warm up

135x15
225x3x8
275x3x4 -rep prs each time usually

the other day i managed to get 350, which was pretty cool, raw as well.

Hey recon your one hell of a bencher! Are you pressing 350 with a brohen leg?! You'd probably be good for 365+ once you heal up and can put some leg drive in.You should compete man.

recon6991

Thats what im hoping for, but it will be a while till it is fully healed, thanks man

Awesome to hear you could always do Greco/Freestyle since there's clubs all over. And I think Granby has a camp up in VA. I couldn't imagine facing you in Greco with the numbers you put up.

recon6991

Thanks man, I am hoping to do just that with the greco roman. its going to be tough since i am not real familiar with it, but i have always wanted to try. I am pretty sure there a are a lot of clubs scattered through out the Marines so ill be looking for one.

Well, I went for a PR today, here is how it went
bench
135x15
225x10
300x3
325x3 - last rep was a real grinder
350x1 -pr

it was ugly as hell, definitely harder than i was anticipating. but i got it, felt great too. My body weight has been pretty steady at 193 for the past 3 weeks. still not cleared to do any sprinting work but I get on a stationary bike for an hour each morning. Been doing a lot of shoulder and arm stuff as well. Really miss squats and deadlifts. Did do a seated military press of 225 which was pretty tight.

hope all is well
