Feel free to ask questions and motivate one another; a unified team is a strong team. It is encouraged that you post form videos so to receive feedback. It is imparative that you bench with proper form, and in doing so you will improve much quicker. That being said, here are some helpful bench articles & videos to learn from:

I thought Snitz was a team captain? You mean you, me, Snitz, and WL are all on the same team????

Is that Inglorious Bencher domination I smell?

That Dave Tate article completely changed the way I view benching form. I'll be testing it out Wednesday.

AND, to get this cleared up. Are we supposed to post all of our workouts in here? Or just our bench workouts? I've never done a contest like this before.

Ath: Snitz had sand in his vagina so Oblivian took over. Snitz replaced Oblivian's spot on our team.

No, not all your workouts. If you make a PR on bench I think you post it...I'm not sure. Someone please clarify this.

You better get back to 3 plates, btw ;)

Oh, I expect it to shoot back up. Especially with proper form.

I'm aiming for 315 at the end of the contest, and I think I can hit it.

Hey guys...good luck. In the spirit of good-sportsmanship I thought I'd offer you a great tip. Remember to keep your elbows OUT when benching, as this will help activate the 'secret' head of your deltoids.
