Injuries come with the territory... just trying to train smart and heal up a bit... which is really much easier said then done when the only way I know how to train is heavy! LOL

Yeah seriously I recently started training lighter for a little while, mainly by incorporating bands and shit like that, Or only going heavy on the big 4 (I count military) then 8-10 reps on everything else. But since talking to you way back when Ive made a ton of leaps, I hit 365 for a triple on bench, calculator says thats 409, But I'm afraid to try.

if you hit 365 for a triple you can handle at least 405

The 585 in the video is his current best. Crazy that his best bench is a paused rep! I've spotted him on 495 for 7... 405 for 20... and 315 for 36. These were all touch and go.
