100KG BENCH PRESS!!!!

Sorry but I had to post this, I was messing around with some free weights on Friday before my salsa class (yes salsa), and managed a nice big 100kg bench press. For you guys in the US thats roughly 220lb. I can officially bench someone 30kg heavier than myself.

THE ISOMETRIC MACHINE IS HERE!!!

Yes people I finally made my Bruce Lee style isometric machine.



The idea is to set the bar at different heights on the chain to perform different exercises. e.g. set up just above shoulder level for a shoulder press. I then stand on the board and press/pull (depends on the exercise) as hard as possible. The beauty of the machine being that it gives an endless resistance (apart from the bar or chain breaking).
