Bench

Benched on a forza competition bench. It was so damn wide that it felt like a twin sized bed compared to the Wooden benches.

Bench (brief pause)
195 x 1
215 x 1+1fail -215 is a PR, and the first one was easy so I got greedy and went for another. Stupid move.
215 x 1 @9.5

Push press
135 x 3
155 x 3
165 x 3
175 x 2 -PR

Incline dumbbell press
65s x 9, 7, 6

Lat pulldowns
220 x 10
240 x 8, 8, 7

Triple S raises
15s x 2 sets

BW after dinner: 191.6 lbs. This is the heaviest I've been in a while, but it's from pigging out while on vacation. Hopefully the bench PR isn't only because of this, and hopefully I'll poop all this weight out before the November competition.

To Matt: Could you repeat what exactly the 8, 9, and 10 ratings mean based on what's said in the RTS manual? I remember you said each one meant you had a certain number of reps left in the tank but I forgot the specifics.

damn Vit, are you turning into Clay? (getting fat and increasing bench to match mine)

In general:

7 is speed weight

8 is when you have 2-4 reps in the tank

9 is when you have 1 rep left in the tank

10 is max effort
