Let's bench 4 plates

[Hany-Support]

So yesterday 75 year old Ken (on TRT) and I trained bench together. We had had him hit a life time PB at age 73 of 125kg/275lbs 2 years ago. I worked to 162.5kg x 2 and ken did 5 x 3 with a 100kg/220lbs. Shortly after Karl (former Royal Marine Commando PT) worked to 3 attempts with 190kg. He then dropped to 100kg for reps and the bench broke. We were all so lucky not to have had that happen with our max weight. No injuries

Respect, it always impresses me and it's good to see older people in the gym training.

Lucky nothing happened to you.

I took it to 2 x 1 x 170kg bench press. I think that's literally 4 peaks or nearly peaks this year. Which is, to me, kinda crazy (in a good way)

Friday
Sh*t deadlift day but the bench was 3 x 1 reps with 170kg which, I think, is my best ever.
