Pardon the dumb question, but does "no lift off" mean that you have to unrack the bar yourself?
If so, I never thought this would make too much of a difference (shows what I know!)...? Either way, nice numbers - I haven't tried "strength benching" for ages, so your warmups are still pretty awesome.

Tasty. So tasty. Like, finger linking good tasty.
It's always been worse for me, as I've never been able to get my shoulders in the right position afterwards. I wouldn't have thought training it would make it better, but it seems to be!Pardon the dumb question, but does "no lift off" mean that you have to unrack the bar yourself?

Those feels when all benching is no lift off benching.
I only know these feels. I prefer no lift off for heavier lifts as I find I feel a bit disorientated in the lift and like I have a bit less control.
If you can't unrack it you can't bench it..../ntsrs
Having a poor unrack is worse than doing it yourself, for sure.
I just want the bar to be moved over my shoulders without me having to change their position. I go not want to have to catch the bar as you drop it on me. I also do not want to stop myself from sliding off the bench because you dropped one side first.

Yeah I lift on Sunday.
3 attempts for each lift, but you'd be a fool to open with your max and try 3 times at it. Generic rule of thumb is you open with a weight you can comfortably triple or know for certain you won't fail.

Wish I was going! Even as the official camera man or something!

That would be cool, although my lifting is going to be completely unremarkable compared to the rest of my weight class!Wish I was going! Even as the official camera man or something!
