Because i have tried several different training techniques, and this is the one that i feel gives me the most progress in my current situation. Once i plateau using this i will change it, but i dont see any point in doing loads of reps if i can get the exact same progress doing it this way. All of the guys i train with do singles then reps on assistance and technique work and they seem to be progressing fine as well.

Been away from a computer for a few days, heres saturdays session

Bench
1 x 10 20kg
1 x 10 40kg
1 x 5 70kg
1 x 2 90kg
1 x 1 100kg
1 x 1 110kg
1 x 1 115kg
1 x 1 125kg shirt on 3 board
1 x 1 135kg 2 board
1 x 1 145kg 1 board
1 x 1 155kg touch - fast and easy
1 x F 165kg about an inch (or less) from lockout, pissed off about this...

Shirted 4 board
1 x 5 120kg
1 x 3 140kg
1 x 1 160kg
1 x 1 170kg
1 x 1 180kg

With a little lockout work i think my shirted bench is going to increase quickly. I experimented with putting it on slightly differnetly and it paid off, much more speed off the chest and supports a bit higher in the movement, so hopefully a big PB coming in the next few weeks.

Lot's of red lately, and that 170k isn't legal is it, feet weren't flat on floor?

Lots of reds, allthough most are borderline and due to fatigue - 120 was very close today, after doing 7 singles at 96% and another at 100% spotter just touched the bar at sticking point and it went up fine - i am quite happy with it. Just because it was a failed rep doesnt mean it wasnt valuble training, lowering it slow and controlled and pressing it to sticking point is also beneficial. Also lots of equal PBs and new PBs - still making great progress.

Its not legal by IPF rules, but is in other federations that dont require feet to be flat on the ground - as long as they dont move around and your arse stays on the bench its generally fine.

True, but IMO too much at 100% and just below is taxing the CNS too much, hence "failure due to fatigue"

I thought you were a Scottish Powerlifting boy through and through like Steel...
