PR doing pyramids
145 for 12
185 for 10
225 for 8 (none of these 3 sets were hard)
then 265 for 5.
that was what i did i think 3 weeks ago. only attempted 265 for 5 once, other than that, my prior max on pyramids was 245 for 5.
5'6", 160ish, only been lifting for 3 1/2 months. going to 5x5 on monday, that is, as long as my basement is prepped in time for me to workout. i'm not attempting any new maxxes for a few months. last time i attempted a max bench, it kind of threw my back into a tizzy, but didn't feel it til the next day (2 herniated discs in the thoracic).
