Hit a new max!!!!

[rocky83]

So decided to up it on the incline bench today and hit a new max of 375 LB. Might be alot of some of you monsters out there, but was a number I have been wanting to hit for a while and can't believe I finally hit it tonight.

Re: Hit a new max!!!!

bro, do not compare yourself with guys who can lift huge. that is more than probably 98% of the world. think about it. how many people do you know........even at your gym who can do that. there was a small handful at mine and i doubt anyone at my work could left their bodyweight let alone a fantastically heavy weight like that. Way to go!

so.........what is your next goal?

Yeah I lift a little leas then some bros of mine but I am a lot bigger then them because I'm so tall.
Some time I think some people just have super tendons that give them a huge advantage then others who might have slightly bigger muscles and smaller tendons.just my 2 cents lime the skinny guy at one gym I go to reps 2 plates incline with ease and my bro is all jacked and struggles with 5-7 reps

I never gave it much thought till last night, but I'm thinking 405 LB on the incline bench press would be a good goal to shoot for. I never honestly thought in my life that I would ever see that weight, but now I think it could be a realistic goal.

315 seems like a huge number to me I max that falt bench😢

Re: Hit a new max!!!!

That is an awesome incline bench weight. Ive done some decent sets of 6 with 315 in the past but never have climbed that high.

for sure. you are right. some guys are just stronger. maybe it is tendons maybe genetic muscle density or a higher % of fast twitch to recruit during a lift. i think it is healthy to set your own goals and not compare yourself to others unless that is your goal and is attainable.
