Not trying to give you a hard time but....
I'd venture to say if you did FULL reps that number would be cut down to about 25.  |
Thanks. At least I didn’t have my ass 2 ft in the air to decrease my rom by 50% like most powerlifters do. I lifted it strait up. But yeah not 100 percent lockout every time. I just don’t do reps like that I guess. Unless it’s a heavy and slow set
I did 400 raw in high school at 17. With a pause. Still got the record there. Bench comes easy to me. I’d be much higher but I’ve ripped a pec before and it always starts talking to me around 500.
I’ve done 315 for 18 reps before going a lot slower. I bet I could do 30-35 with 245 going slower and full lockout.
I don’t really hit every rep like it’s an official max when doing a workout. Dont know anyone who does. If you watch the nfl combine I’m right on par with how they do it as far as speed and form. Which speaking of that the record is 49 with 225. Bet I could surpass that with a little practice lol. Probably close to it now
