220kg bench(eq) at 88kg

[hungryh]

Hey guys,
so tried my bench shirt again since my 200kg pb last time and with your advice(jack the shirt down). I added another 220kg, hopefully I can jack it way more and go for 240 next time!!

still didnt touch though, hoping heavier weight will make it touch naturally enough!

Good job handling the weight.

If you get your handoff guy to push your belt down as you set up it'll help you get your belly and arch up more.

Leave the collar up high and break with a little more speed and it should touch at that weight.

thanks man! Im taking in as much advice as I can to try touch next session, just scared to try since I dont have a power rack and dont have the option of sufficient spotters really...might have to give up on equipped lifting till I can join a new gym even :/

Only thing I would have to say bad about that lift is the spotter.... He needs to much closer and ready to act him being that far away it would be on your face or neck before he knew it. I dumped 466 on my face (almost) in a meet but the spotters when doin here job and saved my pretty face. Lol just have that guy get closer. The dump was my fault, shirt was way to jacked for that little weight.

Every shirt and lifter is different, it's also different depending on what weights you're handling.

For me, at 800+ it almost doesn't matter where the collar is as long as the sleeves are all the way up. It's almost easier at that point because the shirt isn't choking me.
With the collar up I usually open in the mid-700s and can, if I'm really feeling sadistic, touch around 600.

thanks a lot guys!! I FINALLY learned how to touch in my last session, got as low as 180kg to touch, and just did that for ages the whole session to nail in the technique haha

here is the vid:

Now that I can touch weights in it I will have to see what I can do next session, and I can compete equipped now in the comp in 12 days so I am delighted!! thanks for all the help again guys really appreciate it!!

Great to hear ( and see)...... good luck at your contest. Hopefully with a good competition bench you'll be able to get a bigger arch and get an easier touch. Your strength looks good. That press was fast.

Nice job.
