Bench Press Heptathlon

Jarrod and I took on the Bench Press Heptathlon.  I had a lot of fun, despite him beating me on nearly every lift.

Competition Lifts

Bench Press - Feet on Floor - 175
Bench Press - Feet in Air - 175
Bench Press - Reverse Grip - 115 - personal best and set the 50 yo 100kg record
Bench Press - Alternate Grip - 125 - personal best
Bench Press - Hands Together - 145 - set the 50 yo 100kg record
Bench Press - Right Arm - 55 - set the 50 yo 100kg record
Bench Press - Left Arm - 55 - set the 50 yo 100kg record

Certificates

Bench Press - Rampage - 19 reps x 95 pounds
Bench Press - Reg Park - 110 pounds - first time trying the lift
Bench Press - Roman Chair - 75 pounds - beat the 50 yo 100kg record held by Patrick Hadley

Records

Vertical Bar, 1 Bar, 1" Left - 141 pounds
Vertical Bar, 1 Bar, 1" Right - 141 pounds
Vertical Bar, 2 Bars - 262 pounds

I was pretty conservative in my attempts, but it worked out well.  I missed attempts at 65 pounds for the one arm presses, but otherwise was good on all of my attempts.

Reg Park Bench Press ticks off one more from my remaining lifts to attempt.
