260lb Bench @ 180lb BW

- Bench: 102/225 x 1, 107/236 x 1, 113/249 x 1, 118/260 x 1 (PR)
- Squat: 127.5/281 x 3 x 5
- Weighted Chin: 25/55 x 2 x 8
- Weighted Dip: 20/44 x 3 x 10
- Ab Circuit
- Neck Harness: 24/53x4x50
- Conditioning: Prowler x 12 x 20m trips with 163lb in 10:00 (alternating high/low handles)



Today concluded Steel’s 5 week Big Bench program. I absolutely smashed my previous best and set a new 1 rep max of 118kg/260lbs at 180lbs. What has impressed me the most isn’t the 5% increase in my max but the relative ease with which I did it and the fact that I have been losing weight while on the program. Absolutely fucking stoked.

Needless to say, the rest of the session was great while I rode the high of the significant bench PR. Strength is coming back on the squats and I’m pushing the prowler with greater ease and recovering between trips faster than ever before.

Today’s performance convinced me to be designated driver this New Years Eve and not get wasted. I hope everyone has a great New Years!
