Bench Press challenge...

oooh haven't been any heavier than 110kg this year for bench. 145kg is my best, reckon I could have hit 147.5kg when we were doing our last block of training on bench. But I was nearly 15kg heavier then (lol) so I suspect 130ish is probably the best I'd manage. Plus I still get shoulder twinges and don't love bench enough to risk redlining.
@Hooroo triceps bro! reckon that is the 'secret' to faster gains on bench. Depends on what parts of the lift are being problematic but often improving tricep strength is the way to go. Getting your technique and breathing sorted is also super important.
Hitting 3 wheels feels pretty cool!
I'm not aiming to improve as a target, the goal is improve my golf through doing controlled and directed exercise. While I do love doing the 1rm session once or twice a year, it is meaningless in terms of the result I want.
I'm hitting the ball much further now purely due to her research in what works best for golf power and balance.

@Hooroo I hear you bro. You want to make progress on your goals and if they aren't 1RM related then it's not worth chasing! It can be fund for shits and giggles, but you don't want to risk injury just for the hell of it.

Oh I can totally see why people go for that. A goal is a goal!!
