Essential Random Gym Thoughts Revisited...

Na breh squeezing the bar helps I've been using suicide grip for the past 4 years there is a major difference imo.


I have a hex trap bar at the crib just for that if I didn't have my cambered bar I'd ohp with the trap bar.

@Gully Bull is right ohp is the top 3 exercise of the upper body. I'm taking ohp over bench press everytime. That's where the real strength lies.

Except nobody ever asks how much you OHP, and the lift is rarely contested in weightlifting competitions.

Now where's that little bytch who sits down to (OH)Pee?

Ain't no such thing #POWDA1, He doing seated chin downs

With a wider grip, it's much easier to keep your shoulders in the correct position as the bar comes down to your chest. This will make your power output better, and improve your bench press development

Ohp irl making people know you strong as shyt> 99percent of the population e-stating a bench PR (or worse listing their smith machine 1rep max )

That strength standards website you listed a few pages back mentioned that they get a lot of their lift data from competitions. I forgot to mention I felt their OHP standards were off considerably.

A real world example is @You know damn well Is at 315 bench but 205 OHP

At my weight on the website, 195 ohp put me in advanced and @You know damn well got 70 lbs on me

Finally reached the milestone of being able to bench press over 100lbs (110 to be exact).

I still gotta improve my technique and sometimes I have troubles gripping the bar but other than that I’m on my way up. I should’ve entered this thread a long time ago. I’ll most def start keeping notes.

Meh. Me and big bro @You know damn well bench and OHP the same damn weights; he's got 55 pounds on me and I have no upper body skrenf.


Let us throw squats and (straight-bar) deads into the mix and that's when muhfukkas hit the when they see me in the gym.


Now if it came to doing some tire or MMA shyt or 3 Minutes in Purgatory, word to Dante, he's got it.


We each have our own niche. As long as it's not calisthenics, Smiff machining, or cardio, .

Right, I tip my hat to #POWDA1 on information, form, regime, etc he'll get you right. I do a different workout because I'm a fighter so I work on muscle endurance, explosive movements etc. I don't really do a lot of cardio(in the form of running) but anyone is more than welcome to step in the kumite

I’ma black man but ima let you get your jokes off. For awhile I was doing other exercises to build my chest…I been in the gym consistently for a good 7 months now. I been underweight for most of my life but I managed to get up in the 160’s and been packing on muscle (I’m only 5’8). The bench press was intimidating at first but once I started getting more comfortable with it, I gained more confidence and now I’m benching 110lbs

We all gotta start somewhere.
