Damn, great work. It was less than two years ago you hit the two wheel mark, right?

For everyone else: who has the bigger arch, Aidan, or this chick?

ETA: Apparently she hit 310 a little while back? Someone's got some work to do.

Yeah, a little more than two years but that was unpaused at about 8 pounds lighter bodyweight.

So do your coaches have any idea what you are theoretically capable of raw? Like is 1500 realistic in ~2-3 years or is there just no way unless you get saw-fat?

Theoretically? No. I mean, no one knows what is theoretically possible. 680kg/1500lbs seems doable, but 2-3 years might be short. Realistically I need a lot more lbm for that, and it may be impossible for me to acquire it. I'd have to take nutrition much more seriously for a start.

Or take nutrition more seriously.

Disgusted as usual by the #s in this log, there's a reason why I avoid it

How's that Soulman? You actually lift? I always just thought you were here for the atmosphere.

There is always that... Seems pretty unlikely though.

Thanks!!

I don't mind seeing Aidan's progress but I'd like to be able to browse logs without finding out a 14 year girl crushes my lifts. I thought when I said "I lift like a 14 yo girl" I was making a joke

Buy a super katana bench shirt and there is a reasonable chance you too can bench 310 to a pudding can...

If by "actually lift" you mean "put plates on a barbell and move it through space", then yes, I do!

Bench form so salad. Jelly. 137.5kg looked hard but not grindy.

Does that girl's lift count? They put some sort of pudding can on her chest to decrease the ROM further. Then advertised the pudding at the end like that had anything to do with her lift.

Pudding + katana shirt for maximum gains. I'll consider it.

Of course that lift passed in a meet. Dave Hoff is a master technician.

Congrats on the PR!

What you want to do with your feet when you set up is walk each foot out individually a little while keeping the other in place. Get them out as far as you can. When you do this right, there will be no possible way for your butt to come up off the bench - your hips will be stretched to their limits and it will be very uncomfortable. You're not doing that and that's why your butt comes up when you try to use leg drive. When you fix this leak, you have a lot more in you.

cha speaks truth. Imo a great way to immediately test the difference without taxing yourself is to do 70% for a 3 count and test out how different it feels when you position your feet differently.

You could even try this out with just the bar for singles. Your hips will not feel good, but that is what you want if you want to be your best at benching.
