ok to post the lifts as they are recorded, or better to wait till they're all recorded and then make 1 reply with all of them?0 -
I looked at the lift one time at full speed. Like you would have to judge one. I may have missed something but that happens when you get to view stuff over and over in super slow mo.
The speed of it looked fine. The side angle is hard to tell about your lockout and if you became motionless on your chest. Feet and butt looked fine, may have been an uneven lockout with the right arm slow.
Overall, the lift looked good, from the angle the video was taken I would give it a white light.0 -
@TASO about your squat. You needed more depth, not alot but still need to get down some more. There may be many different things that will help you get there. Other angles are needed to make good suggestions. One thing is try to keep a more up right posture. (I am very bad about this ... too many years doing "football" squats.)0

Bench looked fine Taso. The lockout looked fairly even, and i didn't see the bar move downward.0

Look good out of the hole but during the meet, the judges will ask you to pause the lift right when you get to the bottom. So you can't bounce the bar off your chest. Not that you did that. But you have to wait until they say "lift" before you go back up.0 -

Nice work guys. Ill have some vids up in the coming weeks.
Looking for 150kg sq, 105kg b, 227kg DL. At ~90kg bodyweight
see how i go!0 -
I'd say Taso's squat was good, just on parallel it seems to me. And yep, need to pause the bench but unless you've got someone to call it for you that's not really possible.0

300 lbs when you weight 150 is more impressive to me than 525 at 350. Double your bodyweight vs. 1.5x - to match, I'd have to lift 700, and that's a LONG ways away, if I even get that far.0 -
it doesnt really convert like that in reality though once you get that high imo.
a 500lb squat is strong. regardless of bodyweight.0 -

I'm still trying to wrap my head around Wilks formula and things like that - still a newbie at this whole powerlifting thing.
But that's okay - I've still got the bench to do, and that's where I shine.... like mud.0 -

Don't hate on your lifts man.
Once you hit certain numbers, no one (other than haters) is going to give two ****s about Wilks.
A 600 pound raw squat is impressive rather you're 165 , 242, or a 308.
525 for a double is pretty damn strong either way you look at it.0 -
525 @ 351.5 = 130.6 WILKS
475 @ 190 = 140.8 WILKS
300 @ 150 = 104.3 WILKS
If you're doubling 525, the 1RM should be damn impressive.0 -
I just want to say thanks for your support - as I said before, I've just started lifting (and working with others who actually know how to lift properly) a few months ago, so I'm still fuzzy of how I stood on the average. If it's not obvious, I'm not a "ripped" kind of guy - my six-pack is more of a wine barrel
- so I feel like the fat kid on the side of the field most of the time.
With your comments, I'm actually getting more inspired to try entering a local competition - once I get a total over 1300, I'll give it a go.0 -

Don't wait to compete. It's a great experience no matter what your total is and you will be able to apply what you learn to better your training.0
