So that's my goal. Here is where I am at currently:
325 x 3 (didn't touch chest on the 3rd rep) is my best so far.
I have no idea what my 1 rep max is though.
Here is my workout routine:
Monday: Bench
Wednesday: Legs
Thursday: Over head press and back and bicep stuff.
The strategy I have been using for bench is like this:
I wait until I can do a number of reps at a set weight, and then I move up 10 pounds.
Example: 315 x 3 on a Monday..... Come back the following Monday and try to do 325 x 3. Then 335 and etc.
If I am not able to get the number of reps I want (Right now I've been doing 3) I come back the next week and retake the same weight until I reach the set number.
Some weeks I would do an over load set, using a board or bench device. Usually every other week. Now I just have access to boards and not bench tools anymore.
This week I did 325 x 3. Based on the principle I am going by I can move up to 335 for max reps but I'm thinking maybe I should lighten the weight up for a couple weeks. I was thinking of doing 295 for max reps my next bench session, and then the next week 315 for max reps and then 325 the next week.
Does this sound like I am on the right track?
Should I change anything?
Any help and/or opinions are much appreciated. Thanks.
