I also would like to ask... Are you using the bench as depth guide or an actual squat variation... box squats? If its supposed to be a variation then I would say it may be beneficial to allow some more of the weight onto the bench to force you to derive more "out of the hole drive." If its just a depth guide then ignore what I just said.

lol sorry about all my questions, I'm just interested.

Nov 23rd

bench 215x3, 245x3, 275x3+5(8) felt good but I kind of wish I had a spotter to take away the fear of getting caught ( should have done 10) and so I could have taken the bar out a bit farther

Incline barbell press: 3x8,6,5 @ 225

rear delts with cable pully : 3x20@40
s.s w/
tri pushdowns 3x40@50

wasn't really thinking about it, lol. I would have to say as a marker point or more of a comfort zone , which isint a good thing but that is a mental thing I need to work out. I have done box squats or used the bench for atleast 6 months now so I really don't know why I thought I would need it. Next week I'm going for 505 and I'm not going to use the bench because I want to get the depth right and since we no longer have the box at our gym I will have to feel it .

So to answer tour question I guess it was more for the marker than anything else.
