Yeah, I think it might be mental too. When you start slowing down on a squat or whatever, you should just keep pressing on as hard as possible, even if you slow down to a snail's pace. Just think of all the times you thought I was going to fail on a squat and I just kept pressing on.

I assume you're benching with a spotter too? I know mentally just knowing that if I fail I'm going to crush myself really fucks over my bench on days I'm not really feeling it, course it works both ways, if I'm feeling good, that same image makes me just refuse to fail. Now I just ask for a spot from one of the huge fuckers at my gym. Pays to have huge powerlifting dudes that can easily lift any weight I could possibly bench, most likely one handed.

OCT 23 - Bench assistance Shoulder press, seated, bar to chest 135 x 8 155 x 5,8,6 185 x 5 pr, but might of cut a few reps high 135 x 8 cable rows v-handle 240 x 8,8 260 x 5 280 x 5 pr wide-bar 180 x 3 x 8 the wide bar cable rows with grip at bench width is a great exercise. It feels like it gets all my benching back muscles. Remember to arch back and pull shoulder blades back close grip paused 225 x 5,5 245 x 5 lat raise 25 x 8,8,8 30 x 5 bent over 15 x 3 x 8 rolling tri x some tate press x some hurts elbow this exercise is gay OCT 24 - DE LOWER speedy squats +80 chain 185 2 x 8 205 2 x 2 gm small ssb bar 1 plate x 2 x 8 1p + 10 x 2 x 8 ghr 3 sets standing abs OCT 26 - ME UPPER Bench, 2 board 225 x 5 315 x 2 335 x 2 355 x 1 365 x ffffffffff bench, 4 board 315 x 5 335 x 5,5 db neutral grip x many reps band tri pushdown cable rows OCT 28 - ME LOWER Squat to low box + plate (14'' ?) used belt 135 x 5 225 x 5 315 x 2,2 335 x 1 365 x 1 (pr) 315 x 1,1 225 x 1 Thats it had to get back to work OCT 30 - ME UPPER @ 24hr Close grip bench, suicide grip 135 x 5 225 x 5 245 x 3 275 x 3,3 295 x 3,3 (pr) 305 x 1 (pr) 315 x 1 (pr) 225 x 2 x 5 paused Did these in cage with pins set right at chest assuming I arch. On a few sets of the 295 I would slip off of the bench so I would have to re-setup again. Grip was outer edge of my hands touching the smooth which I think is a little wider than ive done close grip before. bench row 160 x 2 x 8 180 x 2 x 8 (bench row = bench grip, wide bar, back arched, touch to where I touch with bench) tri pushdown 140 x 3 x 10 lat raise 25 x 3 x 8 I ate a lot of cookies last night; I think that is why I was stronger than usual today. ITS BEEN A GOOD FEW DAYS. I learned a parallel box for me is actually 17.5 inches which surprised everyone including me.
