Never understood what bodyweight has to do with pressing a weight away from your body, pullups yes, should just be a set weight of say 90kg for reps

@Righty incline?

Not yet.
it would only really fit on a lower load, upper pump day but they fall on a Thursday when the benches are in heavy demand.

I tested my paused bench up to 160kg, then decided to try 115kg @113kg bodyweight.

Did the first set of 10 like it was nothing, then couldnt be arsed

It has given me a good idea for a bodyweight-based video challenge the whole forum could do mate - something that could
a) run for a while and be a great competition
b) decide once and for all who is the strongest pound-for-pound on this board
c) combine P/L and B/B rep ranges to cater for both (and provide a harness against both, too)

Will talk to Simon when he rises from his coffin.

Lifting in just a belt, knee sleeves and wrist wraps

Squat, bench, deadlift and any other weight on a bar type exercise done for a max single run through wilks will tell you who the strongest person is lb for lb on the forum. It's what is was designed for pretty much
