Found my 1rm in bench today since my 265 at the competition was paused.
245 x 1
265 x 1
275 x 1
285 -> failed
Pretty happy with the result. Almost at a 1.5 bw bench!
Then:
bench 135 5x10
chins 5x10
Starting next week, I'll be focusing primarily on olympic weightlifting. The coach I mentioned (heretofore known as Bram) is trying to basically start an oly team. My coworker (heretofore known as Jeff) and I will be the first members. Our plan is to do 3 times a week of oly training with Bram, and 1-2 sessions of strength training on my own since the amount of weight i will be handling at first won't affect my recovery really.
I'm super excited about this; we have a target oly meet in March. Hopefully I'll have some reasonable numbers by then! By the way I'm also gonna do a powerlifting meet in february, in Selma AL (mostly because my friend from high school is going to compete, and it gives me a reason to chill at home for a bit. This guy squats and deadlifts 600, and benches 360ish? at 210).
This is awesome. Oly lifting is sweet as shit.
