I worked up to a few heavy triples then tossed on an old warn out slingshot for a little overload work. I have been using bands and the shoulder saver to do some overload work the past couple months and I think it has really helped my nervous system get used to holding bigger weights. I plan to rotate some slingshot work in for the next couple months.
Bench Press ( no slingshot )
135x3
225x3
275x3
315x3
345x3
385x3
Sling Shot on - 3 board press
405x1
445x1
475x1
500x1
the last few felt really, really heavy in my hands and I will admit my confidence was not there. On the way up, they were all relatively easy though. In 3 weeks I will shoot for a PR.
Accessory work:
DB shoulder Press 80lb Dumbbells x 12,12,12,22 (max reps)
superset
Chest supported Row 3x15
Cable upright row
superset
Cable Tri Pushdown
20,15,10,5
It was a great workout. I am starting to feel stronger in my bench.
