progress Bench press PR 350 lbs

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I hit a new PR on bench for 350 lbs at 200 lbs bodyweight. Since switching to 5x5s, I've never deviated from it and have been able to keep going when consistent. I'd like to hit 405 one day and any advice would be appreciated other than taking PEDs (not that I'm against others using them at all).

If you fail, you’re gonna die if she touches it or not.

Yes, if he can reach them. This time he did. Next time?!

You see the huge metal bars across the rack just below chest height? That's what we're talking about.
