Bench Press 300 x 8 reps (at 225 lbs)

I'm trying a new program geared towards increasing my bench press max. Chest day starts with 4 x 6 with up to 2 forced reps at the end of each set on flat bench. This was my first set with 300 x 8 (tied PR) after warming up. My second set was at 285 x 8, 275 x 8, 275 x 7 with 1 forced rep - I'll increase my weight for each set accordingly next week to make sure I get the 2 negatives at the end of each set. After flat bench, I alternate supersets with incline barbell & dumbell for 4 x 8; and then decline barbell & dumbell the next week. The bar was loaded with two 45lb silver plates with grip handles, one 35 lb plate, and one 2.5 lb plate on each side.

[SuperChamona]

@SuperSuperblake he arched his back a lot dude, i actually was thinking it was slightly over arched? idk.

those dont look as big as the 45lbs plate on the other machine, so im thinking those r 35s maybe even 25lbs lol...

[JULIOHpsp]
