16 Mar Danny Vega – Powerbuilding Week 2 – Bench, Pulls, OHP

Over the next several months I will be the Guinea pig for some new ideas on training and diet that I will perfect with the help of Tucker Loken and Brian Carroll. This will be the groundwork for an upcoming ebook that we will release in the near future.

I’m having a lot of fun right now. This type of training is great. With Everything that’s going on in my life right now, it’s been a great stress reliever. I made my first dietary adjustment. Hopefully I’ll come in a little bit leaner this Saturday.

Bench/Chest Day

Paused bench 45×20, 135×8, 175×5, 225×5, 275×6, 290×6, 305×6, 315×7, 275×11

Bench volume 275×6, 290×6, 305×6, 315×7, 275×11. Body weight is sitting at 228. #1020life #tentwentylife #powerrackstrength #teampowerrackstrength #teamPRS #jackedandbeautiful #powerlifting #squat #benchpress #deadlift #offseason #meetprep #inzer #powerhousegym #tampa #Powerbuildingexperiment
