I had a bet with a friend today whether I could bench my body weight. I weigh 167. I put 135 on the bar and it felt a little shakey but it wasn't too bad. Then 155 and it was heavy but I was able to do it cleanly. Then time came for me to try 170. Well it was tough but I managed to do it after almost getting stuck about 1/2 off my chest. He said I would have gotten disqualified in a competition because one side of the bar was higher than the other and I also had my ass off the bench. Anyway, I tried 175 and got buried he had to lift the weight off my chest and onto the rack. ![[Frown]](frown.gif) Oh well. Just wondering how much people here can bench. Its tougher than I thought!

I don't work out for maxing out, I have my own routine with my own goals. However, one of the trainers at my gym wanted to see where I was at.

I maxed out again a week ago
335 on the flat bench
235 on the incline
I have been doing a chest workout that my Italian friend Nucio gave me. What you do is start with a good weight that you can do 10 reps with. When your done with hte 10 reps you sit up and watch the clock for 20 seconds then you do another set but this time you do as many reps as you can to failure. Then you sit up again and wait 20 seconds and do another set again of as many as you can to failure. These 3 sets together equal 1 set. You add more weight and do the process again doing it 3 times or 3 sets. 3rd set you should have more weight than the 2nd.
If you do this you must work through the pain and you will grow and get strong quickly. 8-9 weeks ago my flat bench max was 305 ![[Eek!]](eek.gif)
Oh i forgot i weight 221lbs. I've leaned out a lot but haven't lost weight ![[Smile]](smile.gif)

I stopped doing max sets about a year ago. At the time:
Weight: 158lbs
Max: 280lbs (2 reps)
Now I weigh 173lbs and I have been running/working out like a mad man for Marine Corps OCS. I do sets of 12-10-8 starting with 220lbs; adding 10 per side until I end up at 260lbs. I work out my chest on mondays... Maybe I will go at my max again ![[Wink]](wink.gif) Spotter... Anyone?

Hey Cummins, how rare are new body Supra's w/ 6 speeds in California, I may want to buy one from a friend of mine, from what I remember the 6 speeds are rare, ???
This will be my daily driver.
--------------------
Yellow94GT never touched anyone's sig or banned anyone, so I'm going to quit spreading that rumor. It's not like I have any proof anyways. All yellow94gt and other mods have done is volunteer their time to help other people buy/sell parts, learn how to make their cars go faster and meet fellow enthusiasts. I'm a hater, but it's hard to hate on these facts. I have saved hunrdeds, maybe thousands of dollars here buying and selling parts over the years alone, but I don't care, this website owes me damnit, and I'll piss on it as much as I want. Us haters gonna hate. Why contribute to something when you can take for free?
I act like I'm@Age15
I make friends on the internet that are@Age18
I was picked on in my youth so I became a bully@Age24
My mouth started to run 24/7 on the internet, but my car never at the track@Age26
First pubic hair@Age30
Troll@Age31
My internet friends and I ALL just got the boot for good!@Age31
Yes, you read it right, 31 and just as childish as my fresh out of highschool internet friends@31
Oh yeah, this isn't my website, so no one has to ask for my permission to change my sig. Hell, not like I pay the CAFORDS bill, so why should they need my permission to put what they want on their site? We're all guests here. Maybe some of us should start acting like guests or leave?
