Come 2011 I'll come close to if not bench 700lbs. New Training Split will look like this
Day 1
Lockout and Speed Bench
High Rep Triceps
Repetition Bench
Chest Work
Day Two
Heavy Bench Day
Heavy Triceps
Heavy Repetition Work
Day 3
Rear Delts
All Things Back
Biceps
Forearms
Legs
Main Goal from this is to gain muscle and have my shirt be nice and tight for me to get a big bench and get the maximum amount of pop from my chest. Instead of getting my shirt altered and having my arms brought in a half inch or so, I figure I'll get really big arms to solve the problem. Will still train legs so I can get more leg drive (and so I can look spiffy in my singlet :P) Will train forearms so they too are bigger and will be able to handle the new stress they will be put under. I will dedicate one-two days a month to simply rehab and prevention. High rep and prehab work will be the focus of these days. Lets see how this works. Goal for the USPA State championship is 650-675!
A little about me
I have competed in both Olympic Weightlifting and Bench-Only Lifting. I competed in Olympic Lifting as a kid. Best lifts of 255 Olympic Press, 225 Snatch, 255 Clean & Jerk. I met many of the great lifters and coaches from the 60's and 70's. After a 20-year break to serve my country I started lifting regularly again and competing in Bench-Only. Best Lift: 419lbs "equipped".
Feel free to follow along on the adventure...
