270 x 10 isnt considered “good numbers”???
what are you using for your bench max for the 531? were the reps touch n go?

165 - yeah, I mean I’m not thrilled with my chest, but it’s not my priority. Gaining some confidence back on chest pressing is.

Ahh, thought you were lifting with your boy. Dude, 270 for 10 is pretty strong. You’re your own worst critic brother. You’re stronger and in better shape than you give yourself credit for.
jeeeeez…
What are you predicting your 1RM bench to be?
God damnit, lol.
Greg - I’m using 315 for my training max. What are you using? I know I’m good for more, prob in the neighborhood of 350, but Wendler recommends (for obvious reasons) that you use something 10%~ lower. 315 is a weight I feel very very confident I could smoke any day, any time, so I’ll start conservatively and go from there. Yeah, reps were touch and go.
WhiteFlash - thanks man. I know I’m harsh on myself, but you have to consider that 2 years ago (!!!), I was putting up comparable numbers, even though I weighed somewhere in the 215-220 ballpark. If you look at my old youtube videos there is a video from 9/2009 that is kind of embarrassing for me to watch, but I bench 275x9+1 (with shitty ass form). Still.
And not that 270x10 is horrible. Like I said, my goal was to get 10 reps. I thought about it all day, envisioned the set, and came ready to bring the noise. Was very happy that I got it. It’s hard to swallow your ego and really accept that you are significantly weaker than you used to be. But I look the best I ever have, and I will figure out how to get stronger without becoming a fat mess. Thanks for the support. Bench videos soon.
Dasher - like I told Greg, I’m using 315 as my training max (last time I hit 315 I think I got 4 reps). I miss when I was a fatty and could bench 405. 
WHAT U BENCH BRAH??
I’m pretty excited for leg day tomorrow. I’m gonna squat relatively fresh, which I haven’t done in awhile, go for a heavy 3-5, see where I’m at. I’m not jumping on the 5/3/1 for squat yet, but I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s what I end up doing. Definitely going to give it a go for shoulder press as well.
Ha…try being a girl. Theres no hope for bench! Good thing approximately zero of the guys I have dated in my entire life have given a damn about my 1RM bench.
That aside, I have just hopped ship onto 5/3/1 for the last coupla months. I have a PL meet on the 10th and I think the gains between my last meet (2ish months ago) are impressive.
Dasher, I DO care about what your 1RM is.
Dude, I feel you. I guess probably 4 years ago now I was taking a pro-hormone, was a shade under 190, benched 315 for a deuce and was overall much bigger and stronger. But, the amount of food I was having to put down just to maintain let alone gain SUCKED, I felt tired all the time and my body started to slowly break down. Not sure how old you are now [I’m 29], but the older I get the more I enjoy being lean, strong and feeling good, as opposed to just being big. And, 270x10 is strong as shit. Just from that alone I’m guessing your max is between 335 and 350. Good shit in here man.
If you invent a cure for polio calves…lemme know 'bout that shit.
Bench session looked solid as hell, good assistance work too. You’ll be 1rm’n 405 again in no time, as a non-fatty
dasher - maybe you didn’t get the memo, but the only people allowed to go to PC next year must be able to bench 225… sorry girl. :-/
Hairy - your macking skills in my log are unparalleled.
WhiteFlash - nothing like living in the glory days, eh? haha. I feel you on the having to eat so much to be strong as possible. That’s never really been a problem for me, but my frame can handle a lot more mass than I’m carrying I think. Where’s your bench at these days? and what are your goals anyways, for that matter?
Yeah, I’m guessing I’m good for something between 335 and 350. Hopefully by systematically picking away at the beloved bench press, I’ll end up well north of there.
ink - lol, obviously. the way my bone structure is set up, and total lack of growth on the outer portion of my lower leg, I think I’m doomed. Calf implants? if you go I’ll go. Thanks for the support though, you and everyone. If I could get up to the 405 range again in my current condition, I’d be pretty thrilled.
Legs in 3 hours. Gonna do some heavy squats and some other stuff. Yippee.

