Bench Training for WRPF European Championships

[BOSS]

Missed a couple workouts on here, but more recently:

DB Flat Bench
50s x 15
80s x 10
118s x 8
148s x 6
173s x 13 This was a nice PR up from just 10
173s x 10 Also a PR since the goal has been to achieve 2x10 with these

Seated Overhead Press (ring fingers on rings)
135 x 10
225 x 8
275 x 5
315 x 5
345 x 2
345 x 3 Got a smoother handoff so I hit the triple here

Cable Seated V-Bar Press Downs

3 x Failure

[BOSS]

Bench Vs Chains

135 x 10
225 x 8
315 + 40 x 5
365 + 60 x 3
405 + 60 x 3
425 + 60 x 3
440 + 60 x 2

Overall went pretty smooth this training cycle

Training went pretty well overall. 540 paused was my best lift and was easier than the other time I did it several years ago. I felt good for 551 at the meet but the bench setup was sliding quite a bit and threw me off a lot. More importantly I felt like I made progress and can still track toward another increase of 10 kg by the end of the year

Very nice work! When your legs are back to full strength the extra leg drive will push you into the 560 range, IMO.

Honestly I got plenty of leg drive. The problem was the leg drive slid the bench back about 6" and almost killed me. Thank god my strangulator wrist wraps didn't let me dump the weight when my elbows flared out of control when it happened.
