Well nice lift and with the advice that was given, that number will surely rise.
None the less, pretty good for only 2 months

Actually, it's a relatively new LA Fitness in Valencia

@ trunorth,

yeah, there are two 25s on each side, it's easy to pick up 225 for me, so I put that on, and then I drop it onto the ground and load on 25s so that I don't have to struggle to slide on another 45, it's the best system I've come up w/ so far.

I just use a 10lb plate and lie it flat on the ground and roll the first 45 up on it. now the bar is high enough to slide as many 45s on as you want without struggling.

Nice

Didn't thought of that lolll!!! Will be using this trick ma man!

Well, my whole life I always dreamed of bench pressing my own body weight, and I pretty much never thought I'd get there. I'm doing max next week going for 200lbs but I just thought I'd like to show this one.

Benching 185 @ 186.5lbs

I'm pretty happy with how far I've come and I plan to take it a lot farther!

good job on the bench. Fire your spotter though, all he did was supporting the bench instead of u, and then apparently removing his headphone was more important than getting the weights. lol

He just wanted to give me a chance to get the last rep, i really wanted 4, and sometimes I manage to get past that sticking point, there's a great one of me doing decline bench where he's yawning, that one as really funny

True, but they weren't really heavy enough to count

[Cammo]

I got 175kg (394lbs) for 3 for my DL yesterday - I had a little audience as it's a community gym & not too many people DL in there (full of grandmothers & such) - I had to lift it or I would have looked like a clown (good incentive/motivation anways).

That's a PB for me - I'll try for more reps next time & then I'll up the weight....... 4 plates a side isn't too far away!

I might add... I haven't started using straps for my conventional DL's yet (only for romainian deads where I use a double overhand grip, otherwise my form suffers).

nicely done, congratz on the PB...i think my max is in the 375-390 range. im not sure...4 plates will be prolly 2 months or so as my max
wish i could post some stuff...poor university student...no vid camera

[jlozan84]

Congrats Cammo! 394 for 3 reps? You could def get 4 plates man (that is only 11 more pounds). I say go for it next time bro.

[STUK ina RUT]

Great job Cammo!

[Renegade68]

Very impressive. I'm hoping to crack the 400 lb mark this year on deads....my favorite exercise.

[POWERJIM]

Nice going Cammo, although until i see a video i dont believe you!
