23 Dec Danny Vega – Off Season Week 6 – Bench accessory

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.

Bench workouts are really fun nowadays. I feel fresh despite the volume, and I feel really strong.

Speed bench plus 70lbs of chains 45×20, 135×8, 135×5 (added chains), 185×3, 6×2@225

Closegrip Spoto press 275×2, 295×2, 315×2, 335×2, 335×2+2 touch and go reps

DB shoulder press 65×5, 85×5, 100×9, 90×11

One arm cable push downs x20,15, drop set 10+15

Some last thoughts: I’m at 240 and I am really happy with the weight I’ve put on. My advice to anyone who wants to put on weight–do it the right way. It will take longer but you will stay lean and not hate yourself. Fat is useless.
