I just competed in a raw bench contest today

[Superman75]

Just got back from competing in a bench contest today. I went to the contest only to liftoff for my training partner and when I got there I was like what the fuck why not!

I wasnt planning on it..just did DE bench 36 hours ago on Thurs night and my lats were sore from 22 sets on Wednsday and tri's were sore too from band speed bench and JM's on Thursday..

The contest was in Miami and it was RAW (no bench shirts)

I went out drinking last night (on Friday and had some whiskey and cokes a lot of em!) got drunk had fun..so I got like 3 hours of sleep before the contest..woke up...I wasnt hung over just tired!

So I decided do compete during everone's weigh in...256 pounds..I was tired so I went outside and got some caffeine pills! I swallowed 2 200mg pills and snorted 2 more of em! I guess some of the other passing drivers saw me doing lines...ot the first time someones doing lines in Miami!! Just caffeine though for me!

No bench shirts were allowed so I did it raw:

opened with 365 easy
Next 400 kind of hard
Then missed 415..my but came up as I attempted to mimic the St Louis arch!

So 400 raw for this contest..I got 407 shirted in April so I am psyched and pumped wating for my double denim shirt to come back from alterations.


Nothing like the thrill of competing!

Awesome!! To put up that weight raw after all that crap is amazing. Just think what you'll do shirted when you are prepared for your next meet. Congrats.

That totally kicks ass! You missed an overall PR by 7lbs without your shirt and on 3 hours of sleep, BRO you are doing something right!

Thanks for all the support guys!

My training patner came in 3rd with 435 raw at 227 lbs and won $100 cash..

The adrenaline rush from competing is awesome!

Now for some rest and recovery!

Congrats bro! YOu did good man. Like Deciever said imagine if you had trained for it. When you get the denim you should throw up at least 455 to 475 depending on tri power. Way to get er done!

[Superman75]

Thanks Jay...Yeah I am looking forward to hitting some big numbers in denim
