I got to my goal of setting 225 ponuds on the bench (have done as many as 5 per set, around 20-25 reps seperated by a couple of minutes). This is done on decline and flat bench depending on how they test that day. Now I think I’m going to start alternating higher rep sets at 225 and trying to push two-rep max higher while still using both benches.That was my main goal, but it’s been accompanied by steady improvement in back row ability (now generally doing 3 or 4 sets of 8 @ 220 lbs). I’ve also started doing my pullups with up to 15 lbs on my back, though I seem to have hit a bit of a stopping point on that in the last couple of weeks (possible reps not increasing). I think I’ll try those clap pullups. Am obviously shifting grips as well (basically following your pullup video). Just today I set a new vertical press record with a couple sets of 125, and also a new rep record at 115.I’d say that’s where my most easily reportable progress has been. The bench numbers are most impressive, as I was doing 65-70 lb barbell presses for maybe 2 years before I switched to straight benching around 145 lbs in March, started using biofeedback and a few other pieces of your advice, went from 170 lbs to 215 lbs benching over the summer, and polished off my goal of 225 lbs (two plates, NFL combine press weight) just last week, despite fighting some pre-existing shoulder tissue impediments in the process. Yay.
