Had a very good bench night, hit great numbers. Hit the first set raw just to make sure the numbers are matching up. The 300x5 felt very easy and light. 7 sets and it still felt fine the whole way... That's pretty good for me, I'm looking forward to trying for 365 in the gym, it'll be a few more weeks, Righ now I'm just going to keep the volume sky high, and raising the weight 10lbs a week... so far it's worked fine. Tonite was supposed to be 75%, I lowered it quite a bit a while ago, and I've slowly been working up ever since, but for a 400lb bencher, that was 75%... I don't think Im there, but I don't think I've ever been closer. My first rep of my last set was out of position, and pulled on my pec insertion really bad, so I just stopped the set... I would have gotten it. The first set straight weight thing has been going well and giving me a lot of confidence. The chain benching actually feels harder to me, but I can always push through it, I love the chains for teaching me how to strain through a lift, much better than having to go ater 90% to find out. The straight weight felt light as shit, Would have definitely gotten 7, 8 and 9 I don't know, not 10 though. Those are good numbers to hit with this weight.
Either way, I've been benching great with Dash lately, it's been good to be on his timing, everyone has been getting really good at benching lately.
