22 Feb Danny Vega – Off Season Week 7 – Bench

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.

Last week I deloaded. Nothing exciting. These next two weeks are the heaviest of this off season. Hitting heavy doubles this week and beating them next week. Simple as that.

This morning I benched and I have to mention this again: SWOT weekend was awesome! 6 hours of training and talking shop with high level lifters and coaches was extremely helpful. My new bench set up feels money.

Paused Bench 45×15, 135×8, 175×5, 225×3, 265×2, 305×2, 345×2, 2×2@375

This new bench set up is money! 2×2@375 was cake. Thanks again Paul Key! #1020life #tentwentylife #powerrackstrength #teampowerrackstrength #teamPRS #jackedandbeautiful #powerlifting #squat #benchpress #deadlift #offseason #meetprep #inzer #powerhousegym #tampa #RPSpowerlifting

DB incline bench 2×6@110

DB incline 2×6@110. As the off season draws to an end, I am tapering off on the volume and reps. Feeling good. #1020life #tentwentylife #powerrackstrength #teampowerrackstrength #teamPRS #jackedandbeautiful #powerlifting #squat #benchpress #deadlift #offseason #meetprep #inzer #powerhousegym #tampa #RPSpowerlifting @strengthfirstofficial
