Bench day with video

Week 2 of USAPL bench nationals prep

I adjusted my training max down to account for the long meet cycle I just did. My last cycle was based off a 530 bench. I'm working off 495 for the next few weeks into nationals. I just did 495 for a double and two singles last week but I have 10 lbs to loose come meet day. 10 lbs with a 2 hr weigh in to be exact and strength will without a doubt drop. To avoid over training my goal is to smoke my weights and be fresh for the meet. Grinding is only welcome on everything else lol.
