Drained
I have the mind set now I want to break 300 lbs on my bench press. All my training now is leading up to this point. Decided to do chest since I had spotters in the gym today and tomorrow I most likely won’t. Went heavy again to see what I can do.
Bench press - 135 lbs 10 reps, 225 lbs 3 sets 10 reps, 250 lbs 6 reps, 275 lbs (negatives 4 inches) 4 reps, 205 lbs 10 reps, 185 lbs 10 reps, 135 lbs 15 reps
Incline cable flyes - 3 sets 25 lbs per arm 12 reps
Machine press (upper chest) - 45 lbs per arm 3 sets 12 reps
Front DB raises - 25 lbs per arm 3 sets 8 reps
Side DB raises - 15 lbs per arm 3 sets 8 reps
Lying rear DB raise - 12 lbs 3 sets per arm 8 reps
1 hour and 40 minutes given or take for talking and recouping between the heavy bench press. Impressed with my progress and hope to keep going with my bench high and higher the safe way. Big protein shake and then relax the rest of the day. Tomorrow is abs, legs and biceps and sunday might be a hiking day instead of lifting.

Nice chest and shoulder work Matthew. Your bench numbers looking real good.
