Crom vs. Thor - Week 1 - DB Bench Press

[gaspers04]

Ill admit guys the format threw me off a bit. 7rm is a bit confusing for me, I know, I am simple. It looks as if I should have grabbed some one hundos and cranked 'em out for volume.

Yeah confused me a bit too. Perhaps we should do it timed next time...

Well, it made me do an extra working set so all is good.

BigFiveFive = 100x13 = 1300
Mr. Silverback = 95x12 = 1040
Creechur = 100x11 = 1100
Bodybygamma = 100x15 = 1500
TOTAL = 7690

Team Crom:
5kglifter = 38.5x10x2 = 770 (both arms)
Carl1174 = 85x11 = 935 (per arm?)
Gaspers04 = 125x10 = 1250 (per arm?)
T-Bone = 65x10 = 650 (per arm?)
Storm1507 = 73x11 = 803 (per arm?)
DW = 100 x 7 = 700 (per arm)
TOTAL = 5108

Also, if DW did 100 lbs DBs for 7 reps, that's per arm, so...x2 = 1400 total poundage


Unless we're only counting one arm on the DB bench press?? Otherwise, all figures, given for single arm reps, need doubling. Obviously, both teams.

Did we win yet?

[Carl1174]

Mine was each arm too... so I need to double it....

I posted in this thread, 50 x 11, was this not where we were supposed to post? Taint much, but add that 550 / arm to the Thor 7690 and widen the gap. Even the weenie weights count!

Yeah, I ws trying to figure out how I could have lifted as much as the guys, then realised only one arm had been taken into account for quite a few, or all.

2 arms = 550 x 2 = 1100

[gaspers04]

Ugh...gonna load up 100lbs and see what I can do. Damn ego is bruised....lmao!

[Fazc]

Well I did 100lbs each arm for 6.

However I used some very oddly shaped Dumbbells so that should earn more points!

[BigFiveFive]

Not sure about the per arm thing, I see no need.

And the only reason I did 100's for 13 is because that's all my gym has or I wouldve went with higher weight DB's. Not sure how we're going to get around that.
