Do you guys think I can go from my current bench PR of 2pl8 for 10 reps to 3pl8 1RM at age 35+?Or will I ACK myself irredeemably and regret it sorely
How often do you progressively overload?
>>76761809Currently I'm slimming down but I'm usually doing PPL 6 times a week and try to do it every sessionWith a serious bench effort I would of course incorporate a real program like Smolov and have alternating weeks I'd imagineMay reduce my days of training to 5 days and turn my press days into bench days
>>76761809So 225x10 to -> 315x1Your theoretical orm is 300 lbs you only have to get 15 more lbs in there. Just try putting micro plates on your 10 rep set until you're 10 repping 236ishthen you're there
>>76761806Estimated top end is not the same as true top, unless you practice ORM a lot you will probably fall a bit short, likely around 280, simply because you're not used to going that heavy, not because of actual lack of strength.
>>76761869I think he can get there with like the typical high frequency low volume workup like 2 or 3 weeks before.
>>76761806I don't know why you'd ever train bench at 10 reps ever but if you weren't retarded, you'd already be at 3pl8
