I never could do hook grip. To me, it hurts like a bitch and it feels weird to the point of distracting the lift. |

Most I have pushed raw on bench is 265 since getting back to the gym. PR before injuries was 315. |

Weight crept up to 240 currently within the past year, which is not where I usually am (usually am around 215-225).
Trying to slim down to 190-200 long-term, so focusing on changing what I put in my body (less alcohol and sweets) as well as exercise. With being 5'10", 240 is too much on me and I don't like the way I look. Was nice to bench 315 though. Will probably still lift twice a week just to get some reps. Would love to maintain my strength but doubt I will if I'm focusing on distance running. I hiked down and back in the Grand Canyon last year (18 miles total), which was pure hell. So, hopefully running a marathon isn't worse than that. |

Did you get the red slingshot or the blue one? I have the red one, but it's almost too strong. I can't even really feel anything until I get 225 on the bar. Also, the arm holes are too small...I don't huge arms or anything, but I figured that these things were made with thick powerlifters in mind. |

Well, good luck. I'd love a big long Grand Canyon hike and I would hate running a marathon more than anything. |

I’d love to hike the Canyon again, but I’ve never put myself through such physical hell. It was awesome, but last 2-3 miles with ice at the top was ass. |

It is tight. I got the next size up from what it recommended so it could be worse. |

I don't know much about your body composition but at 5'10" you really shouldn't be above 200 for your long-term health. You're better off slimming down than focusing on strength. |

I'm 5'11 185 right now and can bench around 290, working on getting back to 300 in the next month or so. And I'm also training for a marathon in November. Its a tough balance for certain but I've benched 300 and ran a 3:20 marathon in the same 6-8 month time period back in 2018 so hope I can do it again except in the same month this time. (5 years older as well ugh) |

Quality shoulder and trap session today. Other than I care barely lift arms high enough to feed myself now.
