Today I attempted a new 1RM on the bench. Here are the attempts.
Attempt 1 - 295lbs Good Lift (no problem)
Attempt 2 - 305lbs Good Lift
Attempt 3 - 315lbs Miss
Attempt 4 - 315lbs Miss
As with squats I use no supportive equipment (nor do I use a stunt double). 305lbs went up slow but I had a good pause at the bottom. 315lbs really ticked me off. I was almost past my sticking point. If I would have travelled another CM higher it would have went up. Maybe next time. My second attempt at 315lbs was not so pretty. It came down and stayed down. I couldn't even get it off my chest. Lucky for me I had a good spotter. Thanks Ryan. I'll take tomorrow off and hit the deads the next day. I'm really looking forward to these. Hey Brock, this time I'll take 250kg for a ride.

You have the strength to do 250kg. Choose your warm ups and attempts wisely, saddle up and PULL!
As for the Bench, triceps, triceps, triceps. Hit these babies hard and the Bench will move. Have you incorporated any Overhead Pressing this cycle? As you know this helped me a lot.
Good Luck tomorrow.
Brock
