Earlier this month, I competed at CPU Nationals, placing second in the 63kg open category with an 825 lb total, just one pound behind first place.
With the guidance of Steve Goggins, I am in pursuit of greatness, both on and off the platform.
Well it seems adding in a day of Shoulder Saver benching REALLY helped with my recovery for this weeks heavy bench day! The plan was originally to bench with 155 on my top sets, but the weight felt like warm up weight. I messaged Goggins, but the reception in my gym can be terrible, so it wasn't until I was setting up for incline press that I got his message to do another set at 165. Now, what's even more amazing is that even 165 felt very fast, faster than even 155.
Bench 95x8 125x5 140x3 155x6x3 165x6
