Your hitting your back pretty hard the day before bench, what about switching the days?

2000 iirc dodge intrepid, the windows are semi broken, and one of my doors doesn’t open.

I ended up with a POS compared to my old car. I wish they would of forced her to pay repairs. I realise how lucky I am to have a car, however I had a sweet car that was as good as new, and now I have a car that drives great, but everything from the speakers to the doors sucks ass.

I’ve thought about it, and it would put deadlifting and squats that much closer, and they are by far much mor eimportant lifts.

hmmmm, for the bench, try to not do more than a single once u get to 185 in weight if u want to do heavy singles, also u might have to do more rep work to pac on chest/frontseide muscle to have more to work with, i know it helped me alot i did 4x10 on bench a while back for about a month and it snapped me out of my stalled streak

gl

today:
deadlift
315x2
365x1
425x1PR

It was epic, A fast pull at the beginning, and stalling out at the thighs, I let out a beatly roar, and kept pulling till lockout.

335x4

I’l be working on it a lot. It’s deffinately my weak point.

today:
bench
I pretty much worked up to, and missed 205. I feel liek I’m never going to win here.

DB overhead press
5x5 with 40s

tri extentions (idr weight)

machine flys because I had time.

Maybe try coming away frm singles for a while and nail 5’s and 3’s and doubles? just an idea

yeah, that sounds like a good idea. I might press on mondays now instead. My back and bis were fried and I think that affected it.

Good luck with the DL record, it’ll be yours in no time.

As Ronnie Coleman would say “ain’t nuttin but a peanut”

I’m taking today and tomarow off. My legs are still fried, my upper back is fried, my shoulders and biceps are also fried. I want to be as close to 100% as possible so I can pull 435 on monday.

You ever try inclining or declining bench??? Sometimes a little change can break a plateu. I switched over to decline bench a couple of weeks ago and I have made progress on my bench for the first time in a LONG time… Now i feel like 300 is right aorund the corner.
Just my 2 cents. Keep up the training.

How are you doing these? Lying sideways on a bench with a dumbbell, or standing and using a cable? If DB’s then I am impressed!!
