 All right everybody, what is going on? Welcome to another video and another episode of making gains and today Finally I'm gonna go down to the gym and try and beat my PB on the flat bench for a five by five anyway I wouldn't be able to tell you what my what my max on the benches because I really don't know the last time I tried that I got 110 kg and that was probably about a year ago, so I Would assume my one rep max would be up around about the hundred and twenty kg mark But you know I couldn't say today. We're gonna do a five by five at 95 kg If I could put a hundred kgs on there and do a good solid five by five I would be so happy, but I don't think I'm there yet, so we're gonna sit at 95 kilos and You know I realize I realize guys that that's not That's certainly not impressive for my body weight You know my body weight is over a hundred kg and I still can't even bench-press that for reps So something's going wrong with my chest training. I know I do know what I need to do I know that the best sessions I have The ones where I really really push myself are the ones where I've got a spotter And if I don't have a spotter with me, I just cannot push myself as hard as I need to to progressively overload on something like chest So no spotter today as per usual, but we are gonna go for this PB That's the main thing I want to do today if I get it. I'm gonna be really happy if I don't You know it's back to the drawing board and that'll be quite disappointing, but Fingers crossed you know this reminds me of the time when I was sitting right here Actually talking to you guys about how I was gonna go down to the gym and hit a PB on the deadlift and it happened So I finished night shift It's about eight o'clock in the morning and we're gonna go and smash this. So let's do it No, that's that's too close Welcome back to the vlog. We're here It's a couple of days post chest session and I am absolutely stoked that we hit a new PB 95 kilos five reps Five by five with a set of seven to finish Now I went in there not knowing exactly how things were gonna go but one variable I did control was my the amount of volume I did on my warm-up now I am known to go hard go too hard in my warm-up sets Even taking some of them to failure. I've been known to do that Which is absolutely ridiculous because you're taking away all of your strength For your for your top sets. So this time, you know, it was a really quick warm-up I got into my working set weight and Yeah, push through it was great. Got it got it done. Honestly I was gonna put a hundred kgs on for the last set, but I decided not to I decided to just stick at 95 kilos I would have been really fucked off if I didn't get it because then that wouldn't have been a five by five But I did get five by five including a set of seven at the end. So absolutely stoked about that we are making gains finally finally I'm making some gains on chest and You know, I couldn't be couldn't be happier about that. So thanks for watching guys That's how the bench presses is tracking All other lifts are sort of going up slowly slowly But bench presses definitely being one that I've plateaued at for quite a while, but obviously not now. So the next The next time I do a five by five. I'll be attempting a hundred kilo. I'm confident that I can definitely get five reps with a hundred So whether I can do five by five with a hundred Is is yet to be known, but we'll do that all in good time guys We've got three more months of bulking and I can't wait. So until then have a great day Train hard eat well all that good stuff. See you next one
