Weightlifting: Bench Press 270 for 5

 

Since June when I started my PR every week challenge, I've put 10 lbs on almost all of my touch and go bench press PRs. That's pretty good progress for being 38 years old with a manual labor job, not to mention keep my weight just under 200 lbs the whole time. This approach works, at least for the deadlift and bench press.
