[Seath308]

Tomorrow I'm going to Hit a 3 Board 1 Rep max and after that I'll Do a 2 X 5 at a lower weight. I Think my PR on these was 495 But that was awhile ago have been doing a strict 5/3/1 for over 3 months now. I haven't used the board for a long time. Tomorrow will be a good day to help determine how close I am to a 435 Competition Bench Press.
