RAW Bench 135x5, 185x3, 225x2, 275x1, 320x3, 345x1, 365x1PR, 320x2x3
Floor Press 275x4x5
Lat Pulldown 140x6x5
Olympic Grip Upright Row 135x6x5
Was only planning on working up to 320 for 3 sets of 3, after I got to the first set I decided to set a new PR for 1 Rep. This was a nice strong attempt considering I had already hit 320 for 3. Flirted with the idea of going higher but decided to do a couple drop sets. Pretty good outing tonight considering it was only supposed to be an SE night. But, acting on something I heard Louie Simmons say, if your feeling it, just go with it. You dont get the chance every outing. Plus with the impending Deload I figured what the hell.
Onto Floor Press, these were paused and Definitely felt them in the Triceps, good shit I tell you. The Lats and Uprights were pretty useful as well.
What can I say, its Christmas Eve, the Patriots won, and I hit a PR...Happy Holidays indeed.
Keep it Dark, Keep it Heavy!!!

Nice job, Chris! Are you a 220 now or still a 198? Either way, that's very strong benching...
Thanks John,
I am currently a legit 220, After I hit the 405 Mark I plan on leaning out and hitting the 198. My current bodyweight jumps between 216 and 223, depending on hydration and time of the week. I Believe the close grip has helped out alot. At my last bench comp a dude that benched 605 recommended CGBP and said it will have a dramatic effect. Well, my bench has gone up and i added an extra 1/4 inch on the arms so something must be working.
Thanks for stopping by and I wish you, and everyone else, a very merry christmas and a Happy New Year
Hey, Chris...
I'm about 210 right now, myself.
I keep planning on leaning out to 198 but losing those 10-12 pounds seems like the hardest thing on earth!
Mike Christian had me doing close grips religiously and it did help my bench grow a lot (from 285-315)...
You gotta hit those triceps hard!
