Killing it bro. What's the below?
@Hooroo said in Bench Press challenge...:
Dumbell Lat Pull
You are bent forward with one hand supported on a bench and your feet are back enough that you are on your toes, so you are essentially bridging.
Then with unsupported arm you pull the dumbbell up to your hip.
Does that make sense?

8!!!! years later! LOL!!!
I’m lifting more than I did back then, yet I’m only benching every now and again compared to those days. Goes to show how much dips/push ups/calisthenics etc can help the ‘big’ lifts. Woohoooo !

I'm gonna do this today. Might need to record it as I struggle to count past 100....mmm humble pie

Total 55I'm about 104 I reckon at the moment. Also have a shit shoulder.
I reckon I could bench 75kgs about 5 times. After a rest and a beer, maybe another 3 or 4. Pride would probably force me to crack a 3rd set of 1-2 to get to double figures.
Sweet.

@voodoo huh... for some reason I thought you were low 80s.
that'd be my running prowess fooling you 😉 - though I was 95 at my peak. I've got got no acceleration or top end speed, but can maintain a good clip over distance.
I'm heavy, always have been - was skinny-cut for my wedding 15yrs ago, but still weighed 92. I remember going to boxing sign-in at school in Form 4 and being told I'd be with the F6/7 heavies and running a mile 😅

. Dropped 8 shots off the hanidicapp without a lesson. Just by getting fitter and hitting the ball much longer

yes!! Finally on a single figure on my home course.
Well done mate! That's gonna suck in the comps though 😀

I dropped 10 shots off my handicap. Just playing 16 holes. Didn't need to get fitter at all.

Yeah fully, Shot 75 on the weekend, three putting the 3 of the last 5 holes!
Trainer has text me saying that as we thought we were going into lockdown and did strength work last week, this week is all power and cardio...… I will be paying the price!!

@Magpie_in_aus ha ha somewhat in hiatus with all this pandemic guff. I've also dropped down to 95kg and am aiming at low 90s. So I know I've lost a bit of muscle as well as the fat. Reckon 130kg would be a max rep at the moment

What's your prime time max rep? 130kg is pretty choice too!!

I might have to dust off the cobwebs and try a max rep too. I’m hoping that repping push ups with a couple of 20kg plates on my back and various other calisthenics will crossover nicely.

@Hooroo 145kg. That held constant between 105-113kg or so. Although I did change from a narrow to a wide grip a couple of years ago. That feels a lot more solid but I've got a lot more work to be done on form
especially how you revert to type under a heavy load and all the cues go out the window to just shift that weight!
