Nice thread.
I saw a post about 315 x 10 then going for 405 again...
Back in the day I hit 405-425 for a single on a few different occasions. However, I only hit 315 x 10 twice in my life. Always better at singles. Just some food for thought.
Also haven't been able to get back over 405 since May 2020 so I find this thread interesting to watch.

10 years now so close.its gotta happen.
Singles was never my thing and it seems that under 4 rep workouts i stall pretty fast. 4-6 reps is where its at for me. I soon may throw a week of 3s in with a bit heavier weight. We will see.
Brother you are not defeated. You rocked it! If all you can do is every 2 weeks and you put up that much weight, it’s a win.
Thanks man
Ya i am not dissapointed cant say inwas putting in the effort lol. My good shoulder been giving me issues for awhile. Seems the way i sleep on it and the scales being all time Pr of 276 it isnt helping haha.
Going to actually train back and arms shoulders again and bench. Will start back with some 8s on flat.
How much time do you invest in delt and lat work?
Muscle you need to build around a solid bench.
This. I had trained myself up to doing 315x5 but going to 405 one thing I changed was building my back. I used to train rows with bench and lat pull downs with over head presses. Horizontal and vertical days I guess. That and 5/3/1. On the 1+ day I would push for a 3 rep max.

Still here guys. 2 more sessions of accupunture and geisha. Id say im 70% better.
Doing rotator cuff work with ligh weight and bands. Some band rows and light bicep and tricep. Hitting alot of rear delt and lateral raise work. Few sets of flat bench with bar.
For the shoulder work question i hadnt done any in well over 6 months before all this started. I found when i had a pr ohp or seated press it disnt translate over to bench. BUT i now realize that the shoulder work helped to keep my shoulders healthy to bench.lesson learned.shoulders were always my weakness strength and healthwise id say. Injuries always were shoulder.

Not enough for shoulder i jad atopped doing pressing and and direct shoulder work as the shoukder strength didnt do anything for my bench numbers buttttt i realize now it kept them healthy.
