Thanks J! Just grinding my way back to somewhat respectable numbers

You're recovering from being hurt and not dead.

Seriously, I felt really tired the whole day yesterday. Not sure why ... maybe my PMS was kicking in?

Fine pulling too!

315 felt okay on my knee, which was great to find out

Strong paused work up above. I love RTS when you get to the intensity phase especially for bench. Happy late birthday Tuan!

**Woody-5** · 01-10-2014, 12:52 AM

happy birthday dude!

remember, 60 is only a number

Thanks bro! Like you, I'm loving RTS for bench. Seems to respond well to it. I need to try it for squats and deads at some point once I feel my knee is fully healed.

255x1

Notes
* Since it was my birthday, I wanted to at least match my flat bench PR (325) but it was not to be. Pretty sure I would have hit it if not for the mishaps on that rep. Happy with everything else though

* Next week I'll be deloading bench and then start another RTS cycle the week after. Not sure yet if I'll keep it the same or add some other factor to the base program.

Deliciously fine benching my man!
That's a lot of reps over 300! Good stuff!

Do anything to celebrate your birthday or are you waiting for the weekend?

**MatTheCur** · 01-10-2014, 06:22 AM

Jeebus man, that's some fine benching, slips or no slips.

**MatTheCur** · 01-10-2014, 01:34 PM

Won't lie. I actually went back to my post to make sure that I hadn't posted that. Though now, in hindsight, I should have posted exactly that!

**audieswu** · 01-10-2014, 01:37 PM

Strong supplies pic and stronger bench session bro!!

**New Evolution** · 01-10-2014, 03:16 PM
