re: OT Gym Rule #5,265: No parking zones..

How is your bench that weak when your other numbers are so much better? 110 ohp ain't shabby for a beginner or early intermediate lifter but 165 seems way low if you can press 110 overhead.

Gotcha...I read itas he was stuck at 165 max. OK that makes sense.

At my gym, there are 2 rooms of dumbbells and there is only a single level (unlike your pic) . Pisses me the frick off when some pussy grabs 30 pound dumbbells, walks all the way across the room and camps out on a bench in the area where the real weights are and blocking access to them. Sorry bro, I'm not lugging the 150's all across the gym. Stay in the lightweight area.

farmers walks are bawss.

I've always had pretty strong shoulders, wrestled in H.S. and a little for the club team at LSU when they had it. I've always struggled with my bench though. I think when I was doing split routines and repping to max I got up to about 195 1RM.

Absolutely...want to build some grip strength like an ape...farmers walks.

Serious question(s)- how far do you typically walk when doing these? and at what relative intensity?

Also, do you find these better than static holds?

Depends on how heavy. Try to do a weight I can hold for about a minute keep walking without dropping.

Thanks. I may try to start doing these with fat gripz.

Don't have a hex. bar at my spot.
