A few weeks before my last powerlifting meet I had some great bench sessions.  I was working well within the 85%-92% range of my max.  Unfortunately, I left my best numbers in the gym and did not hit a very good lift at my meet.  For my meet in 4 weeks, I am going to shut it down earlier.  Last night I hit some pretty good numbers, even for before my surgery.  I feel really good going into the meet.  The New York State record for the 242lb. and 275lb. full meet WNPF bench records are unrealistic for me at this time (395 & 430 respectfully).  I don't want to hurt myself even trying to go that high right now. 

Based on last nights training session, my planned attempts in the bench right now are 315/335/350.  350 is what I hit at Victory last week.  If I can hit that again, after squatting, I will be happy with the results, and it will be a meet bench PR for me.

Bench:  45/15/15, 135/10, 185/5, 225/5, 275/5, worksets 315/3/3, 325/3

Orange Band Assisted Pull-Ups:  5/5/4/3/4

Ring Dips:  4/3/2/2/4

Inverted Ring Rows:  5/5/5/5/5

Sled Pulls:  155lbs.  for 15 minutes/11.5 laps around my backyard.  That is a full lap better than earlier in the week with the
