Kane,

I will try the longer rest times. Never did that before. maybe 3 minutes at most.

I have also read that doing additional sets of an exercise after another one can be effective for strength training. I haven't read of that being used for PR attempts but what do you think of the following:
  • Foam rolling
  • Mobility exercises
  • Squat - Warm-up sets to 80% 1RM
  • Bench Press - Warm-up Sets
  • Bench Press - singles to test 1RM
  • Squat - work sets for current routine (possible PR attempt, otherwise I'll wait until Friday)
  • Bench Press - singles starting at earlier 1RM with fractional plate loading

Or do you think that I will be fatigued too much to go back to the bench?
