With regards to the PR, I actually havent tried reps on 3 plates in the SS since I did the 2 SS reps before. It’s been almost a year since then. Everything was in my old bench and thread, that is now unfortunately gone.. For time reference, it was the same week Andrew Dube posted his 310 bench in his workout log.

Mike Rinderle Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 (edited) Blast from the past: Elbow sleeve wearin, touch n goin, feet slidin, spit flyin, 45 year old almost dyin, most I ever lifted, which makes me start cryin... BW about 270 . I was pulling 600 at this time, so I was the absolute strongest I had ever been. Took me forever and a month to get there. Tried for 350 several times and failed miserably and then got interested in other things for awhile and never really trained bench seriously again since. So, I think I'm pretty silly to even be thinking I have a shot at 375 but that's never stopped me before. Actually looking at how bad my form broke down and I was still able to finish it, I should have stayedat it to 350. Oh well. 330 a few days before was much cleaner. lol Edited February 20, 2020 by Mike Rinderle 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buccos1 Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 330 x 1 This one really aggravated my neck afterwards. If I'm going to keep trying to kick things up, I'm going to have to adjust my form to flatter-back and feet out to avoid worsening existing neck issues/pain. But, this is the most I've done raw in a few years I think. Bodyweight: 209 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
