Doing pretty good John !!! I can't mess with you on the bench, but anyday you want to do legs just let me know !!!!!!!
This probably should've been posted in the racers lounge John. Not too much corvette performance here.
Congrats on the new personal best. I hope to be joining the elusive 400 lb bench club too. Got some work to do first. You'll probably hit 500 before I hit 400 LOL
Again congrats on a successful bench press of 440 lbs! Thats over double your body weight...................

whats the racers lounge? yeah i know its nothing to do with corvettes, but knew you would see it in this section. lol.
haha yeah, i need to work on legs more.
damn impressssive lift, i misss being strong haha. I've been cutting weight and been doing dumbbell presses and now i struggle doing bench at all (just feels weird). Good to see someone who actually maxes and lifts without arching at all.
Good job man. Wish I could get up to at least 300. I had to spot some big samoan dude awhile back cuz I was the only other one in the gym at the time. He put up 550. Thank god because if he didnt get it no way in hell I could. Thats like 3x my weight.

DB presses are really good. it helps with balance. i switch off every other time when i work chest. BB, then DB the next week.
yeah there are some heavy hitters out there. a buddy is 5'6 215 lbs and did 495 (5 plates) on INCLINE press. thats wicked. The most iv ever done on incline was 355 and it felt like a truck. lol

Now John we've talked about this. If you aren't gaining weight then add 500 calories per day a week from a lean protein source. Chicken or tuna. Spread it out thru the day to help better control your peaks/valleys when talking about insulin. If thats not working then add 500 calories from beef. If that doesn't work keep the beef, and add another 250 chicken/fish and if still doesn't work make it 500 from beef and 500 from chicken/fish. THat extra 1000 quality calories per day every week should yield a hard gainer that is training well and resting well 1-2 lbs gain per week. Let me know how it works. BTW, I've eaten so much chicken I'm growing feathers. Sucks trying to cut fat, but I'm getting there.

Then do what I do, reduce your serving size and eat every 2 hrs or less. Remember how I told you I live out of a tupperware bowl full of ground sirloin, and chicken breast. I suggest you eat or at least sip on a protein shake while you lift, and then load up on food post workout. Utilize beef as your post workout meal. The chicken is good but your body wants more calories, and fat post workout. Then again, what you are doing is working so don't fix it if it ain't broke. John if the formula you are working with doesn't get you to at least 220, but hopefully 225 then we are going to have to sit down and map out your daily intake. When and how much you eat, so we can figure out a better strategy. Are you deadlifting ? Deadlifting is another GREAT exercise that packs on mass, especially when done in lower reps higher weight. 1-4 rep sets, and I mean 10+ sets after warming up. We'll talk later, keep up the hard work. One last comment, bring up those legs a little bit, and you'll find some of the mass you are missing. Good luck.

Great lift. It's even more impressive because you did it like a bodybuilder (longer range of motion) not a powerlifter. Be careful with the thumbless grip, I've heard some crazy stories. What are your squat/dead numbers?

On the no thumb grip, you have a great point. I've seen guys push so hard and the bar rolled out of there hands and landed on their chest/sternum/stomach. Wasn't pretty either.

Good to hear on the deads. Warmup with 135 to failure, and then add weight and do as I suggested. You'll be pulling 495 x 1 in a few months if you adapt to the exercise quickly. My best single was 515 and thought I'd was going to puke after locking it in. I don't get above 405 anymore. Usually 315 and 365 is more then enough. Not trying to prove anything to myself on that move anymore. I'm getting older LOL
I can't believe this thread hasn't been moved/locked or both ?!?!
