Thanks man...

I am bad for not resting enough...try picking four core bench exercises (like regular bench, floor presses, close-grips, and close-grip high inclines) and do one of them as your core exercise each week. Develope PR's for each one and rotate through them each week to try and constantly break those PR's. It keeps your body from getting bored and overtraining. Whenever you start to feel weak, deload for a week, and start all over. Good luck bro.

yeah man im at 170 pounds and can bench like 280 but im trying hella hard to get that up.

All the time bro...that's why you have to cycle things. Take a few workouts and deload, etc. Look up Westside Barbell's conjugate method for some details on how to use their pendulum wave.

[BRETZERR]

Thanks bro...I appreciate that great comment. It helps to motivate me to lift more, so keep it coming!

[BRETZERR]

Thanks man...great comment.

I am the exact same way. I would much rather be lean and as strong as physically possible than bulky. That is why I find Randy's videos to be an inspiration to my training. The fact that someone who only weighs 205 can press this much weight gives me hope that I can do this much one day.

Incline BP is way harder too so 345 on incline is outstanding!

Keep up the good work!

Thats awesome brother! Form is flawless and the fact that you can keep it going after the acceleration drops that much is amazing. When my lifts slow that much it is not long before they go into reverse! You just keep pouring on the power dude!

great Job!
