This is the day I have been waiting on and hoped would come! Some 800 pound action to a 1board and close to 900 pound action to a 2board!

This was my goal several weeks back and slowly I have hit those goals. It has taken me 6 months to get back on track with my bench-press - raw and shirted. I have really taken my time and paced myself week after week. I have concentrated on my technique, my supplemental volume, precise movements to help benefit myself and the proper timing of hitting heavy sets and reps.

I am no way 100%. I am no way ready to bench 800 pounds. I am no way thinking that I can hit a straight weight competition pr of any kind. Not yet....

This old man aint dead yet....
