just did this for 95kg (rounded up from my present body weight of 93.6kg)

Got 17 reps out, which I was rather pleasantly shocked by. Pretty sure I have a few more there but, I am expecting to have lots of soreness from being very rusty. 20 might be in reach after all.

The missus home gym bench is pretty crap, it felt like it was going to give in/break . Very wobbly (you can see in the vid) and it's fairly high off the deck. It must only be rated to 100kg or something. There won't be any 1rm attempts on this one.

Just typical ,only a few hours after doing this and I am fricken sore, safe to say this was too much too soon doh!

lol you always push yourself over the top. How did your shoulders hold up, any injuries? May get you back into bench...

Nah , rounded up is fine. I don't think it will matter too much. I'd rather drop body weight to 90kg and be done with it ha ha...

shoulders are solid. I have put work into them and my back. Not enough for me to go chasing 1rm just yet but, enough for this. I did some 105kg strict presses a few weeks back so benching below that weight should be alright.

You should throw up some before and after pics of weight loss in your thread (preferably Skyline window reflection). It's quite an achievement at your age (and gives me hope for the future lol).

Leigh and I did this fresh tonight...never again! It f**ked us good for the rest of our sets :( Couldn't even get my 1RM out tonight. Vids will be up tonight or tomorrow morning.

I really wanna try this, but im 3kg off benching my body weight :(

You can do the girls' one if you like, at half your bodyweight :P

Keep at it dude, honestly I think bench pressing your own bodyweight is a benchmark for anyone...I know I was pretty happy when I was able to do it.

Leigh

BW: 73kg

BP: 72.5kg x 12 reps

Leigh's form was a tad average, not touching the chest on a couple of reps...but for a first attempt and no back arch, I'm pretty happy. He's only been training with me for 4-5 months and has come a long way IMO, already putting up a 1RM of 90kg. Well done mate.

    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
    • Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
