17 Dec Danny Vega – Off season Week 5 – Bench Assistance

I am currently in off season mode. Over the next 4 months I will be focusing on building my bench and working on some weak points until I start meet prep for next May’s RPS Redemption meet. I will be competing raw with wraps in the 242 weight class.

I’m really really happy with bench right now. This little program I wrote myself, along with the increased calories, is setting me up for a big bench PR in May. If it gives me the results I expect it to, I’m gonna make it available for people to buy and try out themselves. Body weight is at 237.2. I believe the most I’ve ever weighed for about a day was 238 so we’re almost on uncharted territory.

Lets say my bench is still at 400. I doubt that, but let’s say it is. This week I hit a ton of volume at 70-75% of that which is a PR of sorts. Anyway, here is what we did today:

2 board press 45×20, 135×10, 175×8, 225×5, 275×3, 305×6,6,6,9

3 board close grip 275×5,5,5,11

Standing BB OHP 185×5,5,9

One arm cable tri extensions 60×20, 75×15,15, 50×25

YTU 3×10 each
