I've been feeling pretty strong and my bodyweight is up around 226, which is really good for me. I lift at 220 and usually walk around a pound or two lighter than that. I am planning on competing at Lexen December 2nd, so I am hoping to get my bodyweight up a couple more lbs and add some strength. This session my plan was to hit a heavy triple, 385x3 was my PR going in to this workout.

Bench Press: barx10 135x10 225x5 275x4 315x3 365x3 390x4

I could have gotten a couple more, but I had no liftoff and no spotter. I didn't want to ruin this PR by humiliating myself by getting stapled on a rep I didn't really need to do.

Dropsets: 365x4 315x15

Accessory work: Pin Press vs mini bands doubled over 225x3 x 2 sets 275x3 x 2 sets 295x3 315x3

A few weeks ago I did the same exercise, same set up and 275 was tough. the 315 was a grinder, but an improvement.

DB Tri Rollbacks 5x10 - Heavy 100 Cable face pulls to finish it off.
