I recently re-read an article in PL USA about reverse-grip bench press. After reading the article, I decided to give them a try on Wednesday because my close-grip bench press is stronger than wider grips. The groove was different for sure, but I did feel more explosive/powerful. Do any of you guys compete with a reverse-grip or use it in training? AK

Hey guys Tonight i sort of hit my goal a year and a half early of a 500 pound bench as a teenager, we cut my single ply rage X up the back, and i benched 495 off a 1 board, i am really happy and our bench training is going unreal. Sorry for lack of posting anymore, im too obsessed with car forums now!! squats and deadlifts havent been too special as i tweeked my lower back with a PR ...

i have read the article "600 raw bench" , and my question is ,why is there not a chest exercise as an supplementary movement like dumbbell inclines or something like this ? is it not a must for a raw bencher ?

I know this has been discussed many times before, but I wanted to see opinions now that we have so many top level powerlifters on the boards. I've definitely noticed a big difference in recovery time and how often I can lift the longer I stick with things. Last spring I started benching twice a week and had awsome results from it. I'm back at school now and want to take things even more ...

I tried Zercher deadlifts for the first time last week. I hit 465 and I really liked the motion. Video Do any of you guys do any Zercher movements? AK

Whats the procedure and benefits?Im hearin alot of you guys talkin about it lately.

Ok, time for all of you guys to help me. Justin Tooley and I trained together today and I tried on a bench shirt for the first time in my life. It is a RageX he got from someone and it doesn't fit me very well at all. I have no idea how a shirt should fit, feel, or how to adjust it once it is on. I also don't know the best way to get it on. Please advise! You owe me!

...what would you have done differently? I was sitting in a lecture hall when a prof started off with "If I had known then what I know now..." and I had an "ah-ha" moment; this is something very valuable that I should listen to. I don't know if it's a maturity or age related thing, maybe I've finally grown out of the whole "I can do it all by myself mentality", but I found what he said ...

We are doing presses with a bamboo bar and suspended kettlebells. You would not believe how hard the bamboo bar makes the movement especially with the suspended kettlebells! Travis Bell is the camera guy. Video

How many here use a bench belt. The one that's about 2 1/2 inches wide all the way around. I have one, but I'm not sure if I really like it or not. I can arch more, but it doesn't feel like I'm getting a lot of support.

Here's Reko w/ some squat work. I'll upload mine in a bit. This was his first time in briefs and a suit. Pretty good work! Video
