Strength: 20 M to find your 1 RM bench press. Your weight jumps & rep planning is critical whenever you are finding a 1 RM of anything. Let me lay out a possible plan of attack for tomorrow, based on a person with a 200 pound (previous) max bench press.
Warm up sets & weights are pretty personal, but remember you are not “working” here, you are just getting warm & lose. Bar X 10 reps, 75 X 5-8 (I would do two sets of 5 reps…personal preference), 95 X 3, 115 X 3, 135 X 1-3. Now things are getting serious. Don’t rush your sets.
165 X 1
180 X 1 (this is my 4 rep weight from 6/2 & 6/15)
195 X 1 (this is my 2 rep weight from 6/15)
210 X 1 for a new 1 RM
…additional weight attempt based on how 210 went up.
Most women’s bench jumps in those last 3-5 singles are 10-15 #. Men’s are about 15-25.
WOD: 12 RFT
3 power snatch 135/95 115/85
6 TTB
