225 x 3

315 x 5 (new high for reps)if I had a spotter I could have went for six

275 x 10(new high for reps)

Today was my best day ever doing reps with 250 pounds.

As always we did four sets with this weight.

Set 1-28 NEW RECORD FOR REPS AT THIS WEIGHT

Set 2-27

Set 3-24

set 4-20

This also accomplished my goal of doing this weight for at least four sets of 20 or more.

I would like to see a video or something. I call no way.

You are welcome to come with me to my brother's place on Wednesday when we lift again. I have no reason to post lies on a website full of people I do not know. Those who point fingers are usually the ones who do such things.:jump:

^ Yes, I am a liar, I have been caught.

I'm getting tennis elbow again which really stinks. Had it about 3 months last summer. Did 295 3 times on incline a week ago. Today ha 225 x7 and my elbow felt like I'd just gotten done with a UFC fight. It's weak and it hurts. Pretty cool right before my best lifting months of the year.

Today was ok on the bench.

High lights

 

315 for five(ties my best reps)

265 for 16(a new high rep)

275 for 11 (a new high rep)

My elbow is still getting worse, which stinks, I did 305 3x on my fifth set of incline the other day. Then my elbow hurt the rest of the day, and continues to hurt.

I hope the elbow gets better for you.

 

I'm trying to figure out if it's the weight thats bothering my elbow, or just that I'm working out too much. I really hope it's just the weight. If that's the case I'm gonna start just doing reps of 10-16 and just get cut up.
