There was a powerlifter in my gym doing a 125 lbs one arm bench press with an Olympic bar. I can't even do that with both arms lol. The balance alone must be difficult. He said he is a bit unbalanced so he does this to get his weaker side stronger. I was very impressed.0

I wonder why that side is that weaker? Hmmm....0 -

There is a girl in Philly who is a powerlifter- she competes- she only has one arm.
She finds center with her hand on the bar- then slides it over so it's over her shoulder. pretty fricking awesome.
I don't think I'm going to be able to lift today. I'm upset at this. poop0 -
Got these in the mail yesterday. SBD knee sleeves and singlet.
Ran to the gym this morning to preflight them up to 85%. (355lbs/161kg)
Depth look good?0 -
Depth is great. I'm guessing a good 2+" below parallel.0

You're kidding I hope. If you're competing, you make want to work on not quite so deep. You'll leave unnecessary pounds on the platform. You don't get more points for extra deep
For reference, I'm a ref in an IPF affiliate (CPU) and don't need to see anything nearly that deep.
How do you like the sleeves? I found mine difficult to put on the first time and had to watch an instructional video. I couldn't get them over my feet. I have Rehbands, two kinds of titan and SBDs. I like the SBDs the best.0 -
Yeah man, really nice squats! Nice and deep and without a hitch at all.
I have to say I love my TK knee sleeves. They keep my knees so nice and toasty and they just feel nice.0 -

No problem. Deeper than deep!0 -
Thanks Ashley! I used to really struggle with this lift and then three months ago I finally figured it and since then I feel indomitable at this lift.nakedraygun wrote: »

Yep I know that. Since it was my first time using these SBD I tried to go a little extra. I only asked because like proofing your own work, you look at it so much that you fail to notice the typos or formatting errors #designerproblems.

I like them. While they felt different over my Rehbands, I felt a little stronger out of the hole. I got mine on okay the first time, even though getting them over my calves sucked. Before this morning sesh I folded them half over and placed/aligned them to my knee. No biggie.

Nice work. I would have thought overhead pressing would come naturally to someone with a solid bench. However, my husband has proven otherwise.0 -
