300 bench

Did a max lift today of 300 on bench press, since that was my year-end goal, I’m going to have to crank that up a bit and try for 315. The good news is if I can hit 315 squat tomorrow I’ll have my 1000 set (385 deadlift + 315 squat + 300 bench). I’ve done 315 in the past, so I’m feeling pretty confident but the year-end goal is still 350.

I need to maintain a mix of primary exercises so I don’t lose the feeling of weight on the bar (having 300+ lbs on your back pushing you to the floor takes some getting used to) as well as complimentary exercises so I don’t blow out my back or shoulder.

It feels good to actually reach some goals.
