    Re: Off-season training

    Had a great training session last night:

    2/8/2012

    Bench Press

    5x135
    3x185
    2x225
    1x255
    3x275
    3x275
    2x300 <-- Rep PR!!
    2x300
    1x310 <-- PR!!!
    1x315 <-- Big PR!!!!

    I was surprised I got 2x300, then surprised I got it again. After all of the volume, I didn't expect to get 310, but it was quick & easy. So I decided to go off the reservation & try 315. After hitting 315, I was too stoked to complete the workout, so no assistance work today.

    Somewhere down the line, you oughtta think about doing a powerlifting meet, just for yucks. Your lifting gains these past 5-6 months are huge.
