Yet another day in the banderific bench!

Raw Bench:135x10, 225x8, 315x1 (So super easy!)
Raw 4board with doubled mini's: 315x3 (6 sets)
Raw Bench with Doubled mini's: 275x2 (4 sets) 295x1*(PR, had a lot more in me)

Pushdowns: Worked up to a 6 Rep Max with 140

V-Grip Pulldowns:3x10

Pulldowns:3x8

Rolling Triceps:55x8 (2 sets, my triceps were done at this point!)

315 with the doubled mini's wasn't as bad as I thought. I need to work on my lockout power so I figured why not try lifting the weight equal to a golf cart at lockout :P I'm more than positive I could do 315 with the doubled mini's raw full range no problem. I think I'll increase the bar weight to increase the workload on my triceps. Tonight really was about increasing lockout power and being able to control big loads of weight. After I was done with the full range mini's I did the bar weight for a single (275) and honestly it felt like an empty bar, it just went up so fast you would of thought I was warming up with 135!! My goal of 405 raw is looking more and more realistic by the minute, and the 500 bench will fall this year just watch out! I'm right on if not ahead of schedule!!!
