Strength phase baby!
Tonight, after getting over 15 hours of catchup sleep, just had one of the best lifting days I've had in quite a while. ME Bench I maxed out bench pressing at 405 x 1 AGAIN!.. This time after a solid month of straight hypertrophy training (low/mod. freq, long TUT, moderately high volume). So I haven't lost a beat, and actually gained strength overall alternating. Worksets I just kept adding 20 lbs in disbelief.. 345, 365, 385, 405 x 1. I had a spotter standing behind, and he never had to touch the bar so I'm STOKED. I figured I lost some strength and was hoping for 365ish. This was the first time in the past 3 months w/ IA that I attempted a 1 RM for bench.
Now I've got three more weeks to bring it up higher... Good grief.
