got in SDP all work done off 3 board
455x2
500x1
550, got out of the groove, touched too low, couldnt get it off the board.
550 again, pressed good, after I racked it the guys said I diddnt fully lock out my right arm. I thought I was locked and held the weight at the top. Ill take it though, good press, first time over 500

Strong benching!! I'm gonna order me a either a Super Duper Phenom or 2ply Rage X in the next week or so.

either way, you could be getting so much more. For me at least in the past, if I could press it off a board, I could press it off my chest, so we will see what happens

Yea I'm now thinking the newer poly is strong then the Denim is.
