Thank you BRother Brutus!!! Wraps, I do not have any pain at all, just wonderin if I really need them I guess!!!

Really happy w/ todays w/o!!! The Bench felt REALLY Solid, hoping for around 345 or maybe even 350 for a max single attempt next week!!! Then I will have 1 day of doing MAX lifts on all the Big 3 movements after next weeks attempts, and then take a week off, go on my Cruise, WHOO HOO!!! Then when I get back will be starting over at around 70% of max lifts for another go around!!!
Also, I want double digits in ALL secondary work, so until I HIT at least 10 on the first mini-set, there will be NO increase!!! Trying to be intelligent about this, LOL!!!

Dude, awesome progress. With 335 x 2 BP with good form, I'd say a 350-355 single is a done deal.

Bakerboy · 04-05-2007, 07:52 PM

Great job!!!!

Pylon · 04-05-2007, 08:01 PM

Hey, I think there is a typo there. It says you are using 405 to warm up.

That is a typo, right?

Brutus_G · 04-05-2007, 08:43 PM

Excellent workout!

Malley · 04-06-2007, 10:43 AM
