How the Bench Press Competition Went
Willem Started conversation Aug 7, 2017
The contest was quite all right although I was disappointed in not matching the best lift I managed in preparation. I bench pressed 85 kg (I did 95 kg in the preparation) at 72.3 kg bodyweight ... in the competition itself I tried 95 kg twice but missed. I tied for third last (and one other guy fell out of the contest for not managing any of his three lifts) but I was the only lifter over 40 years of age. By age standards the 85 kg was actually quite a good lift! The heaviest lift was 160 kg, but the winner was a guy who pressed a bit over 125 kg while weighing in the low 60's.
There was no soreness whatsoever the next day.
I'll certainly do this again.
