I’m still rehabbing the back, it’s close to being 100% but not quite yet...
Bench has been going good though. Shoulders getting sore from the volume.

Rehurt my bad shoulder over the summer and stopped everything heavy until 2 weeks ago. I have some new very strong work out partners so it's going to be long process to be anywhere near them but I'm going to try. Flat bench yesterday 225 x 12 warm up then 315 for 5 for 4 sets. Incline 225 x 10 for 3 sets the 275 for 4 to finish.

Did you hit your 405iirc before you hurt your shoulder Evan?

I’m hoping to try for 405 by the end of the summer.

Found me a new partner right with me on weight but more important I have a spotter. Pushed me to a 405 squat Friday for a single and 315 for 4 sets of 3 on flat bench today. Literally benched ran the rack on curls and did tries and left. Powerlifyerz workout. Bench and arms one day, squats and deadlift the next and back to chest and arms. Dude is strong.

395 was my best hurt myself shortly after everyone I'm working out with now reps 405 so if I can stay healthy I should get there.

Nice bud! It’s good to have a training partner sometimes. I train with Jesse every once in awhile but he’s so far out of my league I think I just get in his way

Nice, stay healthy. Hopefully we can both hit the 4 plate bench club sooner than later:thumb:

So by the end of the year the goal is 4 plates for the 3 of us.

Sounds good to me, I should be within 50 pounds I havent done a max day in a long long time.

If I'm feeling good I'm going to see where I am at Monday for 1rm I'm thinking only 355 or so at the moment.

Never cared for decline Chris. I did it for a year or so and didn’t notice much of a gain for my flat bench. Can post a video of your bench for me?

I haven’t flat benched anything over 135 in 4 months. Lol Most of the time it’s 95 for close grip. It’s an exercise I have no desire to add weight to. I’ve been doing lots of body weight stuff for chest day. Decline feels better. I was just wondering how effective it is or if I’m wasting my time.

 

[sickdiesel]

i unfortunately cant really do BB bench stuff anymore. my shoulder just wont do it.I did a few weeks ago to see where things were and did 335 fairly easily but have no desire to go higher and hurt anything again. I stick to DB chest exercises and my shoulder doesnt hurt at all.

I think I'm right there with ya

 

[zf>allison]

I did 5 sets of 365 for 3 reps and 405 for 2 on squats today. A ton of leg extensions and hit the road lol.

Just maxed on flat bench, nice smooth 355. Weighed myself on 3 scales they all said right at 256 pound body weight.
