A little known fact... My first bench only competition I wore a bench shirt for the first time in competition and 365lbs buried me. I couldn't get the weight off my chest. This evening I did 365lbs RAW!!! No wrist wraps and no hand off. In fact, I feel like I'm good for 375lbs. Doug Hepburn you sure do know how to design training programs. Every week I get stronger and stronger. I dropped the pump phase a bit and worked the dynamic properties of the bench. I wonder what next week will bring.
