Drove to London this Sunday to bench at Elitefts S4 Compound. I'm competing Sept 16 in a full power RPS meet. I've had a few set backs in my bench training during this training cycle but I'm finally starting to feel better and get some strength back. I only worked up to 405, but it felt really good. I've been making sure to hit a lot of warmup work to get some blood flowing before I lay down on the bench.
Bench: bar x 10 135x10 185x10 225x5 275x5 315x3 365x1 385x1 405x1

Here is Brandon Smitley demonstrating the JM Press with the safety squat bar. This is by far one of my favorite Tri movements.
