Most weight ever lifted?... let's see the numbers!

That's OK. I posted my response and nobody even accused me of lying! (They are my real numbers from the week of post!) How embarrassing is that? It doesn't matter anyway. I'm stronger than ever before. I thought that 315 was a respectable weight to squat and dead for reps for a guy my size. (I weighed myself yesterday at 188 lbs., 5'9") I'm 36 yrs old, work too much and sleep too little. But I'm happy with my progress, as frustrating as it can be sometimes.

pullinbig how often do you compete in comps?

i have done 3 bench meets this year and have a bench/dead lift meet next weekend. i am doing a three lift meet in january. (which is where i belong since my bench is my worst lift) me doing bench meets is like going to a gun fight with a water pistol. =0l
 
for powerlifting events do you train heavy until 2 or 1 week before the comp and then let yourself rest or how does preperation go?
 
yea another failed attempt at 600#'s+!!!!!!!! you missed that by a nats ass and you say you aint a great bencher?i would love to pull 600#let alone press it!

606 went down and up to that point 3x in a row. well one i got my right arm locked out. however i have shortened my stroke some more since that meet. that may make the difference. hopefully im not too beat up next weekend. elbows are tough right now. ic ecity couple times per day to relieve the pain.

anyhow.

shorter stroke
more bar speed
more top end work
get stronger

these are what i have to work on. nice to know what ya gotta do to fix sumpin. course these things cover just about everything in benching :D

oh i forgot the most important thing. get a new shirt. mine is 4 years old. =0l
