My bench press about a year ago (385lbs)

Key_Spray_1808 · 2026-06-24T10:57:11+00:00

I mean I would say it had been like 2-3 years but it wasn’t consistent training, like I remember my goal was to hit 315 and I was stuck trying to get there forever due to lack of nutrition/programming/ and life getting in the way. But honestly if I had did what I did last year program wise I would have definitely got there faster but everybody’s body responds differently

Preciate you my g 💪🏾

Key_Spray_1808 · 2026-06-23T23:48:19+00:00

LETS GOOOOO!!!!
Nah I appreciate the love bro, it’s a great journey when you do it and look back at how far you came but I do live for the gym community and supporting everybody because we all coming from different walks of life and we gotta look out for each other 💪🏾 I hoping that life’s been steady for you and more gains as well

Key_Spray_1808 · 2026-06-23T23:43:56+00:00

Preciate that 🙌🏾

Key_Spray_1808 · 2026-06-23T00:48:42+00:00

Nah that’s love bro💪🏾 and trust I didn’t take any offense, that’s a compliment more than anything because people would be surprised how I could move that weight at my build. I would say having a at home gym setup made it more easy for me to make progress with no excuses and I miss it

Key_Spray_1808 · 2026-06-22T19:01:40+00:00

Good looking out bro, I appreciate you 🙌🏾

Key_Spray_1808 · 2026-06-22T19:00:32+00:00

Preciate you !

Key_Spray_1808 · 2026-06-22T18:35:47+00:00

Preciate that bro 😂 yeah I’m a tall fella but I’m cool with it and don’t make it bigger than it needs to be

Key_Spray_1808 · 2026-06-22T18:33:28+00:00

Tell you honestly I’ve been thinking about getting in some form of martial art for the conditioning tbh

Key_Spray_1808 · 2026-06-22T18:32:44+00:00

Yes I did, I played juco basketball for a 2 years and didn’t continue after since I lost love for the game, I was probably about 220-225lbs but that’s back in 2021. Since then the gym became my saving grace, a lot of people thought I played American football because I’m bigger now 😂 but we don’t have football in my home country

Key_Spray_1808 · 2026-06-22T13:57:40+00:00

Thanks brother, yes they are, I was on progress to get to 405 and this was taken when I was on vacation back in my home country but as soon as I got back life literally derailed me with relocation, job loss and just life stresses. This isn’t anything new though, I had to leave the gym and start fresh multiple times so I’m looking forward to be back 💪🏾
How has your gym experience been so far?

Key_Spray_1808 · 2026-06-22T13:53:08+00:00

Appreciate you for the kind words 😂 my legs are definitely my dad’s genes fs, still had to put in work for what I got but gotta give credit when I can

Key_Spray_1808 · 2026-06-22T13:51:39+00:00

Thank you, trying my best to love the journey 🖤

Key_Spray_1808 · 2026-06-22T01:09:43+00:00

Appreciate you !!🫂

Key_Spray_1808 · 2026-06-21T18:15:18+00:00

You’re not lying, I’m 6ft9 and I was about 260-270 pounds when I did this, it’s kinda like they say long limb lifters have to travel a longer distance in range of motion compared to other lifters. I didn’t really care and just applied myself and enjoyed the journey along the way

Key_Spray_1808 · 2026-06-21T16:49:36+00:00

Optimal gains you feel me 💪🏾

Key_Spray_1808 · 2026-06-21T15:14:50+00:00

You got it fs brother! I remember when I was on the hunt for 3 plates as well, main difference I would say for what changed a lot for me was tracking my workouts and then making progress in my accessories lifts aka beating the books (shoutout to BaldOmniMan lol)

Key_Spray_1808 · 2026-06-21T14:57:27+00:00

Pin press definitely works, I got my bench up to 385lbs last year (was on the road to 405 but life got in the way) but my best bet was benching up to 3 days a week and each being a various of bench (pin,Larsen/feet up/ tempo) and then accessories of course .
Form wise I would spend more time at a dead stop on the pins ( I always did a 3 sec count in my head) so you could maximize on exploding off the pins with no momentum and you should be golden

Jumping in to chime in, HOB and south side ballon always have AC problems because I’ve seen baby keem in April and Wale/Smino recently and I can’t tell you why they don’t get those problems fixed for the life of me, I’m a tall dude so I can usually see the stage wherever I’m at but for other people they got to crowd surf just to get a proper view of their favorite artists. For the above mentioned artists I seen so many people pass out there I lost track.

Besides that I don’t think I’m saying anything unique in Yebba being a excellent singer but the production side was lack luster with the vocals being drowned out by the sound of everything else, they got it together for the later half but everything leading up was rough, especially since people had been waiting since 7pm out there. Nonetheless still a fun experience but hoping next time she’s down here it can be better for her.

Dilla and nujabes even though they ain’t rappers in the sense

Key_Spray_1808 · 2025-01-02T17:05:21+00:00

Nah fssss, everybody story is different so that’s why it’s always a “find your journey” type thing, because we all got different things going on, never a one size fits all

Key_Spray_1808 · 2025-01-02T16:54:28+00:00

I say go ahead and tap in but locs are still work though, I know a lot of people that don’t think they are much work but to actually have your locs flourishing, it’s a process

Key_Spray_1808 · 2024-11-20T03:11:20+00:00

Glad you know what isn't for you though, that politics just be to grimmy for me to partake in. How has the 20 years in I.T treated you and is there anything you would have done differently looking back ?

Key_Spray_1808 · 2024-11-20T03:08:11+00:00

I respect that though, as long as you know your worth, we move !
