    Warming up before a meet

    My last meet I had a torn miniscus and only trained for 3 weeks before hitting the platform.. Prior to that I was out of the gym for 28 weeks.. For squats I warmed up with the bar, to stretch out good, 225 for a couple then opened with 419. Jumped to 550 then finished with 650.. Bench I warmed...

    Got my new Bench Shirt (Got a question for the collective)

    The team makes all the difference.. I wish I could say who I get to train with. (he squats over 1000 in a lighter weight class).. Our 275 will more than likely total 2600 in March. Theres times when one of my team mates thinks Im not taking big enough jumps.. And hes usually right on the...

    Got my new Bench Shirt (Got a question for the collective)

    I will be getting close to 300lbs out of my shirt.. Thats where board work comes in. Lets u get used to handling alot of weight with out the fear of injury. Plus it lets you work on your stabilizers.. Theres been times Ive almost tipped off the bench from not taking it from the handout correctly.

    Warming up before a meet

    How much do you guys warm up before hitting the platform? As for me.. I do very little in the back while warming up.. I see guys warming up and barely making the lifts.. Thats just insane.. I want to leave it all on the platform not in the back. If im thinking I will be hitting atleast 600...

    Got my new Bench Shirt (Got a question for the collective)

    Im thinking if your benching 505 raw and touching with 545 that shirt is no where near tight enough. I bench around 386 raw, and can hit a fairly easy 601 with my shirt on. I can probably get close to high 600's if I didnt open my new business and havent been able to train in a few months. How...

    Got my new Bench Shirt (Got a question for the collective)

    exactly.. I like to get my shirts really tight, then I will put a tiny slice in the sleeve so it doesnt cut off my circulation. Theres a reason benchers walk around like zombies with their arms sticking out.. Damn shirts are freakin tight.

    Got my new Bench Shirt (Got a question for the collective)

    When your coming down to touch, your wrists kinda go backwards and then your kinda stuck.. Make sense?

    Got my new Bench Shirt (Got a question for the collective)

    When using a shirt for the first time its like benching all over again.. The bar will come down lower on you its more like an arch instead of coming straight down benching raw. When starting out with boards, you get a feel for the shirt with out risking injury by mishandling the weight or...

    Equipped Vs Raw.....

    Sounds like a plan.. Look for me. Ill be the one on the platform... LOL

    Got my new Bench Shirt (Got a question for the collective)

    The only thing I can add.. When first starting out with your shirt, use boards. Never try and touch right out of the gate..

    Equipped Vs Raw.....

    Nothing farther from the truth... Regardless if your wearing gear.. To handle over 600lbs on the bench isnt easy, or to squat 1000lbs.. that weight is still on your shoulders
