After routine warmup;
5/3/1 working sets -
280X5, 310X3, 340X1. All paused.
Went for some heavy singles;
360X1. Paused and felt fast.
370X1 paused. That tied my paused bench PR. Feeling strong so kept going;
380X1 paused. Was training solo, so that was without a liftoff or handoff. That is a bench PR for me, and I believe good enough for the Manitoba unequipped bench record in the 105 open division which is 379 lbs (172.5kg). And honestly I think if I had a liftoff I could have grinded out 5-10 more lbs.
Feels good to finally set a PR in the bench after all the work.
BB Bench - 315X5, 225X10 paused explosive.
DB Incline - 100X5, X7, X5.
Maybe the extra strength is coming from some a little weight gain (228.6) today, I don't know. Last workout of Cycle 7 tomorrow with squats then right into cycle 8. That will be the last cycle before Westerns on Oct 4th in Calgary.
