Max Effort Bench Press and Squats

I missed posting the other day. Both bench and squats went really well.

Max Effort Bench Press 

Light Stretches and Shoulder Mobility.

Rotator Laterals and Band Work.

Bench Press - 2 sets/12 reps/135lbs, 225lbs/8 reps, 315lbs/3 reps, 365lbs/1 rep, 365lbs/1 rep, 3 sets/1 rep/375lbs, 365lbs/2 reps.


Push Ups - 3 sets/20 reps.


I find Bench Press takes a while to warm up my CNS. I usually get stronger several working sets in.

Max Effort Squats

Leg Swings and Dynamic Stretches.

Squats (no belt) - 2 sets/10 reps/bar, 2 sets/8 reps/135lbs, 225lbs/8 reps, 315lbs/4 reps.

Squats (belt) - 365lbs/3 reps, 405lbs/2 reps, 425lbs/1 rep, 405lbs/1 rep.

Squats (no belt) - 225lbs/10 reps.

Much better than last ME Squat training all the way around. Next heavy day I think I'll keep to 405lbs and focus on form, control and dynamics.
