Everyone in contest chips in $10. Submit proof by 1/31/26. Best 3rd place lift wins so it doesn't go to a king dingaling type

[Edited on December 20, 2025 at 3:06 AM. Reason : Judging depends on entries. No king dingalings = no 3rd best lift]

My left shoulder pain has probably brought my 1RM down to 135 pounds. Should be good for third place.

If they're both better than you, that's third place, and you win!

yeah I'm out of this one. I can't barbell bench at all anymore due to torn rotator cuffs (mostly from a ton of heavy bench pressing when I was younger). Dumbells and machines only for me now, and even then I have to be careful/selective with what I do/not too crazy with the amount of weight.

Let's change the contest to complaining about the physical injuries of age. Third best complaint wins!

^^i haven't done barbell since starting lifting again. My left shoulder used to be the problem, now my right feels worse. I'd do barbell for the contest though.

So far no king dingaling types so we can go based on who does the most. Qfred with on point pic as usual.

I could barely bench the bar in HS. I got 3rd place locked up!

I just bench pressed 685 lbs

So you just sat down on a bench?

I bench somewhere between 185 and 205. My tiny gym doesn't have barbell bench but when it was back home I had access to one. I got 185, got 195 but my spotter might have helped, couldn't get 205

I'm gonna try it soon. Haven't done barbell in forever, but been lifting for almost 3 months now, eating better, etc. I honestly have no clue, I'd guess 195-225 but I really doubt 225

Just do push ups at this age dogg

My friend always has 115 racked on a barbell in his garage so I'll throw up some reps if I'm over there. Otherwise I just have dumbbells at home.
