Crush it!
Thank you sir.
Best of luck Stephen!👍 I will try and watch the livestream if I can remember
Thank you Bill. Keep me posted with your upcoming event.
@@fitman046e Will do, Stephen. I'm actually having 2nd thoughts about doing it now🙄I'll decide this weekend if I'm going to do it
Great job! Congratulation!
Good stuff👍
Thank you sir.
Hey Stephen, glad to hear you're sticking with it, despite the niggles and injuries. It doesn't get any easier does it? I'm currently prepping for UK Masters Nationals on June 8th. Been battling some SI joint issues myself, and shoulder pain, not enough to stop me training, but just enough to make me a bit tentative. I have decided to pres on regardless. Good luck with your prep👍
How has your training coming along ? Are your numbers improving from last year ? It definitely makes it challenging when you're fighting nagging injuries. Are you planning on going to South Africa if you prevail at this years UK Nationals ?
@@fitman046e Training has been mixed. Squat Good, Deadlift OK, and bench not ok. I would go to South Africa, if I got the chance, but my chance of winning nationals is very small, as there is more opposition this year. How about you?
@@billwestwater3098 I think I have a fair chance if I can hold it together. I'll have a better idea after the 17 of this month. I really won't know until then how others perform. I can look at the past and see what they did a year or two ago, but you never know where they are currently at.
@@fitman046e Excellent, that's positive then. Best of luck at Nationals💪
Great video Steven. Greetings from Sarajevo!
Thank very much
Bravo!
4/11/24: Steven, how are you doing now at age 65? Looking forward to seeing your next video. Tom
Hey Tom, Recovering from a sinus infection that has sapped my strength. Not sure when the next video will post. I have the Nationals coming up May 17 in Austin Texas. I may post one before that event. How are you sir ?
@@fitman046e I’m doing well. I hope you get well soon. Thanks for your response.
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Thank you.
I’m somewhere in the neighborhood at335 And I’ve got about two months before my 64th birthday. Not sure if it’s possible but would love to do 405, now my problem is not necessarily the lockout is the first 2 inches off my chest that I struggle with any suggestions
I think anything is possible. Benching 335 at 63 is a pretty good bench press. Things that always help are strengthening stabilizer muscles, staying tight and using proper leg drive by engaging your glutes. Incorporating pause reps may help you with getting the bar off your chest. Also consider overloads with a slingshot.
@@fitman046e thank you 👍
My favorite device is bench blocz.
Great tool for lockouts.
He sounds like his wife.
That's funny.
If hes 64 then im 150!
Actually I turned 65 three days after this lift which was last Saturday. Thank you for the comment.
We gotta need an OHP lift video I bet you can do 225 EASY
No. 225 at 64 would be insane. This is beyond insanity bro
Thank you sir. It was a real grind. I started back powerlifting after almost a 30 year absence hopefully to encourage people as they get older not to give up on life.
Slow and steady...and nicely done! Brilliant Sir!!
Thank you sir.
Jose from Cpk outstanding!!!
Thank you sir.
Nicely done! 😤😤
Thank you sir.
Steve nice lift
Thank you Fred.
bro held it up…
No shot, he had his hands there for a spot. There’s no way he could’ve “held” 315 up like that with 0 effort
Im no powerlifter and my biggest challenge has been bench pressing over 135. Im not a strong guy at 5'7 weighing 145, my squat max is 225, deadlift is 245. But it feels so hard to push over 135pounds, maybe its related to my left arm injury ten years ago but i believe thats healed 100%.
The great news is that you're training and improving your muscle strength. Unless you're powerlifting and competing it really doesn't matter if you're lifting heavy. Before I started powerlifting 3 years ago I did not lift heavy. There are many things that can help you increase the amount of weight you're lifting. First is technique. With the bench remember to bring your elbows in like you're bending the bar. Don't let your elbows flare out. Make sure that you set up in such a manner that you can drive your knees out as you push the bar up. Work to increase the strength in your stabilizer muscles especially your rear delts and your lats. Most of all make sure you're having fun with it and don't see it as a job. Train hard and stay safe.
