A season of hard-earned gifts. Congratulations, Fred!
Hey Fred, thanks for the compliment on my squats, they have been going well the last few months. I gotta say though, I am envious of the progress you've shown on your bench lately, nice PR today. I wish I could get mine moving like you have!
Thanks fifty!
I have made the best progress when I do 2-3 work sets of 3-4 reps and add 2 or 3 pounds a workout. I just keep adding weight and dropping load and then I am eventually only doing single intensity sets. This cycle I am on now has been very worthwhile as every workout with the bench has been either a load PR or an intensity set PR. I have to limit overall load due to old joints and I don't mean the green stuff.

215-1...not up to par after 4 nights of poor sleep and "holiday" fatigue. Poor time to peak!
Note:looking back this should have been a very light day of 3x3 @ maybe 170. (around 80% of 210x3 from last bench day)
