That went up fast brother.
What percentage of your 1RM is 275?
You look like you could throw a lot more weight on that

I don't even know what my max really is right now. I haven't tried going "heavy" in months. I have my training max at 325 atm. I'm going to slowly start working up in weight now though. I'm not really looking at putting up anything special at my next meet, even 350-360 would make me happy at this point.
True enough
I'd be VERY happy with a 350 Bench lol
Especially considering I have about 20lbs of weight more than you on my frame lol

Workout today was,
4x3 squats @ 455lbs
4x5 paused bench @ 245lbs
3x5 floor press
3x12 wide grip seated row
4x12-15 SS upright rows and lateral raise
3x12, 1xamrap. arm blaster curls
3x12, 1xamrap. French press
Didn't even want to do the first set of squats let alone all four of the fuckers. Lol. Moved all the reps though without any grinders. Bench felt really good, didn't even have pain on the unrack. Put a good 150 miles on the bike yesterday and burned the shit out of my shoulders so there was technically some shoulder pain during bench. Lol

Was going to go back to back with volume blocks, but think I might treat this week as more of a deload and getting some shit down at one of my latest crack houses. I'm feeling good physically, but do feel a bit fatigued mentally. Hopefully giving my body a break to catch up will help me with my heavy sets coming up. Lol. 470x3s on squats this block. Then I'll be working up to 545x3(w/wraps) in 4 weeks, and hopefully 605x1(w/wraps) in 6 weeks.

Lol. I've been too pampered the last year to like working out in 80°+ weather. The sweat messes up the fabric in my Lululemon leggings. Haha. Joking.... kinda

Bar was a bit slippery today. But I guess when it's 90° out and humid af, that'll happen. Ordered a scale today so I can track my weight again. I noticed my waist is a little more tight again, so I doubt I've really gotten above 195 unless I got some really good drugs. Lol.

2x3 floor presses @ 295lbs
SS 3x15 French press and pullups
Squats were more or less true to the rpe 8 they were supposed to be, first set might've been a 7. Bench cruised with no pain. Definitely had at least 8 reps of 275 in me. Don't know how I've retained so much bench strength considering I believe this is only my second time touching 275 on flat bench in months. Lol.
