    Finally, I'm in the 300 club!!

    I was benching today and put on 285. Got it 3 times without a lot of strain, so I put on 295, got it once but didn't want to do more cos I wanted to go for 300. Put 300 on and hardly strained. I think I will go for 3 plates next week.

    Finally made it to the 300 club.

    You know, I made it to 315 like last fall for 3 reps, then one week it seemed i couldn't keep pushing the weight, I dont know what happened. And now I only have a crappy home gym to work out in untill i go back to school.

    that happens to me too.. i know i am not loosing strength but i just can't lift my max all of a sudden. it's some wierd mental thing (my guesse any way)

    Thanks bro...
    I do a 4 day split with cardio and / or tanning on 2 of the off days. I need to do more cardio, but my bf hangs around 8 - 9%, so I'm content.

    day 1) chest tri's
    day 2) bi's back
    day 3) legs
    day 4) off
    day5) shoulders, traps.
    day 6) off
    day7) off

    im in the 395 club.. lol cant get to 400 since i have a weird strain in my pec.. anyways so you were on 295 and then added 2 1/2lbs to each side? lol jk.. but good job. i remember hitting the 300 i was real excited. work hard because that 15 lbs to get to 3 plates is big jump. i think its alot mental tho.

    congrats i know the exact feeling.. my goal was 300 and i got to 295 and pushed it kind of easily.. so the next week i went back and loaded up 315 and pushed out 3 unassisted.. I think i got up off the bench with a huge smile!!! I started out that cycle 12 weeks previous with a max of 205x4 so it was a milestone for me.. i have been on dumbells ever since but cant wait to get back to flat bench to try to get to 345 eventually.

    Sounds awesome. I don't understand why some people want to try mind altering drugs. When you get a mind blowing weight up and get an adrenaline rush like that that shakes you for the rest of the day, that's a much better high IMHO. And it didn't cost any precious brain cells.

    I know exactly what you guys mean. I'm almost positive I could have gotten 300 again, but I was trying so hard to hold back my smile that I lost concentration. I started feeling a little like a show of or something. The guys I workout with are straining big time with 245 and I'm hitting 285 3 times. Not that it makes me any better, but damn it's a good feeling.

    That's awesome man. I can't wait until I get up there, but it will take me a long while being that I only weigh 150. Benching 90# dumbells for 6 easy though. I did max at 225 about a month and a half ago. I'd rather do dumbells myself.
