16 Sep Danny Vega – USPA MEAT prep – Week 4 bench

I am preparing to compete at the USPA Veterans Classic on November 15th. I will be competing fake raw with wraps in the 220 weight class. 

The cat’s out of the bag. I’m competing in the Samson games on October 3rd in Miami. This is a light strongman/powerlifting/fat boy conditioning competition. It looks like a lot of fun. It’s 7 weeks out from the meet and not too heavy to tax me for the heaviest portion of meet prep. So I’m looking forward to that.

Bench continues to slowly improve. I’m feeling more confident and my speed seems better.

Competition Bench 45*15,15, 95*10, 135*5, 185*3, 225*3, 265*1, 295*1, 3*3@315@7

4bd closegrip Bench 3*5@275, 315, 345

Wide grip paused bench 3*5@275, 295, 285
