After having set an all-time PR on my equipped bench press with 457lbs, I'm now in off season mode getting back to some heavy training while running my gym, THIRST.

 Thursday evening's speed work went rather well and things felt pretty good. I ended up working up to a really good top set of 8 on my close grip bench press, which I did not see coming. Then I just cranked the back volume and went home. It was a busy week business wise!
