Set a new paused bench PB at 155 today

Booyaaaaa! PB
Nice work LiE and Tefal, awesome job
EDIT: Especially considering you've just changed your setup haven't you Tefal? Nice work
P.S: No depth isn't amazing, but it's something I'll work on

Well done!
Finally got some weight on your back.
As you say depth isn't spot on but don't worry about that too much, it's good enough for now.
Cheers. That was on the edge of destruction, so it won't be amazing.
I'm intending to keep at it, then reassess and work on depth more. Time will tell

Felt fresh today so gave it some beans with my legs session.
100 kg x 5 squats and deads.
Nothing on some of the numbers on here, at least it feels like I'm lifting proper weights! I've got my form sorted and now I'm ready to push on.

Shameless copy and paste:
BOOM!
9 for 9, huge comp PBs on each lift and all time PBs on each as well!
It was a good day
Not really much to say as it is all there in the video but I am expecting big things from myself in the next few months. The heavier bodyweight was definitely a smart choice, but now I have to decide what happens at the British next year.
I reckon I have another couple of kgs on each lift as well, especially the bench, should have gone higher.
Just as a measure of progress:
Squat - 15kg comp PB and 5kg all time PB
Bench - 15kg comp PB and 2.5kg all time
Deadlift - 15kg comp PB and 10kg all time
Last comp was nationals on Sept 9th and last 1RM session was 3 weeks ago for squat and deadlift but only 1 week ago for bench.

Nice work! Love it. Really wish I could have come along to watch the pair of you.
Love the squats and deadlifts, deadlifts are just pure awesome
(No bench as I can't relate to BB bench)

)Ha ha, thanks man.
It is a good day but it is a bloody long one, especially if both me and ice are lifting because I'm normally in the morning and he is in the afternoon. Maybe if we can convince LiE to do a comp we could have an OcUK section in the crowd.

Would be amusingChecklist:
- Watch Ice and Dom (and LiE? ) in lifting comp
- Watch Steedie in his pants - Then in his comp

Dom I'm defo competing next year. My training now is geared towards it. I'm not far from you either in MK.

Niiiiiiiice.
That first dead absolutely flew up.
I am benching around the same as you but absolutely miles off your dead
My PB was 180 but it didn't go up as cleanly as your 220 did.
and I am quite a bit heavier than you.
good work

You could've got up on that last rep, your legs aren't shaking and your not being sick! Smashing effort though
Boring but big is bloody horrible! :/
lol
I said the same thing when I saw the video yesterday
This new pause height is the best way I've found to burst blood vessels in and around the eyes.
whoop manged 100kg on the bench press today
Nice work chaps!
For the record it doesn't matter how heavy it is, a PB is a PB.
