Last week I was on the road shooting segments for a TV pilot.

I didn’t go totally off the eating plan, but my carbs were up.  I got back on my normal eating Sunday and had the usual headache.

I’ve gotten to the point I don’t mind the headache that much because I know what it means.

The brain loves carbs and sugars and will adapt up to increased carbs.  When they are reduced, it gets angry.  But then it adapts back down again.

I got 315 for 10 reps today.  Which puts my rep max at 421 Lbs. according to the calculator.

On the scale at the gym I weighed in at 210 pounds.  Not too shabby.

I am curious where I will plateau at.  I’m still not into uncharted territory.  I was about this strong on bench a couple years ago and just started benching again in December.

When I get above 350 for a few reps I’ll be in uncharted territory for me.

Yesterday I got 7 reps with 315 pounds on my first set of barbell flat bench.

The line graph on the rep max chart now looks totally absurd.

Last week I only got 5 reps with 315.  Next week I hope I’ll get even more.  But then I will increase the weight and the reps will go down bringing the calculated rep max down.

It could wind up being the most absurd looking chart ever.
