 ಠ_ಠ Member 1590, 271 posts SQ 170, BP 122.5, DL 200492.5 kgs @ 77kgs UnEq | Post Edited: 12.09.2011 @ 20:59 PM by Gordy87 Paul_D said:Yup yup, as others have said, solid benching. 120kg at least there from that showing. What is the reason behind it though...? You seem to be a WL primarily, would this not hinder oly drills, flexibility and mobility? I think to a certain extent it potentially does. I have a mate who was able to bench high 170kg's and also snatch around 120kg so I think you can do it (bench press) as long as you have the mobility to receive the snatch in a strong overhead squat position. If I get too tight around my shoulders and I'm unable to receive the bar in a snatch I'll probably ditch it (well.. replace it with close grip bench at least!)  I do it on a Monday because the weightlifting club will fall out with me if I do on weightlifting night!  Only joking; I do it because I enjoy it.Also, check out Chad Ikei. According to his website; Chad broke a World Record Bench Press and National Record Snatch within the same month. Pretty awesome feat of strength. Cheers Paul. | ||
