lookin solid, i found out my bench now, ive been working with paused reps with 245, once i hit 6-7 ill bump it up to 255 its slow but it works well and you can see the progress if you wanna try it go for it, just mentioning cuz my bench was stalled for a while and i could hit 225x10 but my max wouldnt budge when i added reps to that

Had to bench today, because im busy until tuesday. Worked out at my house where I always do less weight. I think I can get atleast 11 at my school.
Dang man I wish I were that strong at 16! I’ve heard only good things about 5/3/1. Keep trianing hard and good luck.

I got the wrist wraps, and thought they would make a diffrence, but they didnt, I also got amonia caps. I got so pumped up I had a shitty setup, basically flat backed the set. The first 4 reps flew up, couldnt even feel the weight, then I hit 5, and lost my focus and gave up on 6. I wanted 8 so badly. Please god, tell me what I need to do to get my bench up.
I WILL PR on squats tomorrow.
good benching, good luck on squats man.
If you want to try a 6 week experiment . . . the peaking cycle that Verkhoshansky designed could be what you are looking for. It is detailed in the article “From Russia with Love” by Charles Staley. You might be able to run that cycle a few times in a fairly short span. If you are interested I will dig up some more information on it. But certainly finish up your current cycle and retest your max when rested before changing much of anything.
