Bench: 135x5,5, 185x3, 225x1, 260x6
Incline Bench: 135x5, 227.5x5
Decline Bench: 135x5, 185x5, 270x5

My max on June 3 was 275, and today I did 6 reps with 260! My max must be over 300 by now. I want to get 315 before I go on vacation next month.

thanks for the encouragement.. it means a lot.

What do you think my max is when I can do 6 reps with 260?

 

[IronLion]

It varies individually but I would suggest that youaim for 305 for your first single when you work up, then hit 315 b/c we all know you'll blow 305 off your chest. After that just go by feel. You'll know when you are done.

BTW just b/c you fail a weight don't be afraid to fight it up again

 

[Screwball]

I would say 300-320.

Your reps seem a bit slow. Hit that speed work. Congrats on the PR.

1RM of 260x6 is 302x1

 

[Mike_Rojas]

Hit that speed work.

That speed work was killing my joints, so I cut back on it. My speed has improved a lot, believe it or not.

Great job Mike! You'll have that 315 before you know it
