Decline bench 60x10 100x10 140x5 150x5 160x5 165x3 170x2 170x4 pb I've not done these for a while, I think everything over 150 was a pb, felt a lot better than on flat bench Bench 100x30 - pb I do this every so often, I think my pb was 23 SLDL DOH no belt 60x10 100x8 140x5 160x3 180x1 - wanted 3, grip failed Mixed Grip belt on 180x3 200x3 Felt hard, I need to up this next week, been on 200 for a while now. Front Squat 40x10 60x10 80x8 100x5 120x3 140x1 155x1 - pb Total grinder, my form went to st, but I hit depth and stood up with it Weird session tonight, I felt like f**king off home when I missed a double 190 on bench and then missing a treble on 180. Stuck with it though and did some pretty decent sets after. Back to work from tomorrow so I'll be back to my normal routine again.

Getting fat is just as dumb as using PED's Member 3387, 2532 posts SQ 275, BP 200, DL 290 765.0 kgs @ 114kgs UnEq	You need 2 weeks off bench mate,still train chest but do some db work then start a rep cycle at 140 and work up.

You down Junction tomorrow? Me and Sob will be down normal time for some strongman stuff Should be down as normal, see you there.

I've never really taken it easy on bench, just kept hammering it at 90 - 95% for 5's and 3's, it seems to have worked in the past. I have been doing some pretty brutal work on it recently though and I seem to be suffering now, a change / rest might be good.

I have been for the last year or so, I found on once a week progression just slowed to a crawl. On a Monday I'll have my heavy day and on a Thursday I try to get in a bit more volume.

I know what you mean, I always feel pushed for time, you can add an extra bench set without it taking too long though. For example if you were just to add a few warm up sets then into 6 - 8 sets of 5 reps at 70 - 75% then you should be able to do it with only about a minute rest between each set. total time about 10 minutes and you've added a pretty solid bench set to your week.

Yeah I might do something like this then! Nice deads and strong squatting, 260 x 3 should give you more than 270 now though..maybe 280+ I reckon