Why not just do a JM press?
The JM press is a very good exercise. It's just my opinion that the close grip is better for bench press lockouts because you can add more weight to this pressing movement.
Best wishes to you my friend on your great progress
Thank you sir.
Great
Thank you.
Like to see the program setup for bp..
@@andrewp1998 Since hiring a coach we max out about every 6 weeks then drop down to 70% of the new max and start over. Every week after the bench portion of the workout he makes sure that we train the stabilizer muscle groups and changes these exercises weekly.
никогда нахуй не понимал нахера делать 1 повторение с большим весом …. Это для того чтобы просто потешить свое эго + порвать свои связки , растянуть свои мышцы и выть от боли ,бля хуёво как то но бля я поднял энное количество веса на 1 раз .Тьфу на вас кто таким занимается ,ребят не майтесь такой хуйней если вы не хотите заниматься профессионально пауэрлифтингом …
Good idea doing short video's 👍
Thank you sir.
That's great
That dude looks YOUNG for 64, he's in good shape
Well thank you. My birthday is this coming Saturday. I'll be 65 on the 16th.
@@fitman046eHappy 65th Birthday Steven! Great work in this video as always. You’re an inspiration to me- I’ll be 65 in October. 👍
@@GYM-Tom Thank you sir. Having a coach is helping. He's able to correct my form and push me to be better.
You did a great job!! I'm happy for you that you met your goal!
Thank you Cindy. Now it's time to set a new goal. lol
Good stuff mate, well done. Outlifting most of the young whipper-snappers 😉👍
Thank you sir. Hopefully with now having a coach I'll continue to see improvement. Best wishes with your training.
@fitman046e I think if your coach keeps putting those sneaky wt increases on your lifts, you will be squatting 500lb in no time 🤣👍
@@dansmith9724 That would be excellent. I'm looking forward to seeing how far my coach can take me. I never had a coach, but I see how important it can be having someone that can assess my weaknesses and make corrections.
Things going really great there Stephen. Nice lifting!! What are your comp plans for this year?
Thank you Bill The Nationals are coming up in a couple months and I have registered to compete there and hopefully return to the World Championships in October. What about you Bill ? How's your training coming along and when will you be competing ?
@@fitman046e His Stephen, I'm hopefully going to compete at our nationals in June (injuries permitting), and then we'll see about Worlds, that depends on a number of factors beyond my control. My biggest goal for the year is to try and squat 200kg by the end of the year
@@billwestwater3098 Squating 200kg would be an excellent weight for our age and weight division. I'm hoping that I get a chance to return to the Worlds this year. Last year I knew that I was still a year away from being competitive, plus when I got there I was dealing with an injury. I'm hoping things work out for the both of us, it would be good to see you again my friend.
@@fitman046e Yes, it would be great to go to World's again, Competition for a place is much stiffer for me this year. Like you, if I go again I'd like to be a bit more competitive. We shall see. Good luck Stephen!☺
Way to go brother, inspiring!
Thank you sir.
Looking real good Steve
Thank you Fred. I think hiring the coach will pay dividends.
Good job baby! ❤
Thank you baby.
when you started with 130 and 225 i was like cap. i can tell you can do more.
I'm still learning as I go. Just recently learned how to keep my elbows from flaring out by pretending to bend the bar. Hope that makes sense.
@@fitman046e ah. my main thing for me is just how far down should i let the bar go. it doesn't feel right on a smiths machine to let it touch my chest honestly so i usually bench above that by an inch or 2. i see people usually want the full range of motion though so not really sure what "counts" as a full bench. i bench mainly for my chest and not for my back so i lay mostly flat.
@@Some_Idiot_Online It really depends on what you want to achieve. If you want to develop your chest there are many exercises that you can do without even getting on the bench that will give you the same benefits. If you're wanting to improve your bench then technique is very important. With elbows in the bar should come down below your chest in a natural motion. Leg drive is very important and beneficial when done correctly. Believe it or not strengthening your back and shoulders will really help too. Good luck with your training and stay safe.
@@fitman046e thanks m8
Are you natty?
