18 Year Wait is Over: 300 Club!

Tweet18 Year Wait is Over: 300 Club!

Hey all. Just thought I'd mention that, after 18 years of lifting, off and on, my lifetime goal of benching 300 was met on Friday. Now, I'm not a strong man, but I always thought 300 is respectable.

Along the way I've done everything to get it naturally - - diet, training etc. I got to hitting 295 but then that extra 5 pounds just would never go up.

I am 3 weeks into my first cycle. A mild one by all accounts: 300mg test cyp/week. I'm up 15 pounds of mostly water but everyone tells me I'm huge.

Along the way on this stretch of lifting I'd worked back up to maxing at 285. On friday I was FINALLY feeling strong. I've never experienced this before b/c this is my first cycle. I put on 290 and zip, up it went, no problem. Well . . . I might just hit it.

Loaded it up and, zip, up went 300. Got it. Hey, that wasn't even too hard. Threw on another 10 pounds and hit that too. I might even have had a touch more in me.

310 felt great. I really hope that when it's all said and done I can still hit 300 post cycle. Anyway, feeling good.

GO

Tweetwhew I thought you were going to say that you weighed three hundered pounds. good job though. I am assuming perfect form on the bench.

[Gettin'Old]

TweetAbsolutely perfect form on the bench. One thing that was so cool was that after hitting the large lifts on flat bench I still had plenty left over to hit heavy incline and flat dumbells. The 100 pounders on flat were like practically flying out of my hands. Hilarious.

[stonecold54]

Tweetalright that is what I liked to hear. I see some guys benching putting there whole body into it as if that helps there chest muscles develop. so I take it you like the juice

[Gettin'Old]

TweetI sure like the upside. I'm pretty nervous about how I'm going to feel when I come off. It's not that far away now.
