Bench Press PB

Following on from Squat and Deadlift PB tests this week, thought I'd do my least favourite and weakest strength test - the Bench Press.

For a lot of guys, the bench press and dumbbell biceps curls are the main exercises. Big arms and chest are the macho things to work. For me, they are unnecessary for what I want to achieve so it's rare that I do them.

Started off with 3k on the rower 1:56 pace at r18.

Bench
10 x 60kg
4 x 80kg
1 x 90kg
1 x 100kg
1 x 110kg
1 x 120kg PB (recent - once did 140kg at 18yrs old)

1500m 1:46.5 r20
1000m 1:44.7 r20
1000m 1:54.7 r20 strapless and df83

I'm pleased with 120kg for now. I won't be training it much so I don't expect it to improve much. The squats, deadlifts and power cleans are the main exercises that will help me on the indoor rower. I'd like to get to 250kg for squat and deadlift this year and 120kg power clean.
