Bench meet results. New PR of 420 but did not win the meet.

Nice job Mac. I think there's plenty if potential in the 40 age bracket

Congrats MacGiver. A nice lift...and great experience.

Already congratulated you elsewhere but again: nice job.

I weigh a lot more than you and I will never bench anywhere near that.






See you in the squat rack.

Nice lift Mac.

Good job bro. Very Nicely done

Strong lift brother. I hope to hit around there soon

Congrats Brother!

Thanks guys!

If you would have dropped down to 198 where would that have put you place wise with that bench?

I would have taken it in 198's and likely won the meet as well. The whole thing was a last minute decision to do. (only 3 weeks prior). I had not even been lifting heavy as I was recovering from several nagging injuries. I basically got 3 workouts in prior to the meet where I went over 315.

That said, I am not really a 'bencher'. At least never considered myself a good one. In a full meet I would have wiped the floor with the guy that beat me. You can just tell a guy who that is all they do is bench. My strength is pretty well rounded and I dont have any weak lifts, but no stellar ones either. (Mid 1500's @ 198) I'd rather be solid all the way around then a one trick pony.

Looking to do a few sanctioned full meets some time in the coming year. I just have to make sure I am in the right phase of my training. (I like to diet down sub 10% just for looks and when I do, my strength goes to crap). A few weeks of food in me, and I am ready to push weight again.

I would probably feel differently if you were a dude....but coming from you, I think that may be the best compliment on a lifting vid I have ever had

Inzer could stand to put a little more leg on their singlets. I felt like I was wearing daisy dukes

Thank you, I was worried you might feel violated..lol I have a tendency to speak my mind, maybe not always a good thing!

Big lift period Mac.

That's motivating for me to keeping pushing.