Dude, I’ll tell anyone who’ll listen how awesome I was, haha. Man, I’m only 172lbs right now and pause maxed at 245 on Monday. I’m guessing touch and go I’m good for 260-265 right now. I’ve had some gnarley knee injuries so I’m content staying anywhere below 180 [where my body feels best] and getting back up to a 3 plate bench. My goals are to dunk with 2 hands from a standstill again [at 5’9"], dunk in traffic again, bench 3 plates, box squat 5-hundo+ and just be lean, strong and look and feel good. I have a log here broham.
From looking at you, it looks like you could handle some more mass to me as well, but you’re pretty damn deezed as is. With another 15lbs at your current bf levels you’d be a fucking tank. You’d also be manhandling 4 plates, no questions asked.
Hlss—bullshit. If you cared about my athletic endeavors, you would be booking your flight for the mud wrestling match that is scheduled on September 11th.
Bug—damnit. Well, I’m 90lbs off…I’ll see what i can do between now and then.
Ok cool. I think I used 325 for my 1rm and then went 90% of that like the book says and so I’m working off of 295 right now. I’m not gonna deload next week and just bump my numbers and start a new cycle so I might work off of 315 then like you’re doing now.
I’m just starting a bit lighter to work on my pause for that meet. You’ll be back up to 405 soon
Calf implants, might have to look into 'em. That, or just wear 3 pairs of tube socks to give the impression that they’re bigger than they are. Or just wear pants. Or maybe I should try training them directly…there’s a thought?
Dasher, are you involved in said mud wrestling match.
Bug, you benched 405? Holy smokes.
affirmative. I feel like I mighta sent you a FB invite about it. If not, Im sowwy.
/hijack
Dasher, I’d like to use this venue to ask you something.
“Would you marry me?”
PS Bug, 270 x 10 is huge. Don’t beat yourself up. What would you rather have - a 405 bench, or a raging hawt bodddddd? You’re like a better looking version of Zoolander. So hot that you could replace Helen of Troy and get Greek men to start a war over you. So hot that you need a lens or telescope to even be looked at. You get the point.
The amount I miss in like two days of being AFK… lol. Awesome video and sick rack pulling, I wouldn’t mind seeing what I can put up for a few on a rack pull as it would be nice to hit up 5PPS just for teh egos (and back width… I guess). Bench session is pretty damn awesome too, good luck with getting back to roughly your strongest pressing numbers, I’m sure you can manage it. In the meantime I will try and at least close the gap SLIGHTLY… after all 230~ > 300 should be quicker then 350 > 400 right? lol…
ALSO: Jelly of your luscious beard, whilst I might have you on teh calf genetics there’s no chance I’m getting a mane of such quality anytime soon… I’ve heard that’s good as I shouldn’t bald as early? Thoughtz?

wtf?
Anywho, to answer the question in my log…
Mondays are heavy bench, just playing around with and rotating through various heavy bench variations, followed by tris, chest, and shoulders.
Tuesdays are deadlift and hamstrings, the deadlifts are preset weight each week (using the coan phillipi deadlift plan).
Wednesday is back and biceps, generally high rep since I just pulled the day before.
Thursday is chest shoulders and tris with an emphasis on hypertrophy and shoulder rehab/prehab.
Friday is squats and quads, right now doing box squats against bands, with leg press etc afterwards.
Saturday is back and biceps, generally a little heavier weights/lower reps.
Sunday is Sunday Funday cardio, or completely off, depending on how I am feeling.
Dasher - that’s pretty cool you’re doing a PL meet. We’ll need vids… meet vids, training vids, etc, so we can make sure that your, uh, squat is deep enough.
greg - oh nice man. If you use 315 as your max then we will really have some competition ;). Could be fun, Mr. Headband! god benching 405 again would feel great. Would love to do it sometime this year, but that might be pushing it.
Ink - yeah, train them mofos. I train mine as often as I have time for (at least 3 times a week), and still no dice. you might have better luck though.
hlss - yes i did! and like i’ve said many times, i’d rather be sexy then a chubster putting up big numbers, BUT even better would be to have both. 
Jake - welcome back mate! you’re right, the gap should be closed, but i’m gonna do everything in my power to not let that happen.
Dixie - thanks for the response bro. Seems quite sensible.
