Let's bench 4 plates

Tuesday
I did something to my left knee (feels specific to the kneecap) coming downstairs this morning. Hurt like a mofo for a bit. On went a knee sleeve which helped loads. Took it half off for my afternoon steps and just got a tiny twinge on my way back. Zero reason for it to hurt - no obvious straining, twisting etc. Training was great lol

The plan was 3 x 4 x 100kg/220lbs. But I was in the zone so 100 x 4, 102.5kg x 3 x 3 reps then singles to a fail at 112.5kg/247.5lbs

As above the first 3 reps with 300kg/682lbs never moved as quick as it did today. Off camera is Landon Jackson (former bodybuilding competitor and still a big lump) and Chris Jones filming and both encouraging me to get it done. I had the 6 reps in mind (I think the previous PB was 4) as a 'do this, do the next 2 numbers and 400kg/881lbs will go'). I sat on the bench 2x paused on the 440lbs/200kg with just a support belt on. The 310kg I I had my Cerberus Extreme knee wraps on (3m and hardcore - sods to put on lol), proper belt etc.

I also started with 30mg dbol yesterday (might up to 40 or 50) for the next 4-8 weeks (poss switch to Var around week 4 - we will see). I also ordered a Mark Bell 'MadDog' XXL Slingshot yesterday

Tuesday
I might swap around a forearm specific move with the Saxon bar work cos it can be so annoyingly inconsistent. Press was great so the usual idea of hard leg Monday meaning struggle Tuesday can't apply

Seated Press
to 105kg/231lbs (changed on the fly from an intended 102.5kg x 7) x 4 reps

Saxon Bar Work
to 105 x 1 and done. Dropped it down and was still done. Off home then
