Kory has made steady progress in all of his lifts over the last few years. He appears to be headed to some more new territory in the Bench Press. On Friday afternoon (April 6) Kory came into the gym ready to try his new Inzer Douoble Denim (velco back). He said he was going to go mid 500's. I saw him warm to 405 with no shirt. Put his shirt on then go straight to a three-board press of 495. Super easy! Then to 525 with two boards and a little shim. Blasted it! Then to 550 with no boards----about two inches from his chest. Another strong blast! He called for 585, in an attempt to reach his chest with the new shirt! Extremely well controlled explosion, about 1/2 inch from the chest! Now 605!!!!!!!!!! Kory eased the weight down ever so slowly and just as the weight began to settle, touching his right pec first, a few stitches in the right shoulder seam popped and Kory immediately thrust the weight up! No problem! What a lift and there was still room for more!!! If Kory hits the same groove and settles the bar for a press command, watch out!!!!!!!
Kory very impressive workout!!!!!! That's the most I have ever seen in a gym in 22 years! Good Luck in your final preparations!
