All I Can Think About Is 315!!!

[satchboogie]

man i feel like the end of this cycle will get me there...

i put up 270x4 quite easily..

but 315x1 is still a struggle.
thats the only thing thats been on my mind for the last few hours...
anyhow, just thought i'd share.

This is for flat bench press?

Dude, I hit 315 for 15 the other night! What's holding you up? I tell you bro, it's all in your mind. As soon as you get over the idea of 3 wheels, you'll hit it no prob. I did read about your cycle a couple of weeks ago. Just work on your head. You'll not only get there, you'll go beyond. Best of luck to you Boogieman.

How much do you weigh satch?

I am assuming that is you in the avatar, and you look like you should be able to handle 315---

It will come! I remember being stuck there... 275 for reps -- even 300 for reps.... then 315 would sit on my chest.

I use the reps x weight equation:
Max = Weight on Bar + (0.03 * Weight on Bar * Reps)

Using that, 225 x 13 ~= 275 x 4 ~= 315 x 1

If 315 isn't moving, you may want to play around with 225 and 275 as well (but yeah, there's also no substitute for feeling 315 every week too).

Thanks,

Mr. Plunkey

Hell yeah satch you can do it. I can still hit 315 off-cycle at 180lbs, on-cycle I've hit up to 335 for 4. Granted, bench is a decent lift for me, what with the midget-length arms and all, but you look jacked enough to handle it. It truly is a mental thing, I had huge mental blocks at 185, 225, 275, and 315. Now 365 is my struggle, every time I add a quarter or a plate it takes months to get over the fear.

Try some drop sets for chest, they really seem to boost my bench press-- With a spotter of course
