Not a ymca gig....a regular meet...natural meet also...my max right now is 440-465...depends on how i warm up, heavy or light and the amount of sets i put in before hitting it...i would have to say that i have never really maxed out correctly...i generally throw is a set of 10, then 3 sets of 6 then go up.....the guy i am working out with is a state title holder for natural power lifting.....mike something or other....never asked his real name...got curious about the bands he uses to train, and started bs'ing from there....
...i have 3 months to boost it up....i think i should get it up there...and my max is without a shirt...
...i have always been interested in trying a meet out...since i am a bench baby anyhow i guess...
...and to me "respectable" is a good correct bench for a 204-210 pound buy over 350....
...thats just me though....the gym i train at is full of guys over 400 on bench, 500+ on squats and 500+ on deads....
...except for me on the squats...i got little leggers....i am over 500 on deads though....that is why i am not going to go with the 3 lifts for a total, i dont think i will do very weel with the lagging legs...
but, mike told me i should try it anyhow to see how it goes...still debating, but i think i am going to just stick to the bench gig...
...on the shirt gig, i was not going to order one since i am just trying this thing out...
and on an ametur meet that is natural, do they test or something, or do you sign a waiver, i was wondering since it is an ametur meet...
...as you see, i am not to informed on this..i just know when i have to be there, and i am going to ride up with mike...since he is like my coach now i rekon....he is a good bro though....
E
its not like some YMCA bench off deal is it? regardless, with a shirt (make sure they allow denim befor ordering one) i would say 400-500?
