Honestly I’m just feeling out the volume and weights for it. I’ve noticed I can handle more upper volume than lower and still gain. So I push the upper intensity and volume a bit. I am working to press 225 for 10+ reps in a set. So this week it the first time I’ve gotten over 10 reps of 225 in a workout. The set of 10+ will come

Congrats!
Your squat is rapidly pulling away from me too. You’re doing reps with my max, ya jerk!

Boooooom nice work man. Looks like you need to rethink your impossible

Hmmm.
Lifetime goals:
OHP: 265
Bench: 405
Squat: 585
Dead: 675
I’ll get too old before I ever hit those numbers…
I did have a coach I work with tell me I would never bench 405 in my lifetime. I simply replied…”oh yeah, think so huh”.

I think you could bench 335 right now. I bet that you’d slay 3 plates real quick if you worked with someone on your technique. Your OHP says you should have that now. I think a little time with someone who knows how to get the most out of your current strength via technique/skill would surprise you.
Seeing your progress has me questioning my squat. I just don’t understand it. 350 feels so heavy to me. It’s definitely my nemesis.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news but those goals may not mesh with your body fat goal.

Dang, you beat me to 5 plates! I’m close, but I won’t be trying a 1RM until after competitions in November and December. Of course, you’re utterly crushing me on bench… Nice work, man!

I did the same thing last year! I wanted 5 plates and after I got it I thought about an even 500 lbs. I got it this year and then some though.
It leaves him room to hit another PR and milestone soon though.
