Race to 405 bench?

[Rudis]

Oh cool! My best this year was 420. I just got a single ply shirt that I'm playin with. Gonna play that through. Signed up for a meet in june. Idk if itll be raw or geared, we will see

What kind of shirt did you get? Back in the day I used a denim and inzer phenom. Don’t know if guys still use those

Denim is no longer. The phenom is still popular. I got an overkill single ply. Only bn in it once now

For geared lifting, once you figure out how to use them they are a game changer. Everybody is different but I got about a 200lb carry over. Are you going to use boards to break it in?

Yeah, I touched a 2 board already but I got some things to learn yet... bar path and getting a good breath are on my mind mostly

 

[Rudis]

Don’t do what I did. Was working with a 1 board and was struggling to touch. Had the brilliant idea if I rolled my wrists back a little it would help me touch. Needless to say I broke my wrist and about broke my neck when 590 came rolling back

I agree, I always thought leg presses were over rated for strength purposes.

Over or underrated? I see they get a lot of hate, but they’re an amazing secondary movement for strengthening the pull from the floor and getting out of the hole in squats...The carryover isn’t 1:1, but it’s still a good movement to use without putting pressure on the spine.

To me, for strength purposes, I didn’t fell the benefit. I do agree it has its place and you are correct, no pressure on the spine. You ever do them with bands?

I'd do leg presses more if there was an attachment to do them really wide stance.

I haven’t, but I’ve seen them done and it looks brutal. And yeah, they’re not for everyone. I like them because they don’t beat my CNS up. I can do 5x5’s with 900+ and feel fine after a few minutes, lol.

That’s definitely a drawback on most machines. I’ve seen modifications...I believe Brian Shaw has one, but they’re obviously one-off customs.

Don't do it Barbell.. it's a setup. He tried getting me to send him a penis video once. Ignore him, and he'll lust after another guy.
