You can also try to press of the pins in a power rack. Set it up so the bar is on the pins as close to your chest as possible. Let the bar settle on the pins before pressing back up. Im a big fan of this sort of training for plateau busting. [/quote]

If this is true stick to the 8-12 rep range and don’t worry so much about what your max is. If you decide to fool around and max out that’s cool but work up like I wrote above. Good luck next time![/quote]
Even though I said both these things before, listen to these two things.[/quote]
This is a general good advice, but exclusive 8-12 rep range did not give me any goods results past my first year of training and I feel it harder on my joints.
The 5-6 reps range, heavy is the way to go for me personally to progress, especially om the big lift. I’m still including high rep range stuff at the end of my workout. But I would say, 2/3 is in the 5-6 rep range and 1/3 in the 8-10 rep range, sometime up to 15-20 for some very specific exercises.

Your nutrition might need an overhaul as well…[/quote]
Right now I’m “recomping” slowly (since the beginning of the year).
I eat 8 once of meat with veggies 3 time a day + the Anaconda protocol (3 scoop Anaconda + 2 FINiBARs).
I gained strength and muscle and lose 19 lbs on my total weight in this period. It may be even more because I have build muscle for sure, I’m stronger and look more muscular.
Mental. As a kid I couldnt bench 315 with three 45lb plates on each side. Then I loaded the bar with two 45’s one 25 and two 10’s and nailed it. There are a lot of good tips above on how to fix this, just don’t try them all at once. This is a battle for the long haul. Now figure out which ONE tip you’re gonna do, and DO it. It might take a few weeks or more but let us know what happens. Or you just might get it by fixing your ramp up. By the way, how many times have you missed 275?

2 times, but I’m pretty sure I found what was going wrong (Look at one of my last post). I’ll work on my form.
