BBM offseason - Pressing

Bodyweight - 257

Incline Press - 350 method

barx20,20
135x12,10
185x5
225x4
275x3
315x2
365x1

225x29 PR
225x15
225x11

55 total = goal met

Flex Row - stack x 15,15,10
Hammer Shrugs - 135x50,50

Notes - I was actually still very tired but I "felt" like lifting, so I figured my time off had been enough.

The 365 single was NOT snappy, so I'm sure on a good night I have more than 225x29 in me.  I've been after 30 for a while so it felt good to hit 29 on a bad night.

  1. Damn, these plates were wobbling like crazy. Any reason why you don't use collars? Or don't you feel the plates shifting at all during your set?

  4. Aside from the clamps, maybe your spotter could try backing the fuck up a little. I don't know if it bothers you, but it drives me CRAZY when they have their hands around the bar like that "ready to catch it" at the first sign of slowing down. Throws my concentration off like nothing else.

    Really impressive press.

    On your (3) 225 sets, how much rest time in between?

  9. Oh. "bbm" off season presses. I thought it said BBW and got excited.