I'm sorry, but what does natty mean ? When I looked it up this is the definition that I got. Natty means current in style, both of dress and manners.
I am almost 70, 175 pounds and bench 235 on a good day ... have no idea where that puts me as I am just a recreational lifter.
There is a site I use to determine where I stand along side my peers for squat bench and deadlift. It's a powerlifting calculator and based on the info you gave me it shows that you would be in the top 2% for your age and weight with a # 235 bench press.
@@fitman046eWow -thanks. Much appreciated.
Its bench press The end
Steven, your message here is Important to all of us Seniors- hiring a coach can help you improve your skills in your favorite sports and help you to enjoy them more. I did this for golf a few years ago, and my scores improved by 8 to 10 strokes per round- FUN! It can work for Running, Tennis, Pickle ball, Swimming, or whatever activities you enjoy. I may also do it for weight training in the near future. You’re already an inspiration for me, Steven! I’m looking forward to seeing your progress. Tom
Thank you Tom. I feel blessed that I am able to encourage others no matter what extra curricular activity they choose. Hope you're doing fine Tom. I just registered for this years Nationals which will be the third weekend in May. Hopefully the coaching will pay dividends.
Hey Stephen, good move it seems. It's just finding someone you can get on with. I have been thinking of hiring one since Worlds, but just haven't got round to it. Hope it all works out for you
Hey Bill, How's your training coming along ? Can you believe that 58 year old woman squatting 188K for triples and 215K for a single rep ? I was pleasantly surprised. I would love to be able to squat that much.
@@fitman046e Yes, it is amazing. I would too!! Mind you, begs the question; why doesn't she compete? That must be over the world record at whatever IPF M2 weight class she would be in
@@billwestwater3098 She does compete but not in the IPF. She competes in the USPA and holds a World record. My coach told me that he first started coaching her 5 years ago and at that time she was squatting around 102K.
I will be using bdywt push-ups, pull-ups, chin-ups and dips for my assistance work and bodyweight cardio.
Your chest is impressive 💪🏿💪🦍🦬🤎🔥💣
Thank you sir.
I am 64 yrs young and luckily i am working towards a even feet-up cgbp and thumbs-length inclined-bench pre$$. I never flat bench with feet on floor. I use 2 grips for all benching and pre$$ing the thumbs-length and knurl@smooth grips. My chest is thick as fuck for a 175lbs male at 5ft7" short guy lol!!. My goal is 225lbs x 10 on thumbs-length inclined-bench pre$$ by birthday on July 14, 2024. I am currently at 150 x 10 in thumbs-length inclined-bench pre$$.
Isolating the chest is much harder because you don't have any leg drive. Proper leg drive is important for increasing the amount of weight you lift. With that said elevating your legs off the floor will isolate your chest more, so it doesn't surprise me that you have a very thick chest. Keep up the good work and stay safe while training.
Great lift. You really are keeping that strength going. Great form!!!
I never hired a coach before. This is my first day with my coach. He had me change my feet placement wider because that's the way I squat. This little adjustment gave me more leg drive. He believes that he can help me improve by 20% in the 3 compound movements. Keeping my fingers crossed. Thank you for the comment.
@@fitman046e And thank you for the tip, I'll try this out this evening....
@@Procharmo I think it works if you squat wide, but it may not work if you squat shoulder width apart.
Awesome 👌
Thank you.
Using belt and getting help from spotter doesn't count get this weak as sht out of hear
Good stuff
Thank you.
Bro you don’t need a belt for bench just stop lifting your torso
Most people use the belt to remember to brace their core when lifting, but thank you for the comment.
🥳
Not looking to cause and argument but......... Oh never mind!
@@fitman046e agreed.
💯💯💯
👍
Hi Steven! I’m glad to see you’re still “going Strong”. I finally joined a public gym (yesterday), after going thru 6 mole removals which required stitches, restricting my workouts. I have the slingshot and I’ll try it out in a few weeks. I enjoyed the video!👍
Remember to take your time as you return and don't attempt to come back too fast. Enjoy the journey Tom. Glad to hear that your able to start training again.
@@fitman046e Thank you, Steven! Will do.
