After having set an all-time PR on my equipped bench press with 457lbs, I'm now in off season mode getting back to some heavy training while running my gym, THIRST.

This is the beginning of a new training cycle I'm labeling as "Conjugate-Building". My goal is to use the conjugate method with my bench press, while building some solid muscle via hypertrophy bro splits. I'm going to slowly play with my squat and deadlift and see what kind of progress I can make with them. This has been an ongoing battle for two years now, so I'm not exactly sure what to expect, but I'm going to continue to keep trying to do what I can.

Overall, the training day was pretty simple, but it was enough to give me an idea of where I'm currently sitting, and what I can expect for the next 3-4 months. Looking forward to see what I can push on my bench press now that I'll be back to that for the next training session.
