My hypothesis would be around 375-385 raw.

That's about right. I was doing 360 at 405 shirted.

I havent maxed out without the shirt in a while. I never get shoulder pain when i use the shirt.

let me clarify: raw bench doesn't matter to a powerlifter that competes in feds with chirts.

I weigh 268 but Im 6'3.5. I have a buddy, Alan Borden, in the power lifting circuit who knows the Inzer guy real well,maybe thats my loop hole. 6 weeks ago I got 465 raw, after sniffing some ammonia caps., which is still new to me...

I have a single ply Rage. The Rage X is better though.

My next shirt will be a Single Ply Phenom or a single ply Katana.

I dont know the tech side of it, but for me it makes me more alert, wakes me up where the superpump 250 slacks off....

Have you smelled it before? I makes your body go into "what the fuck mode" and releases adrenaline to compensate. Only for a very short period of time though.
I used it at my meet but not at LA Fitness. haha.
The smelling salts are even worse.

Kinda... I have done ammonia a couple times before some dead lifts and it definitely perked me up, helped me focus. It does nore to clear up your sinuses with a quickness, more air to the brain, better response, etc.

haha, nice. I really dont ever want to be 260. I do plan on my bench to keep going up though...
Deadlift is my best lift though if you want average the two. :)

decent DL numbers.. im conidering trying again. but it will be light. just to try buildup the muscle around my lower bacl. my days of heavy pulling are over.

That's probably more than i can do. I may try some raw lifts today since one of my training bands broke.

Funny thing is you cant just put on a shirt and get 50lbs out of it. It takes practice, some change in form, and a little pain. Some cant do it a give up. You must be one with shirt to master it. :D

i dont BB bench.. i tuck my elbows and bring it to the base of my chest.. its not a true PL bench.. but its 50/50.. you should come out to my gym one day:) we can have a bench off. your shirt Vs my jew unit shirt:) and you can show me the right form for PL shirted bench

I dont even bench like a powerlifter. I still have my elbows flared out. I have a beginner shirt that allows for that. You still have to get use to the shirt though. It has a groove...
I do all my training on my own. I would like someone that knows what they're doing to help me with form but i havent ran across anyone yet. I've tried to do what i see in videos but i doesnt feal right and i dont know if im even doing it right. I've been powerlifting for a around a year now so i've made some awsome progress, it's time to find a crew if i want to get serious.

You gotta do what keeps you motivated. Assisted lifts definitely have their place in powerlifting, and I respect those who choose to master the techniqe, but I really have no desire to try it. Then again, I hit the gym for my own' personal satisfaction, if I were competing that fram of mind would most certainly change.

if you really want to learn from the best.. go to www.badattitudegym.com Sean and phil the 2 main guys there are Bad mother fuckers.. so is Ray.. i dont post there anymore because i got into it with one of their out of town regulars who is a bit of an ass.. because i dont DL or squat because of my back.. and the fact that i go for raw reps and not true PL ORM he was an ass to me. so i stoped posting there. but they are local. and some freight train lifting mother fuckers..
IMO some of the best Pls around..

funny you say that, i just talked to Sean on Friday. I was going to lift with them on Monday for Squat/Dead day but i really fucked up my knee on Fri. night so i didnt go yesterday. I was playing B-Ball like a stupidass. I should have never played. I may not be able to do my meet if i cant squat.

Some of the bad attitude guys take their gym name a little too seriously. They are strong and all, Ray was the first time I saw a 1000 lb squat in person, but some of them can be pricks and I'm not the only person that thinks so.

White_lightning

10-10-2007, 08:08 AM

the only ones i know are ray, phil and sean and all 3 seems good.. i butted heads with " raging bull" or what ever the fuck that guys name was because im not dumb enough to get under 800lbs squat with a herniated disk. and because i care about my raw numbers not my numbers with 16 super tight sheets of denim wrapped around me.
