Now for your first comment, I'm not clear on what you mean and how it translates to actual performance of the 3 reps. My bench 1 RM is 255. Does that mean when I cycle up to 255 at a 2.5% rate per week on heavy days that I should be able to do a set of 3? What about the remaining 4 sets on the 5 x 3 heavy day? Thanks again for your advice here.
Oh and to all and sundry, sorry for the double post to tertius. The tears in my eyes over the Bears' defeat affected me the rest of the day. (sob)
